Admittedly, it's not really a game, but we were forced to raise a happy smile when we saw this one, so felt like it was worth a mention.

GClue has released a koto (traditional Japanese harp) simulator for the iPhone, called iKoto. Ideal for budding cyber-Samurai looking to get in the right frame of mind before battle, or possibly for techno-buskers aiming for a slightly different market on the London underground, iKoto has literally several uses. It'll even record your performances and play them back when you need to feel a bit more zen.

Check it out below, and don't be shy if you feel that a quick run up and down those wonderfully traditional strings is worth 59p. We'd be inclined to agree.

Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
