Default iThing Game recommendations

Lately I have been super busy. As a result I have been playing more iPhone games than console/hand-held. Crazy times I know.

So...fellow iPhone/touch lovers, recommend me some games!

I currently have:
Aurora: The beginning (puzzle game/RPG)
Geo Defense (Tower Defense meets Geometry Wars)
Word Fu (Word Boggle)
Rolando (LocoRoco clone - but better)
TapDefense (tower defense)
Topple (...tetris in reverse)
Mazefinger
Galcon (...hard to explain but the best sound effects EVAR!)
Dr Awesome (like xonix/qix)
Tap Tap Revenge 2 (guitar hero)

Let me know what you play

I love tower defense games. I have heard field runners is good, but i am currently hanging out for this one:

FiveDice.

That and "black and white" (othello) are pretty much the only thing with control schemes that actually work.

Space dead beef is a good enough side scrolling shooter.

Doesn't this topic show up like every second week?

The Creeps is a great TD game. It's got good style, but it's pretty short on standard playthrough.

Zen Bound is brilliant, art direction graphics and atmosphere is amazing.

Touchgrind is a great fingerboarding sim.

Mines in Space is a good minesweeper game I play often, had some interesting puzzles and modes.

Warfare Inc. is a solid red-alert style rts.

Payback is a top-down 3D GTA clone that is pretty sweet.

Eliss is a choice multi-touch puzzler that does your head in, I got it recently and it's tough but a really great concept.

Puzzle Quest is a good one too if you don't already have it.

iDracula is good value shooter which has a geometry wars style gameplay with a fun perks and weapon system.

so many cool games... never though the iphone would be relevant to gaming talk.

very keen to get zen bound...

I just realised that they released more free levels for Rolando. That game is awesome.

Why the fuck is there no peggle?
