Once in a while a game comes around that is so simple and fun it's mind boggling. While shoot 'em ups, slash and hacks and full on sports games are impressive, there's also a lot to be said for subtle, relaxing, thinking games. Khromax is the epitome of simple, addicting fun.

Word game fan? I am. Big time. There's lots of them in the App Store, and I try to take a look at every one. Most are just graphically different versions of each other and the choice is simply over which look you prefer. Once in a while a new word game comes along that is unique to all others in the category, and Oh, My Word! is one of them.

At this point, we're entering the phase of iPhone game development where nearly every game that comes out has a corollary on the Macintosh circa ten years ago. It's actually impressive when you think about it: we're enjoying the same level of sophistication with something that can slip into your pocket, and you can relive all your favorite games. And if you liked Diablo, you'll love Dungeon Hunter.

I am a huge fan of WriteRoom for the Macintosh, a program that clears your screen and allows you to focus solely on writing. I've been resisting it for the iPhone because I couldn't see the benefit: everything you do on the iPhone essentially clears the screen and allows you to focus. But when I learned that the new version of WriteRoom features TextExpander support, I decided, what the hell, I'd give it a try.

Curling is a very strange sport. Not the uber-violent Irish stick/ball sport, although that's pretty weird, I'm talking about the Olympic (!) sport that entails sliding smooth blocks of granite down an icy path while two of your friends scrub the ice furiously. It's a Canadian thing, and so is zinc Roe's Arctic Shuffle, the game in which you curl with penguins.

Who doesn't love Zombies? Slow moving, gullible, funny sounding, mostly walking around in clumsy, easy to slay packs. There are an infinite number of ways to kill them too, every new Zombie flick has some original moves, like my favorite, the record album thrown ninja-star-like to the forehead. The only problem is that when they start to really congregate they can easily cut off the escape route, surround you, mob you, drag you down and eat you in cold blood. Then you get to join their club.

Trapped is another high quality offering from the hit game makers Com2Us. It offers all you would ever want in a Zombie game, creepy story line, dark surroundings, cool music and of course, the standard arms dangling in front- foot shuffling hordes of Zombies.
