Random Rambling – Randling if you like
I recently downloaded two very different games for the iPhone - "Rage" and "Mr. AahH!". One is a graphical masterpiece that breaks new ground for gaming on a mobile phone and the other features a stick-man swinging from a line onto crude rainbow-coloured towers. Oddly, both are enjoyable.
Pool Pro Online is free for today only. It's available for iPhone and iPad and is actually very good.

This looks like a great iPhone/iPod Touch game, coming soon from Shaun Inman. Do want. Power-ups affect the playing world rather than the main character, upgrading it from 8-bit to 16-bit, etc. Nice concept. Take a look at the work in progress video.
I had Orbital brought to my attention by Elliot Jay Stocks on Twitter. It’s not often people say that something is their “absolute favourite iPhone app”. Orbital is a simple puzzle game in the same vein as Puzzle Bobble - and it’s very addictive. It’s only £0.59 (US $0.99) and it’s worth every penny in my book. As you can see from my high score above (14), I’ve got quite a bit of work to do. But, with Facebook integration you can compete against your friends if they also have the app installed - so that should motivate me to do a bit better.
