This is the tile matching game that many of us have been playing on computers for years. it actually is a real board game, but most of us know it as a casual computer game.

Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance is a first person shooter in space. Killing aliens is a blast, literally!

Plants v. Zombies – $2.99

Screen shot 2011 02 10 at 2 38 26 PM

This game is so much fun that we had to delete it to get anything done. It is a tower defense style game where you plant various plants in the yard and they hurl their veggies at an oncoming attack of zombies of varying degree of strength. If one gets to the door, your dead. We love the lawn mowers mowing down the near dead invaders. But be careful as this one will suck you in quickly.

Harbor Master – $1.99

Like Flight Control above, you have to shepherd boats and ships with cargo to port. The thing that makes this one a little more challenging is that you also have to send them on their way. Both are done by dragging across the touch screen.

SimCity Deluxe – $.99

The Sims is fun, but we love SimCity. Besides Doom this was the first game we got hooked on when it came to playing games on a computer. The iPhone version isn’t nearly as fun, but close. You are asked to build your own city and keep it from destroying itself or getting destroyed by disasters while making the citizens happy. Or you can play one of the scenarios where the city is built but there is a specific challenge to overcome.

Chicktionary – $1.99

Screen shot 2011 02 10 at 2 47 26 PM

This is a word game that kids love, but we know an adult who can’t stop playing it herself. She’s a school teacher and uses it with her class as a reward with her iPhone on her document camera projected onto the pull-down screen. She gets her kids to do almost anything by just saying, “We’ll play some Chicktionary afterwards.”  The game shows seven letters and you have to make as many words as possible in a time limit.
