Sea Battle
Developer - Rashid Nasibulin
Price - $ 0.99
Older people may remember the Soviet cinema and set them in slot machines, which could play before the session. And one of the most popular games of that time was a naval battle in which the ship had to release the torpedo.
On the iPhone display the game looks just like old times. On the screen - a periscope and a red button to launch torpedoes. Ships sailing in both directions, except for military installations to be destroyed, there are also civil court for "waterboarding" which are appointed by penalty points. Periscope management is tied to the accelerometer. Tilting the iPhone left or right, you change the coordinates of the crosshair. The game is a change of lighting, and night to get a sailing ship is much more complicated. The game is not completely annoying, and it is quite possible to spend half an hour of free time. The only drawback - when you exit your points earned are not saved, and will have to start from the beginning.
Shake nBrake

In essence this is a standard mosaic, which gives the unusual opportunity to use images from the gallery. The game is very simple - load a picture from the list of saved pictures or use a picture taken directly from a camera phone. Then double-click on the screen and the sound of glass broken picture breaks up into fragments which are shuffled in random order. In the game settings, you can choose five levels of difficulty. Depends on the level of the number of fragments into which the picture. And then the fun begins - collecting a mosaic of fragments. To facilitate the process at all angular fragments are cloves (or other figures, which are selected in the settings). With their help you can focus on the playing field. The process of collecting the mosaic is to drag the selection to the right place. Toy tightens, and break away from it is very difficult.Perfect for training intelligence and memory of the younger generation. Just do not forget to set the child right level of complexity. Otherwise the fumes may not be enough perseverance. This game - a perfect example of how you can save on the purchase of puzzles made out of cardboard. Lack of a toy is the same as that of the previous one - when leaving it unfinished picture is not saved.
Aki Mahjong
Developer - Ambrosia Software
Price - $ 0.99
Another classic card game adapted for the iPhone. Pro Mahjong and tell nothing special in this game played almost every. Feature of the version for the touch screen the iPhone is support for the accelerometer - the screen is set depending on the position of the phone. The game is accompanied by exotic music in the oriental style. It is possible that sound Chinese motifs.
On the game itself - a whole lot. Mass combinations, some of which closed earlier in the game. As the assignments of levels increases. In the game and the game menu, which is called the Information button in the lower right corner of the screen. From this menu, you can get a hint, change the difficulty level or exit the current game and try their hand again. The level of complexity, in particular, depends on time, which gives the assignment. Have missed - will have to start all over again. In general, was such a leisurely game that requires distribution of attention and the ability to isolate the figures look the same. That the choice of pairing disappear from the table.
Hanoi Plus
Developer - Ian Marsh
Price - $ 0.99 for the version Plus. Light version available for download for free.
Because today's issue of involuntarily turned on puzzles, you can not help but mention another classic game on the theme of "wolf, a goat and a cabbage." Only transport from one bank to another will have a coin. The rules are simple - value is the diameter. With each assignment is the number of coins in the pile grows. Drag the coin with your finger, trying to meet the minimum number of moves. Already played enough plenty in this game, I was surprised to find that the bottom screen displays the minimum possible number of moves to move the entire stack. And sadly noted that my results are very different from optimal for the worse.So this game - a good opportunity to arrange a competition on the combinatorics and the solution with minimal number of moves.
Everything described in this review allow the game to train the mind and dexterity with colleagues or just relax. Moreover, they are ideal for a relaxing pastime on weekends. If you need an adrenaline dope, you have to choose a toy that requires more active participation in the gameplay. Those games will be devoted to the next issue.
PS Sooner or later every iPhone-gamers will notice that the new toys run on outdated firmware refuse. Hence those who have second-generation iPhone, do not avoid the process of unlocking and jailbreaking. Members formally acquired in Russia, iPhone-s can update the firmware quietly, they do not threaten our difficulties, and I envy them (smiley).
