Fieldrunners.

This little game popped along on the iPhone and iPod Touch quietly and with not much fan fare. If you check out the App Store you will see many many reviews showering this game with praise.
Like all great games the idea is pretty simple. Baddies enter the left hand side of the screen and exit on the right hand side of the screen. Your task is to stop their flow by placing an arsenal of weaponry in their way. Once 20 of them cross the exit and your 20 lives are gone, your dead.
The learning curve and skill curve is very well drawn out and you quite easily find yourself settling down and playing a round of this game for a couple of hours.
Once again the iPhone demonstrates it’s leadership in the mobile market, shifting itself from its simple phone background, to takes on the likes of Playstation PSP and Nintendo DS.
