With the release of the iPhone has come a brand new market. IPhone applications have become the frontier of the free enterprise world with Apple resembling a syndicate with a quasi-monopoly over the entire phone application world. With this new market has come the ever-popular art of reviewing things, and iPhone app reviews have become popular on many mediums.
For good reason, more and more people are making iPhone app reviews on the Internet. Being a new market, it raises many questions from consumers who are interested in finding out more about what they are about to purchase. This is why everyone and their grandmother is reviewing applications on the iPhone. These people come from anywhere, whether it be a company, or simply someone in their room late at night. Whatever the case, there – more than likely – is not an application for the iPhone without a review, and the majority of these applications being reviewed are games.
There are many different types of applications on the iPhone, the most popular of which (for reviewing purposes) are games. There are applications that tell you what song you are listening to. There are applications that tell you show times for movies in your area. There are applications for using your phone as a flashlight. And then there are games, games, games galore.
The game market has gained size at an exponential rate, paralleled only by that of the Playstation 2 upon its release. The major difference here is that there are not cartridges, memory cards or discs involved. It is a touch screen interface and the games are stored entirely in the iPhone memory banks. The games are on the go and the graphics are dependent only on the skills of the developer.
While many games are produced by independent developers – remember, this is a free enterprise market, moderated by Apple – there are also many major game developers putting out major games for the iPhone. Generally speaking, the only differences in the games are quality and smoothness of graphics and gameplay.
Not all games are action and graphic based, though. There are many successful word games and number games that are being offered that get great reviews and make a good amount of money. In fact, most of these games are highly addicting, and their most valuable qualities are how smoothly they run without bugging.
The majority of games with advertisements, therefore, are lite versions of the game, meaning they are usually demos that tend to have advertisements, unless of course they are first person shooter type games. For this reason, many people tend to buy full versions of games, because they will not have to deal with advertisements.
