How to Select an iPhone

By Dean Summerville


Though the iPhone has been among the best phones for gaming since it's earliest models, there were certain limitations on graphics, game size, etc. due to the the fact that the iPhone's processor could not handle extremely intense games. Now, though, the introduction of the iPhone 4S and iOS 5 the iPhone is an even more powerful gaming vehicle than ever.

In the world of smart phones, the iPhone is one of only a great quantity of such devices. In fact, every single cell phone company has thrown their hat in the ring in regards to creating a smart phone. When you examine what each can offer from a hardware perspective, you might not find much difference. From internet capabilities to video playback to a large touch screen, each of the available smart phones might appear the same on the surface. You would be very hard-pressed to find an iPhone user who would even give credence to the idea of switching to a smart phone from another manufacturer even though the technology is quite similar. Our next topic is to figure out why this loyalty is so hardline.

Infinity Blade 2: The previous Infinity Blade game was a smash hit on the iPhone. The second game in the Infinity Blade series released at the same time as the iPhone 4S. It was engineered to live up to the full-potential that the iPhone 4S offers with enhanced graphics and a more sophisticated overall gaming endeavor. Infinity Blade 2 has been expanded from the original game, featuring a much larger in-game world and a multitude of new weaponry. Infinity Blade 2 is arguably the most high-quality game of all the options engineered for the new iPhone 4S platform.

Dead Space: The iPhone 4S version of Dead Space is able to circumvent an issue that often plagues mobile horror titles; it was not made boring by virtue of being ported to a mobile platform. The developers for the iPhone 4S version of Dead Space are the same crew who designed the original console game; they were able to keep all of the gory, psychologically disturbing elements that made the original Dead Space such a hit. While it is decidedly not for those who shun violence and gore, Dead Space will satisfy the bloodlust of gamers who loved the original version of the game or simply enjoy a fright.

Angry Birds Rio: Though this game does not specifically utilize the new iPhone's advanced processing power, it does look great on the platform and is a light, enjoyable game. This, the latest installment in the Angry Birds franchise, proves that iPhone game development does not have to be complicated in order to be profitable.

Machination: Machination has enjoyed extreme success as a computer game, and is now available for the first time as a mobile game thanks to the new processing power of the iPhone 4S. Machination provides the user with intensely elaborate graphics and an excellent soundtrack. Furthermore, since Machination employs point-and-click gameplay, it is well-suited to the iPhone's sensitive touchscreen.

Grand Theft Auto 3: While GTA 3's intense gameplay seems better suited to a TV or computer screen, the iPhone 4S version provides a surprisingly good experience. GTA 3 effectively utilizes all of the iPhone 4S's processing power to provide users with a large, intricate in-game world; however, it is ONLY available on the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2 and does not run on other devices that support iOS 5.
