I try out many iPhone games because often times they are free and are a great way to spend a few minutes when your waiting for something or before bed. Fruit Ninja is a popular game I downloaded for free to test out.

Basically you swipe your finger across fruit to cut it like a Ninja. You get points for doing that. It gets harder or something and then you slice more fruit with your finger. You get ranked for your fruit Ninja fu.

Its no longer on my iPhone.

This game is listed as a Playstation 2 game, but it was actually a sweet arcade game that was released on DVD and marketed as "Playstation 2 Compatible."

I only actually remember playing this game once, but it's always been stuck in my head as "That really cool hologram game." I couldn't honestly even remember what it was called, but a recent post on Dragon's Lair jarred my memory. (Time Traveler was designed by the same guy that created Dragon's Lair)

I remember being blown away watching this game. It reminded me of the holograph scenes in Star Wars.

Such a rad game.

After months of practice and a BIJILLION quarters, I finally killed the dragon. I was actually sweating at the end, but I was jubilant.

I once played this game online over a modem. Honestly, I don't remember if it was 14.4 or 56k.
It was with a good friend's brother in law.The game was really intense, but I managed to build a nuke over time. He had the upper hand by that point, until I wiped out his commander with a nuke.
I lost the telephone connection and within seconds the phone rang. He was pretty steamed, saying that we had never decided before the game that nukes were ok to use. Heck, we never had a pre-war pow wow about any of the weapons. All's fair in love and computer wars.

Civilization Revolution is the best turn based strategy ive

Civilization Revolution is the best turn based strategy ive played on a console. The game is stripped down compared to Civilization 4 on PC but that doesn't mean its less fun. In fact, I believe the game is stronger because it does less.

All you have is the PS3 or XBOX controller so they had to reduce the complexity for the game to work very well on those systems. For instance, your tech tree isn't as deep. You have less military unit options. Your diplomacy options are not as advanced. You have less details to manage. There is less world real estate too. All that said, its as much fun as I remember the original DOS version was.

Beat My Distance in JetPack Joyride

http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/FCKEditorFiles//five-stars-jetpack-joyride.jpg

Just started playing this game the other day after hearing about it on Weekend Confirmed. Its free, so if you have an iPhone you should check it out.

The premise is you have a jetpack and you are running and need to avoid getting hit by rockets and traps. Its basically another runner game similar to Robot Unicorn Attack. You collect coins in the game and can spend them on you player customization and upgraded jetpacks and the like. Like many freemium games on the iPhone you can pay money to get coins so you can outright buy the items instead of collecting coins by playing it.

So far ive collected about 4.5k coins and my best distance is 2,678m.

Like @Adym, I too remember this game.

I pretty much always played as the Banker from Boston so I could buy a ton of bullets and shoot squirrels. One time a classmate and I shot a squirrel hunderds of times to see if the amount of squirrel meat in pounds would increase.

Sadly it did not. It was still only 2 pounds.

Portal 2: One of the Top Games of 2011

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/portal2.300.04.lg.jpg

Been listening to a lot of podcasts and reading articles and Portal 2 seems to be on most peoples game of the year lists. Im not sure I had a game of the year for 2011, but Portal 2 was on of the most unique experiences ive had behind the ps3.

For starters my wife enjoyed watching me play the game. She had the same feelings about Halflife 2, she wouldn't let me play it if she wasn't present to miss out on the story. Portal 2 starts out with a bang and throws you right back into Aperture Science as you wake up from a long hibernation period to a funny robot named Wheatley.

I never felt like the puzzles were impossible but occasionally I was stumped for a few minutes. More... Read All

Who didn't play this game at school? Remember to buy as many bullets as you can!

The game still holds up. There's a Facebook version that's decent, but the original is pretty awesome.

A Facebook friend of mine just shared a post with a picture of a car On the freeway and basically said that this guy is the creator of the Oregon Trail video game and he’s a total jerk when he drives and actually quite dangerous and has been reported to the police. As I read that post I thought of another recent post where someone shared a picture of a girl texting as she was driving. It made me think of the movie the circle with Tom Hanks, A movie which had some very real red flags about the way were using Social media. (I think Apple somehow got a hold of the movie and made the ending stupid So we wouldn’t think of that company as evil). Anyways, it just feels a little scary to me that someone could not like the way I drive and then share it with hundreds and hundreds of people.

Hahahaha. Yeah.

I guess that's the fear for people that have a certain kind of fame that any kind of perceived slight could mean someone says something bad about you. I remember a few times online people on forums say this or that celeb is a total jerk when what they describe it just seemed like the person didn't want to be bothered in the moment. Which I can totally understand, sometimes people just want to go to the store and buy a candy bar and just have it be that.
