Who can resist the gratuitous anxiety caused by this the thrilling computer game Minesweeper. When I first played this, I thought a smiley face has never looked so sinister.

2. Pac-man Lite
Developer: Namco Networks, America Inc. Games

Despite the inherent problems of making a joystick game, 3D, you can still get a satisfying PacMan experience from this game. Full version is $2.99 if you don't tire of the game after 2 levels. You can also do some hunting around for the Mrs. Pac-Man game in the App Store if she rocks your socks a little bit better.

This game is similar to Simon, the classic game that required you to memorize a pattern of colors and touch the buttons in the same order as it was played.
