Remember those days when you just couldn't beat your video games? Struggling for hours and hours to get past that one level, or boss? Games like Pac-man or Space Invaders that became impossibly difficult for ''casual'' gamers?
Well, if you have played games more recently you may have noticed that there is next to no challenge and somebody with very little experience will glide through the entire game in a day or two only to feel you have wasted your money and haven't got as much enjoyment from game you first expected!
However, Have a quick browse through the app store and you will be treated to a vast amount of games that will not only challenge your gaming ability, but will hold your interest for long enough to complete them (as we all hate having that game hanging around we just cannot beat!). For example: Angry Birds, a favourite to everyone and their grandmother! It has a strategic (and luck) style of game-play with a ''castle smasher'' genre.
Or maybe Plants vs Zombies (a personal favourite of mine) which is almost like the old playground game "british bulldog" but offers hours of fun and strategic game-play.
All in all I believe that iOS and the app store is pretty much saving and making up the much needed gaps for the game industry as a whole, offering a lot more bang for your buck than many full priced console games (lacking some aspects obviously).
Feel free to comment your opinion on the subject or put forward some of your favourite downloadable games, for iOS or other service.
