Contract Killer

Immersion is everything, and on the iPhone, some games can do awesome stuff if they want.
Take for instance Contract Killer, an iPhone game where you are a hitman getting assignments. Gameplay is easy, just point the gun, use the scope if you have one and kill the people you have to (and take cover when needed).
The game uses a cooldown to prevent you from getting bored too quickly by the game in the form of energy that is needed for jobs and cooldown timers on the jobs you get. This mechanism, however, brings an extra advantage. If you enabled notifications, the iPhone notifies you if you have a ‘job’.

So here’s how I experience it. You’re at work, doing your thing. All of the sudden, the phone buzzes. It’s your employer, they need you to eliminate someone. You glance around whether anyone is paying attention and sneak out to do what you have to do.

Of course, there’s a little downside. Sneaking outside means going to the toilet and locking yourself up for 15 minutes. Oh, and the notification isn’t as immersive as it could be. But still… huge potential there. Can you make fake calls with the iPhone? Like receive a fake one from an app? That would be… woah.
