2009 saw the App Store break out in mammoth fashion with thousands upon thousands of new releases hitting the iPhone and iPod touch. As such, awarding just one game a game of the year award seems unfair when there were so many great games on the platform. Our editors and writers consulted, and have deemed the following games to be worthy of our TPG Picks of 2009:
BitFlip | Metamoorephosis
BitFlip has got a unique take on the gem matching casual game that has been so popular for the last several years. By giving each piece two sides, there are multiple ways to create your combos. Add to that the variety of power-ups that are available, and you have a game that is always different. Whether you have a few minutes, or all the in the world, the multiple game modes have an option to fit into your schedule. Honestly though, one of the best things BitFlip has going for it is the music by Robert Clouth, it’s energetic and fun which sets the tone for gameplay well. – Frank Delaney
