    Thank You

    As a new ipod owner this list has been a great help. I was just perusing the 'net to see what i could find out about games, and came upon this thread. I decided to download quite a few games.

    The mention of TYRIAN made me register so that i could post a comment :D

    Thank you so much Chess for starting this thread, and for all the contributing members :)

    Ok, off to play games now. I have to figure out this game centre thing, and spend hours learning all about my new iworld :)

    EDIT: Just a quick question ... does iap mean in app purchase??

    Testing:

    Vector Tanks (fun so far)
    Bumpoid
    Free to Fly (very good)
    Blork

    Couldn't find WAVE

    If Balliland goes free forever, I'll absolutely add it to the list. Good game.

    Added to OP:

    Casualties were Stone Wars and Coin Dozer.

    Will likely also add Bumpoids, which is one of the better tilt controlled games I've played, and maybe Vector Tank, which is pretty interesting but is right on the cusp in terms of pushing another game off the list. Blork is a great idea and is interesting, but I found the control deeply frustrating.

    Tilt to Fly! Free

    It crased for me as well, but it's a bug regarding iOS 4.2 and below (i think, for sure 4.1 and 4.2). They just found it and already patched it (meaning in the next update or whatever).

    While this is a pretty new game (not "older" at all), this free version of Amberground definitely deserves to be here. If it does have ads, they never appear when you're not online - I haven't seen any - and it's a great Boulder Dash-inspired game with lots of content and polish. Fun stuff! :)

    Have my eye on a couple of games that are looking like they will go permenantly free.

    Had hopes for Dark Nebula, which stayed free for a month and then went back to $.99.

    A fun little game: Idork Ultra (has advertisements).

    The ipad edition was also free a few days ago (not sure if that was just a sale or not though): idork XL (no ads in this one).

    Yep, one of the ones I was looking at.

    If true, it goes near the top of the list. I actually like it better than Angry Birds.
