Games and fun

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy — and we wouldn't want that.

Like the iPhone App Store, games on the Android Market are well represented. Here is a taste of the fun to expect from your new Android phone.

Brain Genius Deluxe

The jury is out on whether brain training games can actually improve your mental prowess, but there's no doubting they make good mobile phone games. Brain Genius Deluxe features a collection of fun puzzles and best of all: it's free.

Barcode Beasties

Playing Barcode Beaties is a short but sweet experience. Use the phone's camera to read the barcode on any product and the game uses this data to create a virtual monster. Match two together and get ready to rumble. Ever wanted to know whether Coke was better than Pepsi? Now's your chance.

Zombie, Run!

When it comes to surviving the impending zombie apocalypse you can't have too much practice. Zombie, Run! uses the Dream's GPS and Google Maps to simulate a plague of the undead.

Bonsai Blast

Like the classic Namco game Bubble Bobble, but with a twist. Bonsai Blast is the perfect little game for a touchscreen phone, not requiring any mechanical controls to get the most out of this gem.

I appreciate the idea of this article but it is totally pointless putting in a 13 month old article about Android apps. An update would be great!

APNDroid
Turns data on/off which is really handy if you want to save on data costs or save the battery and still receive calls. It's free.
