I'm an experienced programmer, but I'm completely new to making games. I'm thinking of making an iPhone game that is similar to a 2d tower defense type game.

In the web programming world, it would be a big waste of time to make a website without using some sort of web framework (eg ruby on rails).

Is that the same for making games? Do people mostly use some sort of framework/game engine for making a game? If so, what are the popular ones for iOS?
