There’s no doubt that mobile gaming has increased in popularity since the release of Apple’s App Store for the iPhone and iPod Touch. There’s thousands of games which range in price from FREE to around $20.

Personally, I’ve only tried free versions because I’m not much of a gamer. That said, I’m interested in trying old classics like Myst (currently $6)! Free games are usually limited in gameplay and leave addicted players wanting more, hence there’s usually a ‘full’ or ‘pro’ version.

One of the best ways of finding new and fun iPhone/iPod Touch games is through word of mouth (read: Twitter). Justine (subscribe) is notorious for tweeting about her iPhone game obsessions. I recently downloaded the free version of a game she mentioned and I finished the game in a few minutes. I’m using all my strength not to buy the full version. It’s tough, but I’m managing.

Summer (friend her up, yo!) just reviewed face-paced iPhone/iPod Touch game called Eliss Lite (opens iTunes). Yes, there’s a full version for $3. The aim of the game is to create supernovas. Although the official app description words it differently: Your job is to keep up harmony in an odd universe made of bendable planets.

However you choose to justify the gameplay of Eliss, I’m sure you’ll be addicted after the first sector.

Go forth and enjoy your universe.

I must say that Summer’s branded player also looks mighty awesome! The colors go very well together and her logo is just kick butt!
