Best iPhone Game Ever!

If you don't own an iPhone, I understand, but I have officially found your reason to buy one if you want too.
Here's what you do: ladies and gentlemen put your current cell phone on the floor, go put some boots on (or clogging shoes), jump with all your might, land directly on top of your current cellular and destroy it. Make up whatever excuse you need to in order to convince anyone concerned regarding a financial decision of this caliber, because you just had aford bring the TRUTH about your new phone.

And the truth is: forget the touch-screen! Old news. Don't worry about the visual voice-mail, it's for hags. The clean lines and seamless integration with iTunes - who cares? Hottest little ditty on the cool kids wish-list? Pfffft! The reason to buy a new iPhone, two words - Cannon Challenge. Link to App Store.

This little baby is the end-all-be-all for video games. Not too hard, not that thought consuming. It is the modern day Tetris for mobile gaming enthusiasts. Bold statement for me to make? HELL YES it is.

But, I've got experience, reason, and a variable of believability going for me.

Experience - been gaming on a handheld since Coleco Head to Head Football.

Reason - it's free and from Discovery Channel, they make educational crap you know!

Believability - I walked into the software programmers offices today touting my love for this game was given confirmation that it was in fact the greatest app ever on the iPhone and reason to celebrate. As a matter of fact, I owe Scott a great thanks for the picture of his "Winning Score" that I have posted above. And in doing so, found the only glitch on the game so far - that upon his final winning shot Cannon Challenge could not take being beaten and told him via his perfect score that he had the won - and subsequently also lost.

Small price to pay for the greatest game yet, enjoy your cannon!!

thanks for the pic Scott and the review...I'm telling you Tom - you should get this phone if you even thought about the apps, totally worth it if you're in the phone-searching mode.

People have been promoting the iPhone for so long that it became white noise for me, and I never really considered it until all the apps started getting buzz. I am intrigued by the cool games, functional elements, and great reviews that sites like this are giving certain applications. I guess I will join the rest of the "technocracy" and sink my money in AAPL and ATT in the marketplace rather than just the market.

I reported the bug to Discovery Channel. Duplicate the bug yourself by winning the game on your last shot.

It was my first time through, just to tout my prowess. I had one clean round with no misses and a few close calls, like the last round.

All in all, I have to agree with Andy that it has been the most engaging game to date for me on the iphone. In fact, I opened it just to see what it was about, and played it all the way through. I would like more rounds or more stats to help me want to play it more times. The "Sol Free" Solitare game by Smallware for the iPhone keeps stats like this for the lifetime of your install, not for merely a single session. I enjoy that feature in a game that will otherwise get repetitive.

Two thumbs up.
