Electronic Arts is a game developer that has released over 40 games for the iPhone with great success. They were in at the launch of the iPhone with Spore:

(Spore original – now free – has been rated by a massive 130,000+ users at 3.5 stars)
And they have done so well that Apple invited them back to be one of three game developers to do a presentation at the recent iPad release as well! (And, of course, they used Need For Speed – one of their most downloaded games – to show us just how good games will be on the new platform)
And they are a generous company – at least where potential iPhone and other mobile users are concerned. Of the 38 EA iPhone games that have a price tag there are also free (basically demo) versions of eight of those games as well. Not enough, you reckon?
Well, we have some good news for you. The iphonegizmo team have discovered a free demo game player where we can try out the demo version of another 12 of the EA iPhone games, including: Need For Speed™ Undercover, American Idol: The Game, Clue, Madden NFL 10, Scrabble, The Sims 3, Star Trek, Tetris, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR, Wolfenstein RPG, and Yahtzee. As you can see in the following image, the screen for the demo is smaller than the iPhone screen – and the accelerometer feature is not available.
But, as many of the games in this list are in the top price bracket for EA games – we figure its definitely worth it to trial the game first. So we are pretty pleased with ourselves for finding a way to help you all to do that.
