Having just brought the new iPhone 3G model, I felt compelled to try out some free games.

While most games will cost you a few pretty pennies, this game is free and is pretty fun to play. The game is your basic match like pieces game with a twist. You gain new skills and abilities by beating the game.

I can’t really say how much the game will change over time as this is just an intro game to future game developments for the game and is offered free to boot.

I found the graphics introduction to be of a high quality you would expect from some of the top notch game makers and believe this game will get better with time.

The one fault that I seem to have with this game is that it is a large game, by that I mean the game is a large file to download, takes about 30 seconds to load and run, and every now and then, I have a memory low issue while playing the game.

The game is great enough to save the game and let you know that the “memory low” issue has occurred and advices you to power off the iPhone and turn it back on to play the game from where you left off.

Maybe the memory low issue is just something that has happened to me only, but I will have to assume that it is effecting other users as well.

I say the game is still worth a look and damn well fun to play. Give it a try.

You can download the game from the App Store on your iPhone.

You’ve ran a million miles trying to jog away the excess fat from your body and you need a break. You’re tired and you’ve seen all the videos and listened to all the music on your iPod.

Its time to Peggle your way on your iPod!

You fire off your metallic silver ball from the top of your screen and let it bounce off of the orange and blue “pegs”. Clear all the orange “pegs” before you run out of balls.

Peggle offers 55 levels and available help from 10 teachers that guide you when you need help.

What Peggle offers:

• 55 levels and 10 magic powers.
• 75 Grand Master challanges.
• Play friends on the computer in dual mode.
• Save and replay your hottest shots.

The iPod version is available on the iTunes store for $4.99 and is available in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish.

PopCap Games has utilized iPod’s clickwheel and it’s high-res display. The iPod version allows you to listen to your own personal music from your playlist while playing the game.

“The clickwheel input of the iPod is a natural fit for controlling Peggle, so we knew this adaptation of the game would be amazing,” said Jason Kapalka, co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of PopCap. “And with the Duel Mode included, two players can pass the iPod back and forth while battling their way to Extreme Fever!”

Peggle is similar to another game where you bounce a ball and get rid of bricks but the co-founder of PopCap has a different opinion.  “But nobody can really be told what Peggle is like,” said Kapalka, “you just have to play it for yourself.”

Ojom Gmbh is releasing their game “Maya - Temple of Secrets” a puzzle game for the iPhone.

The adapted game will work with iPhones ability to drag, drop and twist to play the puzzle game.

The story behind the Maya game is that you must find a number of ‘golden artefacts’ that will hold the key to opening the secrets of the Temple of Mysteries.

Thomas Brockhage, General Manager of Ojom GmbH, said: “This is a great opportunity for Ojom to show that we can adapt and innovate to suit new technologies. Maya was one of our most popular games and is perfect for the iPhone’s touch sensitive screen. We are proud to release our first game specifically adapted for the iPhone.”

Maya players can play through the integrated Safari browser and free for iPhone users. European players can play it online or on their iPhone via Jamba or Jamster.
