I’ve downloaded my fair share of iPhone games in the 12mths I’ve had my iPhone 3g (both free and paid) and I’ve come to the conclusion that being in the ‘Top 25″ of iTunes means absolutly jack. Popular does not mean good.

So to save you a few bucks on buying a crappy game, and also hopefully give some developers a bit of exposure I thought I’d do a quick run down on games I actually play and recommend.

StoneLoops of Jurassica

This game is like crack, and if you have an xbox 360 you’ve probebly played something similar (Sorry forgot what its called on that, just remember playing it on a friends system..)

Check out this demo video on YouTube to get an idea of what the gameplays like, then go get it !

Peggle

Now this is a game that I think was origanlly released on the PC, which has made its way to the iPhone. It’s another puzzle game actually – the aim is to shoot a ball at orange pegs until you have hit them all. Sounds boring right, well check out the video below and you’ll get an idea of how addictive this can actually be.

That’s it…

Huh i hear you say? 2 games is all you play? Yep. I’ve downloaded 100′s and these are the only 2 that have stuck and I would actually recommend people pay for.. the vast, VAST majority of games on the iPhone are shit.

Just my 2 cents.

If you’re still using Bittorrent or LimeWire to download files from the internet then what I’m about to tell you is going to blow your mind.

What if I told you there was a way to download all of the files you want without waiting and while maxing out your internet connection speed? There is. It’s called Easynews.

Easynews is whats called a “Newsgroup Provider”. If you want to find out more about what that is I suggest you use google, because I’m just going to cut straight to the chase here..

Using Easynews, and a feature called “Easynews Global Search” you can search for and download media right in your browser – thats right no clients. All of your download links are HTTP inks .

Step by Step Easynews Global Search Guide

Step 1. Sign up for Easynews – Plans start at $9.98 per month

Step 2. Launch the Web based ‘Easynews Global Search’ client and search for what you want to download.

Step 3. Review the Easynews Global Search results – You can even get a thumnail if it’s a movie, or a preview button if its a song.

Step 4. Click ‘Thumb’ in the search results to view a thumbnail preview

Step 5. Once you’ve found the file you want, just click the hyperlinked file name to start the HTTP Download

Thats it! There are some more advanced options such as restricting the size to narrow results, using the Zip Manager to collect many files together into 1 download (Good for downloads with many parts).

Now go and sign up for Easynews now!
