    Hi guys!

    I just got an iPhone 4, and have gotten a great slew of games for it. I'm a hardcore gamer, but I appreciate creativity, nice art and good controls on iOS games.

    I've seen a lot of beautiful, fun looking games lately for these devices but I don't know their names!

    I got:

    Mushihime Bug Panic (love it)!
    Pix'n Rush (love it)!
    Espgaluda 2
    Broken Sword
    Doodle Jump
    Angry Birds
    Mirror's Edge
    Across Edge
    Time Geeks

    Please recommend me some good, artsy fun games! (I've already skimmed through the reviews on the site!)

    Thanks!

    Hardcore + nice art? Silverfish & Spirit fit the bill, though I may be a tad biased :D

    +1 for cut the rope, it's amazingly addictive trying to get all the stars in every level, if you're looking for something with wow factor then infinity blade is released tomorrow/next day (depending on territory) and looks graphically astounding for a game on a phone.

    I’ll suggest Chop Sushi. I don’t care about sushi, matching games, or turn-based combat, and it doesn’t have retina graphics (though it’s a case where you’ll hardly notice).

    And yet somehow I couldn’t put it down until I’d beaten every enemy! The game mechanic is unique (more strategic than “match 3”) and the art/music is great.

    And for retina graphics, check out geoDefense. More action-oriented than normal TD... and hard!

    EDIT: How could I forget Helsing’s Fire? Beautiful, fun, original, and retina-sharp!
