iPhone Apps

Filling up your new iPhone? Just hoping to make the one you already have even better? These are the apps you don’t want to be without.

Angry Birds

Dangerously addictive but deceptively simple, Angry Birds lets you employ cartoon birds as weaponized projectiles in an escalating war against a posse of egg-stealing green pigs. (Don’t ask.) Revenge relies on vectors and basic principles of physics, but the gist is to use a slingshot to angle an ‘angry bird’ at the smug little pigs. The real challenge? Putting your phone down once you’ve started.

Scrabble

Hasbro’s iPhone app version of Scrabble might be even better than Grandpa’s board version. You can match wits against the computer, against online opponents, or against your friends via Facebook. Scrabble pros can have up to 50 games going at once, while newbies will appreciate the game’s learning tools, including a teacher mode and a cheater option, which allows the computer to choose the highest-score word for you.

Plants v. Zombies

 

The thought of a zombie attack is enough to keep any sensible person up at night. But you know what’s even scarier? Watching waves of zombies trampling your nicely manicured lawn. That national (or at least gardener’s) nightmare is realized in Plants vs. Zombies, a perennial best-seller. Game rules? The zombies advance, you bombard them with any number of flora, including ears of corn and frozen watermelons. That’s just common sense, right?

 

 

Doodle Jump

 

One of the top-grossing apps of all time, Doodle Jump remains as compelling as ever. Tilt your phone to guide the adorably-long-snouted Doodler as he climbs a piece of graph paper, all the while dodging black holes, shooting monsters, and picking up goodies. Between the game’s range of colorful winter, jungle, space and graveyard themes and its lack of a finish line, Doodle Jump is tough to quit. 

 

Fruit Ninja

Who knew that a Ninja’s worst enemy could be fruit? Apparently, Halfbrick Studio, the developer of this popular game. Just swipe your finger to cleave flying fruit in two, ideally before they hit the ground. Oh, and keep a watch out for bombs; mistakenly slice one, and it’s game over. The app is integrated with OpenFeint (so you can compete with your friends), and it’s an ideal app for commuters or for those stuck in a slow-moving grocery store line.
