I'm eager to try Enigmo myself. I've always liked puzzle games and Enigmo appears to be in the vein of Lemmings, which I was seriously addicted to many years ago. Speaking of Lemmings, I would love to see a version resurrected for the iPhone.

This is a huge plus for the iPhone. I was reading on Engadget.com about attendees first impressions of the graphics on the phone and most of them were impressed on how great the games looked. Somewhere between the DS and PSP graphics.
iPhone as a gaming platform, what a wonderful dream!

hard to believe really that I should witness an official Apple session where games are actually included as part of the show ; ) now how about a better support for games on the other Macs maybe in the next OSX labeled Snowleopard (like the name) where the focus should be on streamlining the system instead of gadgets

I remember cro-mag rally. That was actually quite fun when I played it years ago.
I'm concerned about controls though... one button and a touch screen doesn't strike me as ideal for Cro-Mag rally. I suppose you could steer by tilting the iphone... but that still leaves a need for braking, accelerating, and firing a weapon.

During the on-stage demonstration of Cro-Mag Rally, the driver seemed to be using his left thumb to accelerate and brake (via an up/down arrow icon). Obviously the steering was handled by tilting the iPhone left and right. A weapon could be easily implemented by tapping the screen with your right thumb.
