Wired's top 10 reader-approved iPhone games

Our friends at Wired recently asked their readers what their favorite iPhone games were, and their list is a pretty darn good overview of some of the best choices for gamers on the App Store. Some of the picks are already well known -- we posted about Trism way, way back, and of course Galcon has been lauded already. And some of the choices are a little wacky -- Cube Runner is cool, but it's not really much more than a tech demo at this point.

Still, there are a few gems you may not have discovered yet -- JellyCar looks like a lot of fun, and Topple did kind of get hidden underneath the shadow of ngmoco's other big release, Rolando. It's worth a try if you haven't played it yet.

It's notable, as well, that all but the top two choices are pretty simple. As fun as these games are, there's definitely a lot more room for some deeper gameplay on the App Store.

Galcon hands down! This is an awesome top ten list, you can post any top ten list to our site http://www.toptentopten.com/ and then link back to your site. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.

I beg to differ on Cube Runner.

It is a beautiful, hypnotic, and elegantly simple game, perfect for a minute or two of entertainment. You do it an injustice.

CubeRunner is much more than simply a "tech demo" -- it's the purest and most addictive of the free iPhone games.
