Top 5 Console-Quality Games for Your iPhone

The games you can get on the iPhone have really come a long way since the early beginnings of Bejeweled and Angry Birds. If you are looking for some really high-quality games, don’t spend hundreds of dollars on a high-end gaming console and a handful of games. Not when you can enjoy dozens of console-quality games and take them with you wherever you go.

Below, I have listed the top five console-quality games for your iPhone. Take a look, you might find something you like.

1. Chaos Rings

Square-Enix has been publishing best-selling roleplaying game franchises for decades and their latest endeavor makes its debut on the iPhone. With smooth writing, old-school gameplay and graphics that truly push the iPhone hardware to the limits, this is one console-quality game that any smartphone gamer simply can’t be without.

2. Dead Space

This iPhone installment to the popular Dead Space franchise brings the survival horror genre to the handheld community in a big way. With deep and engrossing gameplay and plenty of detail that rewards exploration, players will get their money’s worth as they explore the haunted corridors of a sprawling space station.

3. N.O.V.A. 2

Bringing the first person shooter genre to the iPhone, N.O.V.A. 2 sports some impressive visuals coupled with fun and addicting gameplay that anyone familiar to the genre is sure to be able to pick up regardless of the limited peripherals. Add to this a lively and highly competitive multiplayer community and you have a gameplay experience on the iPhone unlike any other.

4. Infinity Blade

Gorgeous doesn’t begin to describe this highly detailed and engrossing epic. As a knight, you travel the picturesque land in search of fortune and glory. The setting is probably one of the biggest characters in the game, with beautiful set pieces that are only occasionally interrupted by pitched battles with enormous adversaries.

5. Grand Theft Auto III

Even though Grand Theft Auto III was a PlayStation 2 title, it still holds up to this day giving the player a massive, open-world to explore and interact with as they please. The translation of this enormous game onto the iPhone is a smooth one, sacrificing neither the depth nor the magnitude of this sandbox experience.

So what are you waiting for? Don’t go bankrupting yourself on the hottest new consoles and $60 games when you can find all the console-gaming you could want on your iPhone for a fraction of the cost.
