    There are some great games on the iPhone/iPod Touch but out of all those games, which game offers the best online experience. There are games like iFPS online(fun gameplay but too laggy) and others like Bomber Online.

    Right now I just downloaded DinoSmash and am about to see it's online gameplay hoping it won't lag on me.

    Please post your comments. I love games that have online multiplayer and I want one with good replayability and nice performance.

    Galcon has been my all time favorite online. Simple, fast paced, easy to pick up and play.

    Second to that? Uniwar

    He meant games that are completely online with no offline play.

    If you like RPGs, I recommend CozyQuest.

    Nah, I mean games with any type of online game mode. I don't really care if the whole game isn't online. Btw can you describe CozyQuest?

    CozyQuest is a web-based RPG for the iPhone/iPod touch. Although it's still in it's early stages, it's gained quite a following from some people. The dev updates the game with new content every few days (serverside, so no need to update app).
    It's kinda grind-heavy, so keep that in mind.

    Well, if you have an iPhone (ONLY an iPhone), you can get SevenSwords Prologue. Basically, its a portable version of WoW but less to do. And....its free :)

    But dammit I dont have an iPhone :(

    Iron Sight is awesome when there are actually people online. No lag, chat, rockets, what more could you want?

    1 - iFPS - it proves online fps action is a viable iphone gaming genre...i absolutely love it, specially with improved controls on 1.1. When playing via wifi, there´s not much lag...is really really fun.

    2 - Uniwar - the way it alows us to maintain several matches going, the email notifications, etc...besides the fact the game is actually very good by itself. Perfect.

    All the polarbit games with online multiplayer are good. The only problem is that there never seem to be very many people on the servers :(

    Favorite Online Games

    My favorite all time online games are:
    1. Baseball Slugger
    2. Epic Pet Wars

    There's a lot of hype about DinoSmash but the lag is way too much for me to bear.

    iFPS wouldn't be so bad either if the lag wasn't so random.

    Baseball Slugger has definitely got it down with upgrading your character and going into match-up mode with other players. I love the fact that it's also got the picture-in-picture window which allows u to see the other players progress. Most of all: NO LAG! I played with my friend right next to me and I saw that the his swings were exactly what I saw on my screen.

    Epic Pet Wars Online def got it right with the online community building. However, it doesn't have interactive game play and 3D graphics that Baseball Slugger has.

    Uniwar is a turn-based strategy game with great multiplayer, IMHO.

    Guys and gals,

    don't forget to check out my bible of multiplayer games at http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=21760

    It's still a work-in-progress but already has a great deal of nice info and, what is more,

    - thorough (!) iPhone 3G S compliance reports
    - with lounge-based (online) games, the number of opponents you can realistically hope for
    - comparisons between titles of the same genre (e.g., bomberman etc.) - you'll hardly find anything similar in anyone else's comparable multiplayer game roundup

    etc.

    Don't forget that

    1. it's the chart ( http://winmobiletech.com/sekalaiset/iPhoneMPchart.html ) that has most the game-specific info, NOT the main article. Use Ctrl-F to quickly find your favorite game genre or title if you find the deal of information overwhelming (which it is, as I've included more than 100 games in the chart).

    2. it's a work-in-progress and I'm still adding titles, both old and new. Nevertheless, if you think a very important title is missing, let me know and I'll devote some extra time and effort to evaluate it, compare it to the alternatives (e.g., quantitive measures like the number of online players; iPhone 3G / 3G S compliance etc.) include it in the chart as soon as possible.
