Purchased Gomi and the NFL game.
I'll post some more detailed impressions tomorrow as I'm heading off to bed.
I didn't get a chance to play any Gomi but I was able to play a quarter of the NFL game. Surpisingly it wasn't as awful as I thought it was going to be. :lol
I mean I only bought it because I'm a big football fan so I can always get some enjoyment out of a football game but it actually reminds me of sort of that later era PS1 madden style football games which isn't bad. It has these slow mo moments where the game slows down which sort of helps with the control. It's only a quarter so those aren't real impressions but it was a bit better than I was expecting I'll admit although my expectations were really low.
It has a season mode but no franchise mode.

Thanks for the notes on iFist, Anachronus! Definitely very helpful!
Yeah we are psyched to be getting some feedback on our app, which can be tough these days when so may things release all at once. If anyone else wants to have a go at tearing it apart then please do so. I can drop another code if someone is particularly into it - in the meantime, HcG are busy working on our second game, which will be a good bit higher-profile now that our freshman effort is out the door..
Depends if you meant the tilt control or the performance. I think the control was tweaked a bit but in general I think it's still something you get used to or not. As for performance it still blows afaik...unless you're on a 3GS! Don't have one myself but I've heard it runs around 30fps on it.Vyer said:

But it makes you awesome.
No really. It does
Looks like Simon the Sorcerer is out for the iPhone. Any impressions on how it was ported?

Agreed.
Imagine a sandwich of Ikaruga and Rez. With Cocaine.
Thats Space Invaders: Infinity Gene to me.
All you people who haven't bought SIIG are basically committing heresy against your oath of honor taken when you first discovered the App Store. The Church hereby excommunicates all whom have not yet bought Space Invaders Infinity Gene and will remain barred until further notice and proof of the said persons' engagement in the consumption of the megabytes owned by the mighty Taito Corp.

http://toucharcade.com/2009/08/06/highly-rated-rally-master-pro-coming-to-iphone/#comments
This game looks visually appealing. Real Racing has spoilt me with cockpit view so I hope they add something like that.Fish Labs announced that they are working on porting the highly rated mobile game Rally Master Pro to the iPhone. Rally Master Pro was even named to be the Best Mobile Game of 2008 based on a aggregate of game review scores compiled by Pocket Gamer.
Fish Labs reports they are bringing the title to the iPhone and iPod Touch "in the autumn" with "revved up rally graphics". All the 3D models and textures have been enhanced with a 4x increase in polygons over the Java/mobile version.
The game comes with enhanced particle effects and dynamic lighting:
Depending on the track surface and weather, a variety of dust, spray, and even dirt particles will be generated for each individual tire. The various kinds of particles act quite differently. On dry, dusty tracks the car leaves a massive cloud of dust while racing through a forest on a rainy day you can literrally see the mud flying.
.
Thanks to the high-powered 3D chips (OpenGL graphics acceleration) in the iPhone, we can light the vehicle in a variety of ways, depending on the weather: with lots of light and shadows when its sunny, diffuse when the sky is overcast, and correspondingly dim in rain and storm.
The game will include 27 courses and weather effects for sun, rain, and snow.

Space Invaders Infinity Gene is the best Shmup on Iphone. I also strongly suggest Blue Defense as a fun, great looking and playing tilt based shooter.Tokubetsu said:

Looks like its ported using the same engine that Flight of the Amazon Queen runs on, and by the same company - iPhsoft. It lets you control using direct touch method with floating rectangle above your finger, and also a 'classic' method that moves arrow like with touchpad, employed by Monkey Island SE.

My 3GS arrives tomorrow,What are some good point and click games I should grab and any other unmissable games I should need to acquire would be appreciated.
Also how versatile is the store when searching for games and can you narrow searches down by including variables?(price,rating,genre)

If you haven't played it so far then I would seriously recommend Monkey Island. It is excellent. Other noticeable point and click titles include Myst, Jules Verne's Return to Mysterious Island and Flight of the Amazon Queen. Although it's not out yet Beneath a Steel Sky: Remastered is coming to the IPhone soon.DOBERMAN INC said:

Just completed Dungeon Scroll on normal difficulty. Currently #43 on the leaderboards. 
What a pleasant game, very fun for $1. My favorite part was when it started raining rats. I wasn't sure what was happening, I tried touching some of them, but I don't think that did anything. :lol

Man... we're getting so close to releasing our first game, but there are so many hoops to jump through... Apple doesn't outline the whole process for you at all, so you don't know what they need from you until you get there.

This game is all out awesome. One of my favorites on the App Store by far. Of course it probably helps I am from the era of RPG's it's catering to and of Bookworm as well...But the subtle strategy that is required to beat some of these enemies is a lot deeper than you would think.
Best use of $.99 cents I've spent all month.
I've found myself deleting most games left and right but this one is a keeper...It has totally sucked me in.

Isn't Simon the Sorcerer an oft-laughed about series?
Certainly cannot stand up to the might that is Monkey Island.

Yeah, it's working maybe 1/20 of the time right now for me, and even then it's only the search function, not my Favorites list.lawblob said:

radiantdreamer the iPhone dev process is not too bad. just hang out and follow tips from other guys (touchArcade dev area is pretty friendly) and people will generally give you a hand in getting on your way with that all-important 1st release (and then, once it's in submission, you just waiiit!)
interested to see what you are up to, do you guys have a WIP site or something?
