I've had an iPhone for a while, and I'm guessing that a good amount of people here (now that Christmas is over) might have a new iPhone or iPad. Let's get some good games lists going!
Here's my starter list:
Really good:
Dark Nebula
Dark Nebula 2
Dodonpachi Resurrection
Hook Worlds
Rolando
Angry Birds (*sigh* -- yeah, I really like it)
Net Jankyo HD (Japanese language strongly recommended - Mahjong game with little hand-holding)
Cut the Rope (easy but really fun)
Decent:
Mushihimesama Bug Panic
Metal Gear Solid Touch
Castlevania Puzzle
Super Monkey Ball
Zenonia (would be great but has some control issues)
Sword of Fargoal
Super Mega Worm
Edge
I just bought Infinity Blade and Rage HD but haven't gotten to play them yet.

Re: Good iOS games
Cool thread. I'll have to check some of these out. I really have no idea what to buy 
I've been enjoying Canabalt (jumpy flash port), Solilpskier (score attack skiing game) and Dead Runner (which feels to me a little like a 1st person danmaku game). The first two are pretty cheap at the moment, and all have very favourable reviews, if you have no faith in my appraisals.

Re: Good iOS games
How are the controls for Secret of Mana? I love the game (of course), but I'm a little worried about how it'll play after the controls dampened my enjoyment of Zenonia a lot. With SoM being $9 I'm being cautious.

Re: Good iOS games
Pretty easy to get used to, once you work out the shortcuts.
Also, jailbreak. ^_- (Been playing Chrono Trigger with the SNES ADX emulator.)
