I love gaming as much as the next unemployed, middle aged, balding, ADHD male.  However to sit down and focus on a  hardcore game on my iPhone is beyond my 30 sec. attention span (SQUIRREL) .  Instead I like to pull out a game that I can open quick, play a round, and be done with.  Here is a whole iPhone page worth of must have casual gaming apps for your (SQUIRREL) iPhone. Click through to see the list, it’s a big’n

1. Peggle

Peggle is quite the phenomenon.  I stumbled on it in the Xbox marketplace and have been addicted ever since.  Once I heard it was coming out for the iPhone, it was imediatly a must have. The premise is simple. Aim and Shoot. The virtual physics take care of the rest. $4.99

2. Flight Control

No list of casual games would be complete without Flight Control.  It may not have been the first on the iPhone but it did set the bar.  To play just take your finger and direct your plane to the landing strip.  Easy, right? $0.99

3. Mafia Wars

From thier own website,

“You come from a humble Bronx family and begin your climb up through the mob’s chain of command, leaving a body behind on every step. You must train in the gym, get an education, and find a job to use as a cover for your illegal activities. Once near the top, you can try and eliminate a rival family’s don and assume control of the nation’s most powerful crime family. The choice is yours but it won’t be easy. There are many others out there just like you, a poor Italian kid from the Bronx. Do you have what it takes? Will you become the Don of the most powerful family in the mafia? Only time will tell!! ”

There isn’t any real action, this strategy game is all about making choices that increases your Mafia member’s influence, power, and health. It is oddly addictive FREE

14. Pocket God

I know this isn’t really a game per-say, but it is a great entertainment app in a pinch.  I mean how great is it that you control the fate of an entire civilization.  Not-to-mention the developers are basically making this a story app.  Each update adds the the previous.  My reccomendation is to grab this as early as possible to follow the continuing story and enjoy each update. $0.99

15. Monster Trucks Nitro

If i’ve said it once, I’ve said it a bigilloin times.  Flash games make the best iPhone games (The irony is glaring).  There are tons of online games that I would love to see on the iphone and would easily make this list. Monster Trucks Nitro is not necessarily the best of these but symbolizes an entire genre of great rolling physics based games  $0.99

16. Jelly Car

Jelly Car is one of the first games I downloaded from the App Store.  To this day it is still fun to play and the developer is pretty good about getting new levels and updates out.  FREE
