to add to this, when searching for or browsing apps on applevis, there are options called usability ratings that one can select, such as: "The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and is easy to navigate and use."
"The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver, but the interface could be easier to navigate and use." "The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver, but the interface makes the app very difficult to use." "There are some minor accessibility issues with this app, but they are easy to deal with." "There are some accessibility issues with this app, but it can still be used if you are willing to tolerate these issues and learn how to work around them." "Some parts of the app are accessible with VoiceOver, but not enough to make it usable." "The app is totally inaccessible." when selected, the site will only show apps that fit those ratings that you select. there are also various other helpful accessibility notes/comments/pointers in the individual app descriptions. put together, all of these are a real help to gage which apps you should be able to use with little or no problems.

Hi Dark, I have downloaded many games for the Iphone and recommend one called Dimentions, or maybe that is an S rather than a t. A good place to get started is http://www.applevis.com There you will find many categories of apps to use. Also there are many podcasts on how to make use of many of the apps available. Also Accessible Mine Sweeper, Tap the mole are very simple games. I was trying to remember a game somewhat like battle ship but can't think of what it is. Good Luck.
