If you download Final Fantasy I expecting a lively, modern RPG, then you'll waste $8.99. This is a remake of a classic that deviates only in appearances, not in spirit. The upgraded visuals are attractive (though not as much as the refreshed Final Fantasy II) and the remixed music sounds great. But the touchscreen controls mixed with the slower pace of a classic RPG may turn off gamers that don’t appreciate the curve that takes us from Final Fantasy I to newer games, such as Zenonia.
I thought only console players saw their triple-A games bunched up in the fourth quarter of the year, but it seems the App Store is enjoying a similar bounty in 2009. Hands down the best iPhone racer since Real Racing, Need for Speed Shift offers a superlative single-player career that will keep your hands glued to your iPhone for hours. As somebody that is still enjoying Shift on the Xbox 360, seeing such a strong translation to the iPhone is exceedingly heartening. Well done.
