Othello
A free iPhone 3G Board Game made by Hongtao Guo
Othello or Reversi is an abstract strategy board game which involves play by two parties on an eight-by-eight square grid with pieces that have two distinct sides. Pieces typically appear coin-like, but with a light and a dark face, each side representing one player. The object of the game is to make your pieces constitute a majority of the pieces on the board at the end of the game, by turning over as many of your opponent's pieces as possible.

I've never been a big Othello fan, but I've found this game to be quite enjoyable. True to its format, this adaptation is simple enough to allow for quick iPhone play, yet has enough features to make it a potential mainstay in your gaming library.

My main is gripe is the difficulty. Easy is quite easy, and then intermediate is a huge ramp up in difficulty. It would be nice if the curve was a little more forgiving, or perhaps I'm simply too novice of a player. The other issue is that the hint feature isn't very useful. It doesn't give you the best option, it simply gives you an option available to you (which is really only useful if you don't know how to play the game).

Overall, a great effort. I'll definitely be keeping this one around.
