Admittedly, we have been a bit slow to post about the new 3D console games that are coming for iPhone, They were, after all, announced a couple of weeks ago at the Apple SDK event. But we were not happy with the tiny demo version that is the only one on show across the internet! So we ramped it up for you!!

.

Ain’t it spectacular!

As you can see these are a big and exciting improvement on the type of game that is going to be available for iPhone. To quote Simon Jeffery from Sega “this is not a cell phone game this is a full console game”

You can also see iPhonegizmo’s ramped up version of the Spore demo on YouTube

Both games use the iPhone’s accelerometer to move the hero around -which looks to give it a Wii type of experience. The touch facility is also incorporated in Spore to build the characters form and hunting/defensive capabilities.

Sega and EA have been the ground breakers but other companies are bound to get excited now that they can see what can be achieved.

BTW, at the SDK event more than just exciting new games were revealed. Although most of what went on is of little direct interest to iPhone users it definitely will have a big impact on us in the near future. Apple has now put out a beta version of an iPhone SDK, or software development kit, which will allow, finally, third-party programmers to create applications for the iPhone.

So What??

In June the new software will be made available for all iPhones for free.

That means, for example - that Firefox - if they develop suitable software and if Apple approves it - will be available for iPhone. And some punters have predicted perhaps Skype (?? though iPhonegizmo will go on record as being doubtful about that!!). We will keep you posted on what goodies get made available (especially the free stuff!)

There are three ways to get iphone games:

1) Hunt around the internet for sites that have some (usually only a few) iphone games that they provide for free. iPhonegizmo liked the range of games offered by mynumo.com. These include carmadillo mentioned in a previous post and a dozen other games

We also liked digiwidge.com - even though they only offer a few games they have excellent graphics and are a bit different

2) Hunt around the internet for sites that sell iPhone games (these can be hard to find). By far the best site we found is igiki.com.

These cost $2.99 a game which gives you access to a game for varying time periods (maximum of 180 days). That may well be enough time for you to get sick of the game, anyway!

3) Use subscription sites where you pay a fee and then can download a large selection of games. There are a range of sites that offer different subscription options. iPhonegizmo recommends the pay-once-to-join option as this works out to be the

cheapest membership option (and also works out cheaper than buying one game at a time).
The best site membership site iPhonegizmo found was iphone-magic. This site offers over a hundred iPhone games which works out at around .40 cents a game - BUT you then can also download all the music, TV shows and movies you want - essentially for free (after all you joined for the iPhone games, right?) There are some more serious games on offer here including iphone poker!

But, be warned - iPhone games can be addictive!

If you are looking for something a bit different then you might try this iphone game that iPhonegizmo found!

Some may find it disturbing! Some may find it downright scary!

Others may find it connects to something deep in their soul …

Because here is where you get to “assassinate” other iPhone users!!

Well…..If nothing else it may be the best excuse you have to meet that cute gal or guy that travels on the same commuter transport as you do (so long as they also have an iPhone!!)

iPhonegizmo discovered that this is just one of a hundred or more games that iphone users can play if they join the right download site. We will be doing a review of download sites so wait for more news on where to get these great games.

After many cans of Redbull, JTAG and his crew have done the first physical iPhone unlock.

It required many hours of soldering and technical work, but after many hours of problem solving they have done it!

Wow!

That didn’t take very long - did it?

Only one month or so after the iPhone was released, they successfully unlocked it from AT&T so you can use it with any carrier you choose.

No crazy contracts or anything like that.

Which is a relief to quite a few readers who were concerned about the expensive extended contract you were previously locked into when you bought an iPhone.

Also check out the latest games by Macmost.

A month ago we posted about the first games that macmost had developed for iphone = now they have made more free games for your iphone. Check out the video where they show you how!

That’s right!

Thanks to the developers over at Google code, you can now get super mario on the iPhone.

Which is very cool.

Personally I can’t wait to see what other games get released for my iPhone. Mario is a true classic Old school arcade games will NEVER go out of style!
