iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.
iPhone Game Reviews
As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
Retro games can be a lot of fun. They are a blast from the past for players old enough to remember when they were new, and they can be a new insight into gaming for younger players. Setting up and maintaining older systems is a lot less fun. If you are determined never to blow on another cartridge again, these titles can help:
Space Invaders: Infinity Gene

Compatibility: iPhone or iPod Touch

Space Invaders may be the most iconic retro game of them all. If carrying around an Atari is a bit too much for you, then you can take it mobile on your iPhone. This game has both the classic feel and the sound, so if you are playing on an iPod touch it is worth getting out your headphones for this game. You will miss out if you don’t.
Get ready for all the line based shooter action that you can handle.
Mega Man II

If you miss your SNES games, this application is for you. Recently upgraded, the 1.5 version has made the controls easier to use and the sound. Just be aware that you won’t be able to save from the menu.
Granted, it’s not exactly the same as the original game, but it still has the look, feel and sounds.
B.I.T.S. Pinball Free
Seller: Blue Bear Studio
Compatibility: iPhone or iPod touch
Requirements: iPhone OS 1.1 or higher
File Size: 10.2MB
Price: Free
Age Rating: 4+
Pinball is the oldest of all of the retro games, and now you can get your hands on in on you phone. All of the fun of bouncing a shiny metal ball, without the pain of flipper button hand pain. You can even get the retro feel of the clacks and beeps with this game.
The best part is that it is free. If you don’t like it, you did not waste any money on the game.
