In the latest issue of the Georgia Straight is my article rounding up some of the latest game applications created for Apple’s iPhone and iTouch devices.

Since I filed this piece there have been – literally – hundreds more released. Drop7 is a great puzzle game and I haven’t had time to try out Metal Gear Solid Touch, but I’ll do another round-up later in the year.

Until then, here’s a sampling of what’s available in the game category at the App Store.

The most exciting advancement in gaming last year came with the launch of the iTunes App Store and the release of new models and software updates for the iPhone and the iPod Touch. Now, thousands of games are available to download and play on both of these mobile devices.
