But Trism by Demiforce, LLC, does have its unique aspects, allowing it to stand apart from these staples and create a new name for itself, namely due to its excellent utilization of the iPhone's accelerometer.
Trism requires ...

Another game that I've had since launch is Spinner Prologue. This is another game that is played using only the accelerometer. Essentially this is simply a set of mazes that you must navigate your way through. However, rather than controlling the arrow, it moves in a single direction and you must rotate the maze in order to lead it to ...

One of my favorite games that I've played since I picked up the iPhone has got to be Cube Runner. It is a very simple game in which you use the accelerometer to control a ship and navigate through a series of blocks.

Okay people. I admit it. I'm obsessed. Not only has downloading iPhone Apps become a favorite pastime, I also can't stop playing Aurora Feint. This game was a free app and I was blown away. I mean, for a free application, this game has great graphics, sound and game play.

Everyone that knows me is aware that I'm addicted to games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band. It's only natural that I would be drawn to the game Tap Tap Revenge for the iPhone. It's a relatively simple concept, much the same as either of the two rhythm games I mentioned. You've got orbs that come down your screen that ...
