Wow, I knew that there were a lot of older games being ported to the iPhone but I didn't expect to see Final Fantasy 1 and 2. Square Enix confirmed via Twitter and Facebook that both of the classic games are being made for the iPhone and iPod Touch 23 years after the first game appeared.

While details are scarce at this point, Squenix did post two images from each FF iPhone version (see below). At this point there is still no release time-frame but I'll be sure to let you know when a date magically appears.

Announced way back in August 2009, Rockstar has finally released GTA Chinatown Wars for the iPhone. The game hit iTunes today for $9.99 and is waiting for interested gamers with a version that has a bit more oomph than the original DS version. This one is more on par with the PSP game released a few months back. I've got a couple of images below.

Codemasters' F1 2009 for iPhone launched today on iTunes. For $6.99 you can pick up this Formula 1 game and jump into the racing boots of your favorite 200+ MPH driver and tear up the tracks.

The game features are fairly comprehensive for a mobile game with all 17 F1 tracks, two game modes (Time Trial and Endurance), multiple skill modes, a customizable control scheme and the ability to share your progress and racing times through a service that integrates with Facebook and Twitter.

If there's one thing that comes to mind when I hear Codemasters (e.g., Pure, DiRT) it's racing games because they've done them so well in the past. It will be interesting to see what skills they've brought to the mobile platform with this game.

Codemasters is getting ready to offer a mobile version of their FORMULA ONE game to iPhone and iPod Touch gamers. In F1 2009, players will be able to jump into the seats of F1 drivers like 2009 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONS Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel.

When it hits the iTunes App Store, F1 2009 will feature all 10 teams, 20 drivers and 17 circuits from the 2009 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. If you take a look at the images below you might notice the game looks pretty good and driving games seem to be perfectly adapted to the touch-gaming platform so this should be fun. The tracks are just what you'd expect to see in an F1 game; Eau Rouge at Spa Francorchamps, Becketts at Silverstone and the claustrophobic streets of Monaco. F1 2009 also features a night race in Singapore and the Yas Marina circuit in the United Arab Emirates.

Apple slapped up their top game apps for 2009 on iTunes yesterday and while they didn't provide numbers or even order the list, you're likely to find at least one of these on your iPhone.

There were of course a number of games provided by the standard big game publishers like EA, Ubisoft and Activision, Konami, 2k and more, but there were also quite a few indy games tucked in there making for a nice mix. Games such as Sims 3, Madden NFL, Assassin's Creed were joined by Flight Control and Stick Wars. The nice thing about indy games is that they tend to concentrate more on gameplay than graphics and storyline.
