While some may dismiss Gameloft’s Zombie Infection as simply a Resident Evil 4 knock-off due to its’ third-person over-the-shoulder aiming and location based damage, I found it to be one of Gameloft’s more enjoyable single-player experiences and for .99 provides more gameplay and fun than 90% of the zombie drool oozing from the app store every week.

Dinosaurs have stomped onto your iDevice in Carnivores - Dinosaur Hunter by Tatem Games.  In this port of Carnivores 2 you get to stalk 9 prehistoric mammals in 5 amazing open-world environments with your choice of  6 weapons.  Just be careful or YOU may become the hunted!

Brothers in Arms 2: Global Front by Gameloft does a nice job of combining first-person run-and-gun action with the third-person cover system of its predecessor Hour of Heroes to give you the best of both shooter worlds if you can overcome the frustration of some horrible jeep driving sequences.

Gameloft never tries to reinvent the wheel.  What they do, and they do it very well, is to bring inspired clones or ports of successful games from other platforms onto the Idevice.  In N.O.V.A. they deliver a striking Halo inspired FPS that should appeal to that large fan base.

Call of Duty World at War - Zombies by Activision and Treyarch packs more intensity, gore, tension and body parts into one level than I’d ever thought I’d see on a mobile phone.  COD Zombies traps you in a thoroughly convincing 2-story Nazi bunker called Nacht der Untoten lifted directly from the zombie mode of the console blockbuster Call of Duty - World at War and lets you have at it with an onslaught of zombies on your handheld whenever and wherever the mood strikes.

The Gameloft juggernaut has rocked the Iphone with the release of two genre-busting bombs within the span of two weeks.  First with the open-world of Gangster and now with the FPS Modern Combat Sandstorm they’ve forever changed the landscape of  3D gaming on the Iphone.

While we all knew it was coming, the wait for the first next-gen FPS for the Iphone has been a long one.  Whether or not Modern Combat is the holy grail is debatable and unresolved until Gameloft releases the promised multiplayer but they’ve certainly cleared the way with an explosive air strike of graphics, control, sound and action that will stand as a landmark in Iphone gaming.
