How to find the App Store Games For Your Iphone

It's not always easy to find the best games available for the iPhone in the App Store, especially with many of them costing upwards of $4.99 and no demo versions available. This article isn't going to describe specific apps, rather it will outline a few ways that can help you determine what types of apps you would enjoy the most.

So - if you're at a loss when it comes to finding the best iPhone Games for you, the first place to start is to make a list of what apps you currently own and enjoy. Write down their titles in one column. Then describe these games' categories on another column. Were they Shooters? Mini-Games? Sports? Puzzles? This step will help you determine exactly what types of games that you enjoyed - being clear on which apps you actually like is half the battle.

Next it's time to do some searching. Go to the app store and start searching for the categories that you determined to be your favorite. In the iTunes search box, search for "puzzle game" for example or "soccer game" and browse the results. Look at the screenshots and user reviews to get an initial feel for the game and try to find one that seems to fit what you know you like.
Now - how can you be sure which apps are truly the best for you? Just from the screenshots and user reviews it's often hard to tell. This is when it's good to search Google for the apps: " [App Title} Review" and read the first few results. Chances are there is already a few reviews online of this app which will provide much more in-depth details on the game. Also, on the app's page within the app store, check out the bottom right corner for the developer's website, there might be videos and more in this area.

Finally, this process can be made easier by searching for reviews online (some sites even include video demos) or visiting forums and message boards dedicated to the iPhone and iPod Touch. Also, the newest version of the iPhone software includes a "genius" feature that will help you find other apps similar to those you have previously purchased.

While it's not always easy to locate iphone games that you know you'll enjoy, following the tips laid out above can make the process much easier and can help you spend less time stressing out over which apps to buy and more time actually enjoying them.
