   I wonder how many games are available on the app store were built with cocos2d? 1000+ ? Maybe we should have a cocos2d game review site? It seems like we're getting a few new cocos2d game announcements each week. The interesting thing is most of the recent games are really well done and most developers have no "prior programming knowledge" :)) I need to work harder...too competitive now:( I've been doing iphone game for about 7 months and I haven't made much money.

   an "App Showcase" would be a really cool addition!

   I think Riq used to maintain something of a list of Cocos2D games, but there are just so many now that it would be a major endeavor to keep it up. I'm not sure who the target audience would be for a site which just reviews Cocos2D games, either. For the average consumer there's no practical difference between a game made with Cocos2D and one which is not.

   Maybe everyone should put cocos2d in their list of app keywords. Doing a search in itunes for "cocos2d" now only comes back with like 20 apps.

   That's a good idea.

   It's a good idea. It could simply be a script like the one used in Cocoslive to show the icons of Cocos2D games. Then clicking could go to the App store or display a description.

   Could even be UIWebview compatible so that devs can add it directly to their games.

   Maybe make categories or show a few random games.

   regarding the games:

   - cocoslive has more than 220 games (most of them uses cocos2d too).
   http://www.cocoslive.net/games

   - in the "cocos2d games" forum there are 190+ topics (let's say there are 150 games).
   http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/forum/1

   - in the old cocos2d game wiki page there are 122 games.
   http://code.google.com/p/cocos2d-iphone/wiki/GamesUsingCocos2d

   - plus the cocos2d games that we don't know of (let's say a 5~15% more ?)

   And many cocoslive games weren't published neither on the cocos2d-games forum neither on the old wiki page.
   And the collisions between the old wiki and new cocos2d games forum are very small.

   So I think there should be more than 350 cocos2d games (not counting the lite versions, counting only the "full" versions).
