The iPhone is dangerously conducive to an incurable case of Social Media Addiction. Symptoms of SMA include the inability to enter any establishment—even a dentist’s office or a Kinko’s—without checking in on Foursquare. Sufferers of Social Media Addiction are known to tweet while driving, or send status updates to Facebook while undergoing surgery. If you’re not afflicted with this ailment, avert your eyes now. If you are SMA positive, go ahead and check out our favorite social networking apps for the iPhone.

Physics based puzzlers are abundant on the App Store. Physics based puzzlers with character and personality are distinctly lacking however. Enter Toshi, a rather cute and charming Japanese popstar. She loves to dance it seems but unfortunately she can’t walk. She’s also found herself in the awkward position of being stuck on various blocks a short distance away from the dance floor. It’s a tough world for Toshi clearly but at least she’s got you to save her.

img 0815 300x200 Save Toshi ReviewYou do this by shooting the blocks under or around her thus sending young Toshi in the right direction and depositing her on the dance floor. The main unique thing about Save Toshi is that the game is 3D. I’ve played plenty of physics based games that are only 2D but this one actually requires you to rotate the screen around and approach blocks from different angles depending on what you want to do with them. It’s very simple to get the hang of and also great fun.

There’s a plentiful supply of levels on offer with 100 in all and a gradual difficulty curve to ensure your brain doesn’t explode too quickly. Although it’s good to see that the levels do get increasingly fiendish. The short level style is perfect for the portable format of the iOS devices meaning you can drop in and complete a level or two before going back to your daily bits and pieces. Or you can stay hooked and complete a load of levels in one go, something which I found myself doing when I really should have been working.

I was impressed by Save Toshi. I expected formulaic but it covers this up nicely with the addition of the ever useful extra dimension. Open Feint and Game Center achievements and leaderboards are a nice touch too, especially as you’re graded on how quickly you complete each level.

Give it a whirl. Physics puzzlers have been done plenty of times before but Save Toshi brings something new to proceedings and it’s great fun for it.

Sure, you could burn a hole in your pocket by purchasing expensive games in various forms. However, the App Store provides plenty of great games that will give your wallet a break. Some of the best games on the App Store started out costing gamers not a penny. Just a few free new games worth your valuable time and space include:

Red Rum:
Ricochet games are starting to creep up in many forms. These games provide a simple premise of placing the player at one side of the screen, populating the space with enemies, and forcing the player to eliminate all the enemies with spectacular trick shooting skills. Red Rum will test your geometry and aiming skills as you will have to work hard at removing all the terrorists that stand in your way.

Alice in the Secret Castle:
Alice appears to have gone and got herself stuck in a castle. Good thing she has a magical rod that will aid her in escaping this castle. All she has to do is use this magical rod to hide castle walls so she can make it to the exit. Sadly, she has a long way to go as there are 64 rooms to get through. This will challenge you, while mocking you with visuals that pay tribute to the old days of pixilated goodness.

XLARGE X-Sk8er:
Skateboarding is fun no matter what platform it comes on. This game is all about distance and racking up big scores. The simple controls may make this seem like a walk in the park, but it will take quick reflexes and mad skills to avoid the abundance of obstacles littering the world. Sure you may not be kicking some mad 720s off a half pipe, but you will be bouncing off bums to add a precious few points to your score!
