There are quite a few sniper games knocking about on iTunes, and here's one that ain't too bad. In Distant Assassin Reload: Sniper Trainer, you have to pick out specific targets from a crowd of people, shooting the correct one based on a random combination of head-type, shirt color and pants color. It's been called a cross between a sniper trainer and Where's Waldo?, and I kind of like that.
Unlike other sniper games, it doesn't rely on tilt controls, mostly because you need to be quite precise. You also need to shoot ahead of the targets, accounting for the distance between you and the target. It's a simple game, but you'll get at least ten free minutes out of it, and that's what matters.
