SCRABBLE
SCRABBLE spells major F-U-N on your iPhone! SCRABBLE turns the touch screen into a game controller with simple intuitive controls that simulate real-life game pieces. Players can zoom in and out, drag, and drop tiles, even give their iPhone a shake to shuffle tiles. With a realistic look and feel that evokes the original board game, this exciting update includes a built-in word list, a “Best Word” Help feature to find the optimal word from the player’s tiles, score and stat tracking, as well as dynamic animations. Players can customize their game play with multiple difficulty levels, flexible game rules, and the option to play alone, challenge the computer player, or enjoy pass ‘n play for two to four players.

Sudoku
The iPhone and iPod touch become part of the game as players tap and shake their way through 10,000 Sudoku grids with five difficulty levels. Players use the easy, straightforward touch controls to tap Regular Grid mode, or enter their favorite magazine or Internet puzzle in Newspaper mode. Tap Pen or Pencil to access the annotated keyboard and enter their selection or record options. Take advantage of helpful features including Error Checking, Hint and Candidate Numbers Auto-Fill. An in-game timer keeps the pressure on, while Stats Tracking records the number of grids solved and total time played. The high resolution, smooth animation of the iPhone delivers spectacular Japanese-themed animations. With Sudoku on the iPhone and iPod touch, the solution is at players’ fingertips.

Tetris
Tetris on the iPhone and iPod touch brings a new player experience to the ever-popular puzzle game. The touch screen allows players to pinch, drag, tap, and shake to clear rows and rack up points in a whole new way. With 15 different levels, this version of Tetris challenges every level of player – from the most novice to the experienced pro. High end music and sound effects combine with cool design and custom animated backgrounds to further heighten game play. Tetris for the iPhone and iPod touch features two different play modes - Marathon Mode and the all new Magic Mode, a unique touch screen implementation designed for Tetris on the iPhone.
