The Top 25 iPhone Games

IGN has sifted through the noise to bring you the definitive list of must-own iPhone games.


How hard is it to create a list of the 25 best iPhone and iPad games? Consider this: there are over 70 thousand games on the App Store in total. Over 100 new titles are released every single day.

Even after separating the wheat from the chaff, narrowing the list of greats down to 25 seemed a herculean task. There were tears. And sweat. And maybe even a little bit of blood. Many great games narrowly missed the cut, including titles like Papa Sangre, Geo Defense, Feed Me Oil, and Super Stick Man Golf.

With such a huge and diverse library of games to pull from, our top 25 probably won't look exactly like yours. But rest assured, we have played these titles enough times to drain our iPhone and iPad's batteries a hundred times over. These 25 games are among the best on the App Store, and deserve a place in everyone's game library.

Why It Made the List

Infinity Blade showcased how Epic's muscular Unreal engine could deliver a near-console clear experience on the iOS platform, and deliver it did. Chair Entertainment's behemoth of a fighting game follows the son of a son of a son of a son… who must avenge his father's death, set on infinite Groundhog's Day loop. That's to say, you keep making your way up through the same castle to confront the same God King, over and over, again, and again… (insert infinity pun here). All but perfecting the art of swipe/touch combat, Infinity Blade implements incredibly addictive and functional combat, with the dodge, parry and repost easily ranking highest in the satisfaction department. A new singleplayer campaign, The Deathless King, and the multiplayer Arena addition add to the experience, but really the whole game boils down to earning enough cash to actually buy the Infinity Blade itself.
