iPhone apps for those lazy hours

MiD DAY picks some addictive games from the App Store that you can download and play on and on...

Old meets new: In Cro-Mag Rally, you get behind the wheel of a prehistoric hot rod. Use the iPhone itself as your steering wheel and avoid obstacles. You can also use primitive weapons like Bone Bombs and Heat-Seeking Homing Pigeons.


Word power, anyone? While playing Scrabble on the iPhone, you can shake the phone to shuffle tiles, spell with drag-and-drop, and zoom in and out by pinching.


On a roll: Shake your iPhone to roll a hand in MotionX Poker. This game simulates real dice movement and collisions when you shake your iPhone.


The chips are down: Love cards but can't meet friends often enough? Texas Hold 'Em pits you against virtual opponents or with up to eight of your friends over a Wi-Fi network.


One drop at a time: In the puzzle game Enigmo, you use your fingers to move and rotate bumpers and accelerators that control the flow of drops of liquid. There are 50 levels in this game and you can download more for free, or create your own levels.
