Rhythm games are great for letting you emulate your favorite rocker, DJ, or even dancer – if you even have a favorite dancer. However, they haven’t gone far in the way of actually teaching you how to perform on an instrument. Still, there are many useful applications that can be utilized in order to put those skills we like to pretend we have in-game to the test. One application in particular is the Jammit series, iPhone apps that come bundled with song packages that strive to teach would-be rockers exactly how to perform some of their favorite songs.

When it comes to accelerometer-based games, you tend to think of sports or games that are steering-intensive, such as kart racing or skateboarding. How about snowboarding? It may not be the first thing that jumps to mind, but I’ve found it works quite well on the iPod Touch. However, toss in a little hypersensitivity, and you have a bit of a touchy subject on your hands.

To some people, there’s nothing better than a good old fashioned game of football. I’m not one of those people. In fact, I couldn’t tell you the first thing about the sport, save from the fact that you make touchdowns and there’s a lot of showboating involved when said touchdowns are made. And why shouldn’t there be? With that said, I approached NaturalMotion’s Backbreaker Football: Tackle Alley for the iPod and iPhone with much trepidation, but with an open mind. Football and me? Yeah, right.

There’s always been a soft spot in my heart for Puzzle Bobble (also known as Bust a Move) and titles that have drawn inspiration from it. I was pleased to no end to find that the legacy had continued on the iPhone/iPod Touch with Bubble Town 2, a game that mirrors the classic color-matching, bubble-bursting franchise exactly, and one that has been absolutely burning up the Facebook community with millions of fans. So does the portable version live up to its social-networking inspiration?
