One of the iPhone�s most revolutionary features is its large library of instantly accessible free games.
The question is whether any are worth your time. To find out, I thought I�d put the App Store to the test by downloading the top 10 free titles from the �All Games� category (based on number of recent downloads as of July 17, 2009), and playing each one for as long as it held my attention. The only caveat was a 15-minute time limit for each game. If a free game holds your attention for at least 15 minutes, that�s good.
1. �Wooden Labyrinth 3D Lite�
I had a love/hate relationship with my old tabletop Labyrinth game as a kid. I loved the concept, but I hated how much I sucked at manipulating those little knobs to guide the ball past the holes. The iPhone version, with its simple tilt controls, makes things more enjoyable. I�m surprised how accurate and realistic the physics are, and I love the way the 3-D perspective shifts as you tilt the unit, making the screen feel like a window into an alternate world. The randomly generated levels in this �lite� version are hit-or-miss, but the variable difficulty ensures lot of replay value.
