Gameloft to release 15 iPhone games by end 2008

I would love to see a Palm emulator, miss those games.

I think the iPhone games are meant for casual on-the-go game (you know, to while time away while the girlfriend is trying on her 100th pair of black shoes) or while commuting. Simple does it.

I'd like to see a Photo Hunt clone for iPhone.

To be completely honest, I'm unexcited about this announcement from Gameloft. The games on iTunes aren't exceptionally good, and it just feels like they're going to become a 'stack 'em high and sell 'em cheap' form of game, which isn't what this innovative platform needs.

I've written my thoughts in more depth on my new blog at http://themacweblog.com/gameloft-join-the-iphoneipod-touch-games-marketplace

Just because they can, doesn't mean they should. Rainbow Six was not meant to be played. An FPS was not made to be played on the iPhone. The iPhone is for simple games. The one that Apple demoed during its roadmap was the extent of gaming that I can see. Games that require precision are, in my opinion, pointless and unwelcome on the iPhone. Stupid idea.

@Andrew:

How's the old racism working out for you?

The world needs a bit more tolerance and a few less xenophobes like you.

I'd love a copy of "Price of Persia"! Sounds like a simulation or strategy game. I can picture it now: Do you buy Mullahs or do you build Mosques? Is that new suicide bomber squad going to be enough - or do you need long range SCUD missiles? You probably push the price of oil up by releasing press statements threatening Israel. Or is it a FPS?

so this was the gaming platform that apple pattened for?

the games are supposed to be between 5 and 15 mb. this is extremely nasty.
GL is also releasing assassin creed
