Do they even exist anymore? Can anyone point me to some good ones?
I can verify right now for the record that Doom is really fucking good. It's a rail shooter, though. Captures a lot of the feeling but not the method of play of old school Doom. Lots of shooting. Great fucking graphics, too.

I've got a spare copy of Portal, if anyone wants it message me.
I know a port of Civ is too much to hope for but something along those lines

Resident Evil 4
Pretty sure Shinji Mikami is just a pile of severed body parts now.
Edit: Dammit!
So you are saying that it looks like Resident Evil?
Touche, sir.

Yeah but fuck megathreads, I'm asking a specific question and I'm not interested in a general discussion of games.
I like iPhone games, but I find that all of the highly rated ones seem to be of either non-turn based genres, or are tower defense games and I am finding the selection a little shallow as a result.

looks just like the one released for ... normal cell phones... a few years ago.

The only TD game that was mentioned even halfway recently in that thread was just that Geodefense was on sale. As for Turn-based games, that's because there really aren't that many out there that are good. And most of the ones that are out are Fire emblem/ advance wars clones

Mike Tysons punchout FTW
XBL - Clarke Ch40s
Azkend
Sims 3
Sally's Spa
Those are my favorite iPhone games so far
Pheezer, that thread is basically just a recommendation-a-thon. Read it you dumbass.
Also, I feel your pain on Tower Defence. If you read the iphone games thread we could have been brothers united in hate for stupid fucking tower defence games.
Also,
Uniwar
Reign of Swords
Mecha Wars
Orions
Those are the good TBS games. Orions is a turn-based card strategy game, but we try not to hold it against him.
One day, soon, oh God please let it be soon, Rogue Planet will finally get released and it will be a great day for TBS fans. Or it won't live up to the hype and everybody will hate France even more than they do already. It's hard to tell, really.
I can't vouch for "really good," but Mecha Wars is a pretty obvious Advance Wars clone that's only 99 cents, has some very distinct art (made by the guy that did Eternity's Child, I think?) and just recently added a free update with a second single-player campaign and more detailed unit stats.
And if you like puzzle-platforming games, Toki Tori is still only a buck and is pretty awesome.
Listen to this man.
galcon is ok, but it gets old after a while. the AI isnt smart they just cheat at higher levels.
the mass effect game is ok.
bejeweled is probably my goto 'lets waste 3 minutes' game
Listen to these mans.

Galaxy on Fire
Coast Guard
Galaxy on Fire ($4.99), the first thing I'll say is if you don't like space combat games like Freelancer (which Galaxy on Fire can be compared pretty well to) then don't buy this game, especially at this price. It uses the accelerometer as its main control scheme and it works pretty well. You have access to three different types of weapons (including missiles) and if you double-tap the fire button it'll keep firing without you having to press anything. As I said, it's pretty similar to Freelancer. There are many different star systems each with their own planets and space stations and there's a light in-game economy with trading. Lots of different ships and weapons to buy. It's a pretty fun game but let me warn you that so far I find the story to be absolutely atrocious, especially the dialogue. The cutscenes are also really buggy so any drama that might be communicated to you will be lost because cutscenes and dialogue don't sync up.
Occurro! ($0.99), this game is the most easily recommendable game that I have. It's a top-down space shoot 'em up that uses the accelerometer as its main control scheme. The tilt controls are implemented excellently and it's a breeze controlling your ship while you use the touch-wheel on the right side to control where you're shooting. It's a simple game with only one weapons upgrade that I've found but there's a variety of enemies and it's only a dollar!
I've also played Elliss Lite, definitely try that. It's multi-touch, where you have to separate or combine yellow or pink planets in order to fit them inside of these blackholes that open up. Yellow and pink planets begin to disintegrate when they touch and when you clear planets away these little star bits shower the screen for you to tap and pick up.
There are so many $0.99 games out there, I've been contemplating getting Flight Control, I Dig It, Harbor Master (Flight Control might have started its own genre) and Zombieville USA (although it's $1.99).
Edit: Oh yeah, Coast Guard was just made free so try that too. You control a ship by drawing its path on the screen and you tap on the screen to fire its weapons. Cargo ships attempt to dock at the island in the middle and offload their cargo (weapon upgrades and health) and you have to prevent enemy ships from destroying the cargo ships without destroying the cargo ships yourself)
That said, Enviro-bear is a must own.
