Games 1. When it comes to the number of average other online players, it's by far the best. In addition, according to some pool buffs, it has an excellent pool engine — much better than anything else on the market.
NanoMechs by Theorian 1. Armageddon Squadron by Polarbit 1. IMHO, F. Fleet Air Superiority Training! It has, generally, far more online players. Also, now , it's way cheaper.
Ace Tennis Online by Eurocenter 1. I also plan to write a more thorough elaboration on the different networking models of multiplayer games. Just like the one in my Windows Mobile multiplayer bible. Which is a must with the pre-OS3 form of Wi-Fi only, local multiplayer. This is especially useful in vehicles, schools without a public Wi-Fi network where the two of you can connect to at the same time etc.
The disadvantages of this solution are as follows: a. At times, you may have to disable Wi-Fi for Bluetooth to work better and vice versa, particularly on the 3G S, where disabling Bluetooth altogether may result in significant Wi-Fi connection speed increase. BT gaming has only been introduced in OS 3. As opposed to the BT approach explained in the previous bullet, it works on even OS 2. The advantages are as follows: a. If you use a more popular game with more online players e.
Note that you can play your local buddies too, even if both of you are connected to the same Wi-Fi access point. This needs to be kept in mind when playing a game only offering remote lounge -based play but not local Wi-Fi or Bluetooth one.
With most titles, manual opponent selection is possible. With the rest [that is, games not offering manual opponent selection but using automatic matching instead], you can still make sure the both of you join the multiplayer server at about the same time to maximize the chances of the server matching the two of you.
The inherent disadvantages of this approach are as follows: a. Developers may exit developing and even supporting their existing games, including running their proprietary servers. This is why few for example first person shooters or racing games support internet lounge-based play — most of them are Wi-Fi or, lately, BT only — with them, even ms lag can result in a totally unplayable game.
No such problems exist with less demanding game genres like board games chess and the like. The three approaches explained so far also involve auto-discovery. That is, the two or more phones iDevices magically and automatically find each other. Physically, this is done by for example using broadcast discovery protocols over Wi-Fi and the inherent discovery mechanisms built into Bluetooth. And one of them, namely, Quartz 2, mandates you to do so.
I've posted the following to the existing TouchArcade threads discussing MP games. It has a lot of additional info you may find useful. Guys and gals, don't forget to check out my bible of multiplayer games. It's still a work-in-progress but already has a great deal of nice info and, what is more, - thorough!
Don't forget that 1. Use Ctrl-F to quickly find your favorite game genre or title if you find the deal of information overwhelming which it is, as I've included more than games in the chart.
Nevertheless, if you think a very important title is missing, let me know and I'll devote some extra time and effort to evaluate it, compare it to the alternatives e. You might also want to check out the user comments HERE. Let me also elaborate on the most advanced multiplayer feature: inviting buddies via the new Push feature of iPhone OS3. With IM apps, these can be, among other things, new messages sent to you by your buddies.
Some unfortunately, not all multiplayer games also incorporate Push notification. This lets the players send out game requests in real time that will surely be received as soon as you issue them. That is, the person sending out the invitation can safely stay in the game: if his her buddy does want to play, he she will see him her joining the game in minutes at most.
Let me show you some examples of how this works. TON, has just been released. See THIS for more info. The second part seems to be a lot cooler. Currently, at least in single player mode, it EP 2 seems to be a keeper. A new version of Galcon one of the best multiplayer games has been released:.
Please see the last four rows of the chart for more info. Also, in the meantime, the following titles have been updated: NanoMechs by Theorian to version 1. Unfortunately, it is still suffering from the same bug when playing between an iPhone 3G and a iPhone 3G S.
For this price, it seems to be a pretty good choice. In multiplayer, you need to collect the starts as quickly as possible instead of your opponent and, then, exit the map. Then, your opponent will have 3 seconds to exit the field. I've quickly made a video demoing it in multiplayer on both the 3G and the 3G S at the same time.
As you can see, it isn't the best on the 3G — it can be around fps. On the 3G S, however, it's working flawlessly. Unless, of course, you plan to wait for a price drop It uses lounge-based remote play. That is, something painfully still? Note that, in this quick review, I only discuss the recently released second episode Ep II for short , not the first one. The reason for this is that Ep I has a vastly inferior multiplayer mode — something more of a joke but definitely not belonging to a decent strategy game.
Please consult the reviews in the last section for more info on the weaknesses of the multiplayer. Playing the game is far from trivial for a newbie.
I too took at least a day! In addition, due to the bug? It was only later than I found a fix for this. Both UniWar and Mecho Wars are far-far better in this respect — they have a much more logical single and, with UniWar, multi- player interface and tutorials. Basically, multiplayer looks like that of UniWar.
I really hope the developers do introduce some kind of advanced notification scheme e-mail, OS3 Push etc. UniWar is capable of this. The in-game multiplayer menu: And, finally, the stats after finishing a battle: Verdict This is an excellent game, particularly in multiplayer, assuming you are ready to actively devote some time to learning the physics of the game.

Antihero is one of the slickest, most immediately entertaining digital board games on mobile. That it can also be played with others locally or online in casual or ranked PvP is a massive bonus. In other words, it pretty much combines strategy, role-playing, exploration, and action into a single board game. That sounds like a massive clutter of undefined genres but makes Antihero, in fact, a super fun creation. It's just a tad bit more tedious until you figure out the basics.
Afterwards, you can only praise it. A team-based online FPS that makes a series of ingenious concessions for mobile play. With all of these elements, one could also argue that it has taken over the internet more or less.

This amazing card title easily deserves a spot on the list.
It is, by far, one of the best multiplayer games for iOS devices and no devices at all by using the physical Love Letter deck. It's a contest where you have to guess the other players' cards or take it to the last round, where the one with the highest number card wins.
The actual goal would be delivering the love letter to the Princess. It's much more exciting when actually playing it, especially if you have 3 other friends to join in on the fun. The rounds are short, but there is a lot of replay potential!

Even better when you have a couple of friends to challenge!
The second slice of charming action-RPG romping comes with the potential for couch co-op multiplayer. Needless to say, it's even more fun with two people. Cat Quest II is as charming as ever, and the catventure is only better with another mate to hop on.
