I go through a lot of games on my iPhone that’s one of the reasons I will rarely pay for them. Like a typical Organic Freedom, I play them nonstop for a month and then I never touch them again, but I have found a few that I always come back to and are worth the money.  

Angry Birds is a game for all age ranges and is endless fun. I have 8 year old cousins who are obsessed with this game and I have seen 50 year old businessmen playing it on their way to work. Is there anything better than launching a bird in a sling shot aimed at a structure where your target is a bunch of pigs? You can buy the free version, but if you upgrade you have more levels and more fun — all for just 99¢!

My next favorite is Pictureka! The game’s motto, “Find it fast, find it first” will make you want to do just that with. It’s a classic game that I never grow tired of. There are so many levels and always new stuff to find. You can get the app for only $1.99 and have fun where ever you go. There’s also a board game version if you want to get the whole family involved with some old fashioned fun.

Akinator is a new app that amazes me more and more every time I use it. It’s kind of like a guessing game. Your job is to think of a famous person and the Akinator’s genie will guess who it is. It’s almost always dead on. I keep coming back to it because I HAVE to to stump him, ahem and have yet to do so. This app will run you $1.99.  

We really think games are great for all personality types. Even if you’re not naturally inclined to games, they can challenge your brain in a new way. And what’s great about the App games is that they’re so portable and you can pause them and come right back or come back days later.

Also, we’re pretty sure these apps are all available on Apple and Android.
