reading one of the reviews though it's a rail based game (i.e. you don't control movement, only aiming and firing) which sounds a bit rubbish TBH.

I mainly use:

Facebook
Airport Mania (Paid) - Good, and addictive. Has a side effect of making your legs go to sleep on the bog.
iBomber (Paid but trial available) - Seems good but not played it that much.
Let's golf (Paid) - Seems a pretty good but limited golf game.
Monopoly (Paid) - Very good but total life/battery eater.
Trivial Pursuit (Paid) - Good, and a bit shorter than the above.
Metal Gear Solid Touch (Paid) - Really good this one, shows off what the iphone can do really well.
Top Gun (Paid I think) - Worth it just for the music

Knights Onrush (Paid) - Really good addictive game. Levels can be long though.
Resident Evil Degeneration (Paid) - Pretty good, a must for fans.

Picked up my 3GS yesterday and had a look through some apps. It seems to me there's potential but not actually many decent apps. Anyone know of a quiz application, more specifically a geography quiz similar to Traveller's IQ?

iTunes need to really rethink their app store section and retool it rather than just tacking it on to the music store. The dedicated App Store applet on the iPhone is a much more decent way of doing things.

Fex is great but is there anything that will download all your friends from Facebook to your iPhone phone book?

Still does work though. It does the same as the other application, it matches current contacts to those on FB and downloads their profile picture but I want something that will copy ALL my facebook friends who have numbers into my iPhone's address book.

Might I also suggest Big StopWatch V2.2, great layout, absolutely fantastically made, worth looking at just to see it, but such a well designed app

Neodite · 2 Jul 2009 at 06:10

Facebook for iPhone 3.0 comming soon!

Kind of gutted that push is not going to make it into this release, but it is a much need improvment, i hate not being able to see events on the current one

iplayer app never seems to appear on the app store for me

monkeyspank · 2 Jul 2009 at 11:57

I'm playing Trivial Pursuit quite a bit at the moment. Top game for a quick trivia blast.

Navigate to it in Safari, add it as a bookmark to your home screen

That's all it is, a bookmark.
