This is the list of my favourite Top Ten iPhone and iPod Games for Women. They’ve made it to the list because they are the games that I’m currently playing and enjoying. These will change from time to time, so check for updates by going to my iPhone page.
10. Glow Hockey
Based on the physical arcade game, Blow Hockey, this is a funky and frenetic game which comes with four levels of difficulty from easy to insane. Insane mode is, well, insane and very difficult to master. I still haven’t won a game in this mode and the only time I score a goal is by mistake! A great game for waiting rooms, requiring no mental effort whatsoever, just really quick reflexes.
9. Falling Gems
This fast moving, colourful and fun game from Rocha Software is an old favourite offering three modes of play: Challenge, Endless and Classic. Match three or more gems to score and earn silver, bronze and gold stars for bigger groupings. Colour blind? Never mind, the options menu adds icons to each colour to make it easier to match. A wonderful game that will simply make time fly.
8. Space Loops
Another highly addictive game from Rocha Software, Space Loops is reminiscent of the old arcade game, Pipeworks – without the water. You need to make complete loops out of puzzle pieces as they appear and before they time out. Just tap and drag to turn and place the pieces. The bigger the loops the higher the points. As you progress through the levels the game becomes faster and more challenging. It’s a great game to keep you occupied while travelling or waiting.
7. IMDb Trivia
Coming to you from IMDb.com, this is a great trivia game to test your knowledge of movies, TV shows and celebrities. Currently offering 6 question packs, three of which are free once you have “unlocked” them by successfully answering most of the questions in the first pack. Three additional bonus packs can be bought for $0.99 each. Wonderful, clean, easy-to-use design with a variety of question formats, ranging in challenge to suit casual fans and movie buffs alike. IMDb Trivia is a great way to expand your knowledge of Hollywood.
6. Trivial Pursuit
The mobile version of this classic board game is fun and moderately challenging. Available in single and multi-player modes, the game has smooth gameplay and some great pics. I’ve only used it in single player mode and find it perfect for travelling, especially with long airport stop-overs.
5. Angry Birds
It’s no wonder this dynamic game is such a hit – it’s fun, frustrating and infinitely addictive – everything you could wish for in a mobile game. Angry Birds is one of those games that you simply cannot put down. Your aim is to seek revenge on pigs who have stolen the birds’ eggs. Cheeky and quirky, the concept of flinging birds at pigs and obstacles is hilariously irresistible!
4. Angry Birds Rio
A crazy, quirky, highly-rated take on the hit movie Rio this game will have you begging for more. Help free the original angry birds who have been kidnapped and shipped off to Rio de Janeiro. This time you are facing the cheeky marmosets, some of whom are very tricky to get rid of. Great fun, Angry Birds Rio doesn’t disappoint!
3. Bookworm Deluxe
I just can’t get enough of this delightful word game. Link letters together to form words and feed Lex the hungry bookworm. The mobile version has a welcome addition – a library of “books” of different themes, each having a list of bonus words that you need to “tick off”, earning you extra points. Challenging and engaging this is a great addition to your phone collection.
2. Angry Birds Seasons
Weird and wacky, Seasons is a welcome addition to the Angry Birds family. Travel around the world to experience different festive seasons with the latest version featuring the Cherry Blossom Festival in Japan. Sporting some new bird characters and unique features, you can wreak havoc at Christmas, Halloween, Valentine’s Day, St Patrick’s Day, Easter, a summer picnic and the Chinese Year of the Dragon and Moon Festival. This version will keep you occupied for months!
1. Who wants to be a millionaire 2010
Main reason this game is at number one is because I’m still playing it everyday and trying to get as high a score as I possibly can. Based on the popular TV show, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is quite challenging and loads of fun. Once you have worked your way through the starter pack, you can unlock three additional question packs for $0.99 each. A new version of the game is also available at iTunes which enables you to play with friends.
