Battlefleet, a game for iPhone

It's not quite a native iPhone game, but it's one of the best games I've seen for the iPhone yet-- Roger sent us his version of Battleship (which is actually a pen and paper game that predates Milton Bradley's version-- I did not know that), called Battlefleet.

It's super easy to play, and turns out to be not only a faithful recreation, but includes a lot of little fun graphical touches as well-- the ships look good, and bombs drop and explode or splash into the water. There's also three difficulty options, and you can even track wins and losses over multiple games. Unfortunately, there's no way to play two player (as it would probably require some networking wizardry), but it's as good a game as you could ask of a solo version. And the computer opponent is just plain devious, anyway-- I hate it when he finds my aircraft carrier and then just goes to town.

You sank my battleship!

This is a sorry excuse for a game. The NES emulator is the only thing that even gets Close to portable entertainment. And even that is nothing for what the iPhone is capable of doing. Every game for it so far is a piece of cr@p. The only one other than the NES.. that is pretty decent is Tap Tap Revolution. That NateTrue guy is the only one who's done anything good for iPhone 3-party stuff. Everything else is a complete JOKE.

I just opened http://www.iphonebattlefleet.com which has a web browser entrance, great for playing BattleFleet on the Wii. Let me know what you think.

This is game is awesome. I never thought we would have such a cool game and so fast. I am in awe of what people have been able to make work on the iPhone. It seems like there's something new every day for it. Maybe, eventually, we'll get to see what else Apple can do with it.
