Graham Spencer

My name is Graham Spencer and I live as a student in Perth, Australia. Apart from my studies I enjoy spending time with friends and family, watching spectacular TV shows such as Dexter, Six Feet Under and Mad Men, dabbling in Photoshop (even creating some pieces on Graphic River) or using one of my three (awesome) Apple devices (iPod Touch 3rd Gen, Aluminium Macbook and iPad) for surfing the web, playing awesome games, checking the news or writing up the next essay for my studies.

Whether you’re a long time iDevice consumer who used the App Store on Day 1 and want to go back down memory lane and re-experience the enjoyment that can be gained from some of the games, or you have a new iPhone or iPod Touch and wish to get some excellent games that have been reduced in price after almost two years in the store, keep reading for the full list of games!
