The week following Christmas is set to be the biggest ever in terms of iPhone gaming activity according to iPhone fan network PlayHaven and mobile ad exchange Mobclix. It makes sense: You've got a boatload of people with new iPhones and no sense of how to distinguish the bad games from the good. It's like a bunch of infants crawling around with loaded revolvers.
In a recent release, PlayHaven CEO Raymond Lau said "The week between Christmas and New Years has become the great 'Game Rush' for iPhone games - essentially what Black Friday is to brick and mortar retailers." The only real difference? A significant decrease in your odds of getting trampled by sleepy fat people.

Great, just when I thought the fart-app craze of 2009 was dying down.

Did you switch to the twin stick controls? I actually thought that was an impressive port.

Yeah, it pisses me off when people call it an iTouch. It's "iPod Touch". How hard is that?

But those are an iPhone and a Nano, so why not just call it a Touch like the rest of us, genius?

Even for non-games, I tripled my sales from the day before. :)

Everyone I know calls it an i-touch. Why? Because “touch” sounds downright creepy (“I got a touch!” anyone?) and i-pod brings to mind everything from a nano to one of the 1GB bricks I was playing Nelly on back in 2001.
And I’m not calling it an “I-pod touch”. Why? Because Iz got shit to do, people. You keep your extra time-consuming syllable and let us Verizon users call our eunuch of an I-phone whatever the techno-babble hell we want.

Calling it an "itouch" makes you the same as my 67 year-old aunt that calls everything that plays videogames a "Nintendo". I mean, if you wanna sound like an idiot that's fine by me...

If talking about iPods, call it a touch (just as you'd call an iPod Nano a Nano) e.g. "I got an iPod" "Which one?" "A Touch". Otherwise it's iPod Touch. Answer me this - do you call iPod Nanos iNanos? How about iClassics, iShuffles or even iU2s? I thought not.

@WREturns (Gamertag: HaloKissesBoys, PSN: WorstReviewEver):
Not quite. The equivalent would be to call all portable music players Apples (unfortunatelly my dad has been known to do that :( ). Now if they called all gaming machines PlayStations or Xboxes that would be a different matter. (Man I'm anal...damn you mother making me like this!)
