With <a href="http://www.geeksugar.com/tag/iPhone+Games" >thousands of games available to download</a> and play at the touch of the screen, it's easier than ever to keep yourself entertained wherever you are. But the one thing I can't see myself doing is playing Nintendo DS games on my iPhone. I mean, the DS does what it does so well, why should there be any substitute? </p> <p>I recently read a story on CNET about the <a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19512_7-10315896-233.html?tag=smallCarouselArea.1" target="_blank">five best DS games available for your iPhone</a>, and although I'm all for mobile gaming, I just couldn't get on board. Yes, buying a $7 <b>Cooking Mama</b> app saves you a few bucks from the $20 sticker price of the DS version, but I just don't know if it would bring the same flair. How about you - would you play DS games on your iPhone? </p> <!-- no strip poll --><form action="http://www.geeksugar.com/4370626" method="post" id="poll_view_voting"> <div><div class="poll"> <div class="vote-form"> <div class="choices"><div class="form-item"> <label><div id=poll-title>Would You Play DS Games on Your iPhone?</div></label> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-0-4370626" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-0-4370626" name="edit[choice]" value="0-4370626" class="form-radio" /> Sure - It will save me a few bucks, and I still get to play! </label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-1-4370626" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-1-4370626" name="edit[choice]" value="1-4370626" class="form-radio" /> Nah - I'll stick with my DS for the gaming fun. </label> </div> </div> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[nid]" id="edit-nid" value="4370626" /> <span class='button'><span><input class='fancybutton' type='submit' name="op" value="Vote" class="form-submit" /></span></span> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[form_id]" id="edit-form_id" value="poll_view_voting" /> </div> </div></form> <!-- no strip poll --> http://www.geeksugar.com/4370626#comment Poll iPhone applications iPhone games Nintendo DS Cooking Mama Wed, 26 Aug 2009 13:33:43 -0700 GeekSugar http://www.geeksugar.com/4370626 http://www.geeksugar.com/1782975 <a href="http://www.geeksugar.com/1782975"><img width=136 height=160 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl1/1/15300/28_2008/game.large.jpg'></div></a> <div class='gallery_thumbnail'> <a href='/1782975'></a> </div> I know you probably purchased your iPhone to stay connected to friends, family, and business contacts, but you gotta have some fun sometimes!

Developed by Deron Dantzler, this Safari-compatible Duck Hunt game lets you shoot down ducks with your fingertips (so you can put those giant red guns away). Unfortunately there isn't any sound like the Mario game, but it does load a lot faster.
