[quote name='Reguard']I liked playing the games but didn't really want to keep them on my touch after finishing them. Only good for a minute or two really. Can't really call it gaming.[/QUOTE]
When I first started using my iPod Touch for games I felt the same way because most of the games I played at the time were only good for a few minutes. However, among all of the crap, there are some really good games I've played for 8+ hours. The reason there's so much junk out there is anyone can make a game for iPhone/iPod Touch. So, it's only natural that there will be tons of games with very low prodution value. If gaming platforms were judged based on the percentage of good games then I would not consider the Wii a gaming console at all. However, the good thing about the flood of terrible games is the iPhone/iPod Touch has been recognized as a legitimate gaming platform by developers AND by Apple because people are buying those bad games. Apple is keeping this in mind with every new generation of iPhone/iPod Touch and developers see that those terrible games are selling and want in on that part of the gaming market. I think the iPhone as a gaming platform is in it's infancy and will only get better! But, it's DEFINITELY gaming. It's just mobile gaming which is very different from hand-held and console gaming.
