iPhone Game Screenshots: ESPN Cameraman

ESPN Cameraman is an interesting spot the difference game using some great sport photos. It is pretty fun and does have replay value. Best of all it is a free iPhone game. Click the thumbnails below to see a larger version of the screenshots.

Nintendo Wii Screenshots: Wario Land Shake It

Wario Land Shake It is an interesting adventure game for the Wii, but I do not like that it uses the sideway style of control. Also, it confused me too much. I did get through the tutorial level, but the second level I could not get anywhere in. Click the thumbnails below to see a larger version of the screenshots.

iPhone Game Screenshots: Flick Football

This is a paper football style game that I think only has a free version. The controls work pretty well and it is certainly not as easy as it seems, as you have to be careful to not hit the football to hard when flicking it for a touchdown. I am not much into football, so I got rid of it after trying, but it was worth playing for about 15 minutes and I imagine it could be way more fun with two players and/or at least if you are a football fan.

Nintendo DS Screenshots: Backyard Baseball 09

Backyard Baseball 09 is okay on the Wii, but it is even worse on the DS. The biggest thing is that it does not have very many major league players including none from my favorite team, Washington Nationals, nor my brother's favorite team, Arizona Diamondbacks. The controls are a little non responsive as well. Honestly the Backyard games besides Backyard Football on the Wii have been disappointments for me when not played on the computer. They just are ports and not built from the ground up for the specific systems and end up being let downs. Click the thumbnails below to see a larger version of the screenshots.

iPhone Game Screenshots: iBowl

iBowl is a game that seems to have its free version as the full version. Sure it is not much, but it is still kind of interesting to play. It is kind of like Wii bowling, but without the strap it is kind of scary to play with the iPhone. I have only played it so that I am sure if it falls it will be landing on something soft (i.e. my couch, bed, or carpet). Certainly not a game for every situation unless you are not as scared about dropping and damaging your phone. Not to mention the pin action aspect does not feel realistic and it also does not seem to be as accurate on recognizing a curve as the Wii bowling, but it is interesting for a phone game. Sorry about the ringer thing, but my phone seems to mostly decide that I am pushing that button when I press the two other buttons on the phone to take the screenshot.
