If you grew up in the 80′s you probably remember playing popular text adventure games such as Zork on your computer. I was in this category and enjoyed staying up into the wee hours of the morning solving puzzles and making maps to try to finish each game that Infocom could crank out. Only thing is I never finished every game they made…but it is on my to do list.

Stuff.tv reviews Enigmo, a game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Currently, this is the #9 best seller in the iTunes App Store. Enigmo is a puzzle game that uses the multi touch technology of the iPhone. This means you can play the game more discreetly – compared to games where you might be waving your iPhone or iPod touch around due to games using the accelerometer. In this game, you direct water around into little buckets, soak them up with a sponge, etc. Well, that probably doesn’t make sense, so just watch the video for a better idea. Enigmo is available for $9.99.

Chris Pirillo reviews Crash Bandicoot Nitro Cart 3D for the iPhone and iPod Touch. This game costs $9.99 and was developed by Vivendi Games Mobile. You can adjust the accelerometer sensitivity in case you are over steering. This app can be played in multiple languages – English, French, Italian or German. Right away this looks a bit like a clone of Nintendo’s Mario Kart. The game still needs to be optimized a bit, but is still worth ten bucks. Read his full review here.

Juz1093 reviews Super Monkey Ball, a game available for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch running iPhone 2.0. Overall, this is a good game, but the camera angles can screw you up at times. You hold your iPhone or iPod Touch at a slight angle to be in the neutral position. To move, tilt iPhone forward. The graphics are good, but they need to spend more time improving the look of the monkey in the ball. This may be tough to play if you are riding on a bumpy bus or train.
