If hypothetically i could only play ONE game, damn it's difficult xD i think it would be Infinity Blade II BUT only if this has multiplayer or anything online If that supposition doesn't count, then would be Street Fighter IV Volt Battle Protocol (damn it's a long name)
Battleheart, no question. BTW, I don't consider the best game to necessarily be the one that I would keep if I could only have a single app on my device. While I do consider BH to be my favorite game, it's not like I'm going to be playing it on and off 5 years from now. On the other hand, I've been playing different versions of Bejeweled (PC/PDA/cell phone/iPhone) since who knows how long ago.
If I can only install 1 game on my iPhone, that honor belongs to Tilt to Live, greatest game in the world
Street Fighter IV Volt. The online multiplayer has me coming back time and time again since it launched last year. I probably play a match at least once a week, down from plenty a day a month or so back. To me thats good replay value. Plus Capcom provided regular updates.... but nowadays other than new tournaments, it seems the big character updates are done
TTL is a close second for me... But the one game i'd keep is Bike Baron. It's my favourite genre. With the hundred or so levels, a gazzillion fantastic user levels and a great level editor I think I could play it a reallllllly long time.
I added Street Fighter IV Volt and I hope that is the game you meant. And there was a second nomination for it in the meantime. Thanks to all for your participation. Pretty interesting, isn't it? Updated OP. I am always playing it on iPhone when the subway is overcrowded (so there is no space for iPad) almost missing the exit station because DR is so exciting. Solution: A reliable GPS based alarm app running in the background! Works in trains as well (maybe even better). One drawback. You can't play Asphalt (multiplayer or not) or almost any 3D racer in the metro (urban public transit)—at least when you love the tilt controls like me (there are other control options supported by the software). Technically you could easily establish very well a bluetooth multiplayer session; but it would be too conspicious in an electric trolleybus.
Another vote for Bug Heroes. Just one single session can last many hours, if you're good enough (I still am not, even after countless hours of playing), and there's such a huge variety of different characters/power-ups and so on.
Thanks for your nominations and votes, folks! Plausible results list already. I made use of it bought two games that I didn't have & reloaded Bug Heroes. Excellent thread thanks to tA members! Updated OP. Think carefully about the question and nominate/vote! The only one game you would keep if it has to be.
I think u should clarify whether to name ur favorite game or if u could only choose one game to play for a year. I think for most or some people that would be two different games. Though I named FFt as my choice, that was only because of the choose one game for a year thing. If it was my favorite game I'd go with battleheart... Doesn't really matter to me but I think u should clear it up for this reason.
Even though I haven't played it in a while, Solomon's Keep for the variety of character build and to me, the Diablo feel.
Extremely hard to narrow it down to one, but right now I'm totally hooked on Pocket RPG. So that gets my vote at this point. BTW, I like this thread much better than the best iOS game thread where everyone and their brother can list dozens of games if they want to. The list over there is becoming overwhelming. A condensed one vote per person thread is more handy IMO.
