If you have played iGolf on the iPhone/iPod touch before, then you will be pleased to know that iBowl also takes a similar concept, packaged to cater for bowling fans, sports and gaming enthusiasts to get some gaming in whenever they’re outdoors and need to kill some time. Don’t expect over the top graphics with this, as it is meant to let time pass by nicely without having you burn a hole in your wallet while you’re at it.

iGolf and iBowl are the first two games in a series of iPhone and mobile gaming applications that will be available over the coming months. To play iBowl, the user depresses the ‘BOWL’ button on the touch-screen interface throughout the swing and releases the button at the end of the swing to direct the bowl down the bowling lane. By twisting your wrist while you swing the iPhone the player can create spins and control the direction of the bowling ball. Updates to this game will be available by October 13, 2008.

I would take all the necessary precautions to make sure that the iPhone/iPod touch won’t just slip out of my fingers by accident whenever I’m gaming with either title, since the sound of either device coming into contact with a concrete floor is definitely not something I would want to listen to. Among all the casual games available on the iPhone/iPod touch platform, which is your favorite, and just how much of a casual gamer are you to enjoy those?
