    I'm surprised this isn't on the list - it's a novel puzzle game that works very well indeed on the iPhone.

    DoodleJump

    Invented a whole genre, and was the top selling game for ages for a good reason. Still near the top of the hitlist now. Pure casual gaming crack.

    Worms iPhone

    A great list, but...

    C'mon, the olde favourite that started life on the 16bit systems, updated time and time again. A childhood wonder of a game, spent countless hours in front of, alongside similar titles like lemmings.

    Now available in your pocket.

    Sure the iPhone version got bad reviews, but I think they've corrected a lot of them since the reviews.

    Plus some of the control anomalies are easily remedied provided you actually follow the instructions and directly tap on the worm to make him jump forward.

    Hopefuly we'll see a new version for the iPad, due to the iPhones small screen making zooming in and out a regular necessity. The iPad should completely alleviate this.

    The single player campaigns are pretty long too, I'm still going from level 33 with no end in sight!

    3Gs specific enhancements too mean it can't be beat.

    Name or title of what you are suggesting

    How dare you.

    You didn't read my mind and make your 10 favs the same as mine.

    It's a fcuking outrage.

    Fieldrunners

    How can this be a complete list without including fieldrunners?

    I bought this app over a year ago and I still spend a good few hours playing it each day!

    Absolute quality!
