Eliminate Pro (free)

Eliminate Pro, Ngmoco's controversial first person, multiplayer shooter is not the best looking game on the iPhone, but it's certainly quite a bit of fun. Players can take turns hunting down either humans or bots. If it's the former, they'll be using up previous energy, which recharges on its own over time, but can also be bought as an in-app purchase. Needless to say, the system has caused quite a stir by those who don't want to shell out to play more.

As for the graphics though, there's no major discernible difference in the few levels we took screens of. There are still plenty of jagged lines and identical textures.

The biggest thing users are bound to notice is the frame rate, which stays steady on the newer hardware, but can chug a bit when the action gets heavy on older devices. On newer iPhone/iPod hardware, character models are a little more filled out and feature shadows.
