Game: Prince of Persia Retro

Prince of Persia Retro is a perfect port of Jordan Mechner's classic Prince of Persia, and an easy addition to your app library. The game's two-dimensional sights and sounds are a tight fit for the iPhone's small screen. Its combo of platforming, exploration, swordfighting, and high drama are just as addictive as they used to be. Even the touch controls are right on, and arguably feel more intuitive than the keyboard buttons we used in the '80s. But it's also perfect to a (slight, but nagging) fault.
