23 console games on the iPhone

A look at 26 different titles on the iPhone that gamers would consider "real" video games. Familiar franchises and known names that are a little more than the usual casual fare

18 Rock Band



With three different releases in Tapulous' Tap Tap series already available and selling well on the App Store, it wasn't apparent whether or not EA's Rock Band could break into an already loaded market. Surprisingly, EA hit hard with the iPhone adaptation of their music franchise, crafting it into one of the best music games on the App Store. Much like in the Tap Tap games, all four of Rock Band's selectable instruments are "played" by tapping corresponding virtual buttons as notes scroll down from the top of the screen. The game is aesthetically identical to the console versions, and there's even an in-game music store to purchase additional tracks from if the 26 included songs don't quite satisfy your hunger for more Rock Band.
