  2. Utility App:
    Yelp – I use it quite often and it does exactly what I need it to do, find great restaurants wherever I am quickly and easily.

    Game:
    Hook Champ – I was hooked (pun not intended) on this game for weeks and played it until I got the high score on at least a half dozen of the leaderboards. A great adventure with fun retro graphics.

  3. I personally love Eliminate from ngmoco. The controls are great, the gameplay is great, and it looks amazing on the 3GS. It is easily the best and most complete free game in the app store today. Twitbird Pro is also a fantastic twitter client, and there is a fantastic free version as well.

  4. Free Twitter Client:
    Tweetdeck(FREE) [why pay for twitter when it is free? Plus Tweetdeck is beautiful!]
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tweetdeck-for-iphone/id318518757?mt=8

    All-In-One:
    AppBox Pro($.99) [why should we have to pay $.99 for one small feature when we can get multiples for $.99 ;D]
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/appbox-pro/id318404385?mt=8

    Tower Defense FTW:
    Tower Madness($2.99 or free with ads) [Lots of maps and so far have all been free downloads PLUS zoom way in for some ground level action!]
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/towermadness/id316491616?mt=8

    The Creeps($.99) [With destructible terrain and gorgeous graphics, this game is top notch!]
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-creeps/id300670609?mt=8

    Most Helpful: Dictation(FREE) I have terrible spelling so for me this is a great app just to see how to spell what I’m saying ;P]
