    I haven't found a good way of organizing my games on my iPhone. Are there any good ways that anyone knows of?

    I do it by genre (platformers, adventures, arcade, action, JRPG, WRPG, etc.). That way it's easy to find the kind of game I'm in the mood to play.

    I do keep brand new games outside of folders for a little while, though.

    I divided them in two pages:

    One is full of games that have an ending and are level based
    The other is full of my favorite genre: endless runners

    :D

    Yeah, I keep my new games outside of my folders for a while too.

    Another problem I have is that I have trouble categorizing games. Any suggestions?

    One full page with my favorite runners, then another page with folders by genre.

    I have my current go to game on my first page homescreen. Then quick play games in a folder on the first page, and longer in depth games in a folder on my second homescreen page.

    Alphabetical order. It helps me find specific apps

    I used to have an intricate system to arrange my game apps. Now I just keep the few I actively play and delete the rest, except for those with savegames I want to keep.

    Just one folder, and all in alphabetical order, with games in numerical going at the beginning.

    I actually organize my games by icon, sometimes color. So knights with knights, zombies with zombies etc. And because I'm weird I like my icons facing the center of my iPad. I hate it when characters are looking "out" of my screen. Obviously it's not very efficient.

    I do the same thing. Keep 'em in folders by genre and keep some out for awhile.:D

    Got five folders: Puzzle, Arcade, Platformers, Other, Best

    Best is where my all-time favorites as well as my newest games go.
    The games I'm currently playing often stay on my main screen for quick access

    Cos you like so many runners that it's impossible to choose which keep?

    I download games in bulk a lot, so I'll group those together usually. Then I fave two files for favorites

    In order of how often I use them, so if I buy a new app it will go to the front and overtime as I play them less and less they slip further away sort of like a 'current top 10' and then after a while delete the unused games
