100000 Thats the number of iPhone apps that have been approved to be sold on Apples App Store So how the hell do you decide which ones to buy Well you could surf through the App Stores featured list but that means youre only buying the ones Apple wants you to buy Or you could scour through the App Stores Genius which are still not perfect in my opinion To help you with this problem were going to create a best of list of the iPhone apps we enjoyed the most each month The first edition is for October 2009 Admittedly this one doesnt have as many indie apps as we would like so were going to provide every developer with a way to get on the list To submit an app for our Apps of the Month list send details of your app and preferably a review code to and Ill check them out To be fair to you I promise to download and test every app I get In the meantime hit the jump to check out this monthslist Fifa 10 iTunes Link 999 This is my iPhone Game of the Month There just isnt a better sports game not including racing games on the App Store Fifa 10 takes one of the great EA Sports franchises and executes it on the iPhone extremely well The gameplay is what this from Gamelofts Real Soccer 2010 iTunes link a popular soccer series on the App Store I was addicted to Fifa from the moment I picked it up and loved the way the game flows From spin moves around defenders to lob shots over the head EA does a great job of providing users with an arsenal of moves that helps Fifa 10 maintain longevity The game is also easy enough to pick up and play and has a large set of features such as Manager and Be a Pro mode that make it worth the 10 price tag Downsides include the average graphics and somewhat sticky control pad the game doesnt have online play it only has local Wouldve beengreat to go with other Fifa players on the internet Finally there are some bugs that irritated me In Manager mode for example my lineup changes didnt save for the entire season so I had to keep changing my starters before every game Regardless this game is a definite winner and tops our list of apps of the month Tweetie 2 iTunes Link 299 I finally got sick of TweetDeck for the iPhones constant crashing and decided to switch to atebitss Tweetie 2 after reading our MG Sieglers post earlier this month No complaints here Its got everything you could want from a Twitter client easy retweeting uptodate tweets and isnt overly it doesnt crash or freeze I dont tweet as often as others but I love Twitters ability to provide me with uptodate news and Tweetie delivers on that front too with a great inapp browser interface that makes it easy to bookmark retweet or email links The is another great feature Definitely my new iPhone Twitter client of choice You can follow me here Follow the rest of the Crunch Family here 2XL ATV Offroad iTunes Link 799 From the guys who brought you 2XL Supercross 2XL ATV Offroad offers a great 44 ATV racing game for the iPhone The graphics are superb with sharp and detailed vehicles the blend of inair tricks and ATV racing is an awesome Not only do you get a racing game but you also get an addictive and challenging freestyle mode where you can jump flip and spin your way to a high score I couldnt stop until I got gold in every single level That said the price is a bit high at 8 and it still doesnt have the realism of other racing games on the iPhone Sniper vs Sniper iTunes Link 499 Com2Us first got on my radar with the best online multiplayer game Ive played on the iPhone Homerun Battle 3D iTunes link It was on our David Diaz s list of Best New iPhone games Sniper vs Sniper follows the same concept its a multiplayer sniper game in which you take on opponents in a series of different It isnt quite as good as Homerun Battle 3D but it is a very impressive online multiplayer iPhone game The controls are simple you tap to shoot and use the to aim The only gripe I have is that the can be hard to calibrate so sometimes I was literally moving tilting the iPhone towards the ceiling in order to hit a target iMobile Care iTunes link 199 Robin Wauters said it best when he introduced this app on TechCrunch This is one mobile application I think everyone should have installed And be recommended by them to all of their friends and relatives to boot Basically iMobile Care is an app that may save your life I think its unlikely but why wouldnt you save a slot on your iPhone and spend 2 bucksto provide yourself with a small insurance policy iMobile Care provides you with selfhelp information for a slew of potential and other emergency and situations The app from Visionsync Inc provides advice for when a person is in a car accident having a heart attack back injuries choking drug overdose and more Ill concur with Robin Wauters and say its an iPhone musthave BNO News iTunes link 199 I already follow Breaking News Online on Twitter to get about important news items such as major political news and other and national updates So when BNO News first launched its iPhone app I wasnt that impressed This update however sold me because of one simple addition push Honestly I dont care for push on most apps Other than Boxcars and IM message notices Ive turned push off on all my apps BNO News might just be the 3rd use for me to utilize push Tap Tap Revenge 3 iTunes link 099 Tapulous has made a killing off its Tap Tap Revenge series and TTR3 comes in with a new look and feel as well as inapp purchase This version is just as good as the others if not better Tapulous has put together another App Store hit and its currently 6 on the top paid list Of course the song list is stellar it has been getting better and better since the first TTR with artists like Dashboard Fallout Boy and AFI I also love the new skin and of course being able to buy additional songs within the game is great because it means that TTR 3 is going to continue to roll out new songs Rock Band iTunes Link 699 Who doesnt love Rock Band It was a drastic improvement over the Guitar Hero and quickly became one of the video games of recent times So when we broke the news that Rock Band was coming to the iPhone it was basically a given that it would make our list And it did Made by EAthe gameplay isnt quite as good as Tap Tap Revenge which is the heavyweight music game on the iPhone Honestly though it didnt matter if the game mechanic was great or not as long as it worked What mattered was that Rock Band for the iPhone came with an awesome playlist including Foo Fighters Blink182 and Smashing Pumpkins Enough said It is lower on the list than Tap Tap Revenge 3 due to price 7 is a bit much Thats our list for this month Tune in next month for the best of November 2009 and dont forget to email us with Oh and feel free to rave or rant about my choices in the comments As a bonus here are some great games from September Madden NFL 2010 by EA Sports and NFL 2010 by Gameloft iBlast Moki by Godzilab iTunes link Dungeon Hunter by Gameloft iTunes link
