My favorite mobile game:  Pocket God for iPhone by Bolt Creative. I have downloaded several games for my iPhone but one game stands out. It is very smart and filled with humor and it is a downright funny game where I get to play god. Using the iPhone’s touch screen, I can manipulate the characters anyway I want to. I hate to admit that I am really addicted to this game. The game is simple. Across my screen are cute little natives who are living in a small island in the middle of the ocean. You can command them to fish, walk from side to side or jump into the ocean simply just by pushing them off the island with your mighty finger.

You can also switch from one location to another such as going under the sea where sharks are lurking around or you can instantly go to an Alaskan island where igloos and ice monsters are present to add more entertainment to the game. The most wonderful part of this game is when I use it to channel my bad emotions and distress. If I’m in a bad mood or argumentative, I usually end up sacrificing my natives by throwing them off into the ice cold water or feeding them into the sharks. Apart from that, I send tornadoes and fill the skies with thunder. But when I’m in a blissful state, I take good care of them by pampering. The game does not require you to connect to the internet. This is somewhat similar to Virtual Villagers but such game isn’t as addicting and hilarious as this one since you can’t manipulate the characters as much as you want to. This game is pretty neat for a cheap price of .99 cents because they regularly update. You can visit their website: http://pocketgod.blogspot.com to learn more of their upcoming updates and you might even get the chance to win some goodies that they are giving away. Buy Pocket God at
