Just thinking about the music game on app, I have other game here to suggest, is not free, but is cheap, and is also a rythm game, but is more original than tap tap games: But honestly? What’s wrong with this people always creating the same game with a diferent group of songs or interface? I don’t want to buy another game with the same style just because there’re new songs avaliable… that’s not far from an expansion, not a new game… See this game that I bought from app this week: Drums Challenge. Finally some changes in the same old style…In this one the instrument you have to play is a complete drum, with all parts avaliable [and new ones in free style mode], and the system is also new, with the drum in the screen, you have to beat your oponnent by coping his beats in the same timming… That’s so much better than the old “wait for the collorfull icon” that I comment…. anyway, it’s a good game, really worth it if your tired of the same games over and over…
June 25th, 2009
Drums Challenge is so cool! I tried it today! Really worth it. It’s another musical game, but with different and innovative ideas that make it better than the others. I like the idea to play drums and I think it is simple but challenging.

These aren’t ALL of the games. My friend has 1 and she has a game were you have to pass these diff. tests and you crack an egg and stuff. It’s kind of like a little mini quiz and in a way they give you diff. grades(a,b,c,d,e)and comments to see if you pass the tests. Sadly, I don’t remember the name for it. But get 1 and look it up. Put the name of it on here so I can play it online.I don’t have 1 though so try to find it if you are able. Thanks a bunch!!!!!!

I’m pretty sure you can just go to iTunes and then get them back. If you can’t figure it out, try calling iTunes. Ask them: “Since I accidently removed the games from my iTouch, is there a way I can get it back without paying?”
