Flame Keeper instal the new version for ipod

For iOS, I prefer not to use a gamepad the whole idea of an iOS game is a gaming-to-go experience, and I don't want to carry a gamepad around with me.

Of course, all rules have exceptions, so there may be some in my list.

As a general rule, I do not play these genres of games: Fighting games, endless runner games, real time strategy games, sports team management simulations, games that rely on perfectly-timed reflex actions, 'hold a conversation' games, and tower defense games.

However, if the game has a backstory that requires 10 minutes to read or tap through-even one time-then it's not a game I'm going to keep.

Rule One does not preclude long-duration games-be they adventure, exploration, or puzzle solving games.

My iOS device isn't a console or a PC or a Mac, it's a device that I may only have a few minutes to use, and I'm just looking for something enjoyable to do during that time.

My main requirement is this: I want an iOS game to be quick to load and start playing the first time I try it.

With that in mind, here are the rules I applied to this collection of 139 games… Obviously, my conclusions on these games are based on what I find enjoyable in a game-even more particularly, in an iOS game. For most of them, in fact, I can provide only a passing first impression based on my one-time testing of each game. I am not going to begin to pretend I will post a full review of each of these games.

Part Five The second half of my set of definite keeper games, including my two favorites.

Part Four: The first half of my set of definite keeper games.

Part Three: A slightly deeper look at the second half of the games I felt merited additional time for playing and testing.

Part Two: A slightly deeper look at the first half of the games I felt merited additional time for playing and testing.

Part One: The part you're reading now, it covers what I look for in games, some general observations on the games in the Arcade, and the lengthy list of games that didn't make my first cut.

Here's what's in each part of the series:

And what better way to do that than by playing everything they offer? So over the last few days, I have downloaded, launched, played a bit of, taken some very brief notes on, and (in most cases) deleted a total of 139 141 * Two more games were released during the writeup of this series. I thought if I'm going to trial it, I should really trial it. My new iPad Air came with a surprise (at least, to me): A three-month trial to Apple Arcade.
