5 Addicting iPhone Games I’m Playing Right Now
I’m often asked what apps are on my iPhone, and love turning people onto new ones. This time, I think I’ll do a quick rundown on 5 games I’m currently playing. These are some of my faves right now, though I have many others.
1. Plants vs. Zombies. Currently $2.99. 
Popcap, responsible for other great games such as Bookworm, Peggle, and Bejeweled 2, comes out with their version of the tower defense game. Better yet, it involves zombies, one of my favorite game themes.
You start slow, of course. You’re defending your house from the zombie apocalypse and it begins in your front yard, which is divided into a grid. In each patch of lawn you can plant a, well, plant. Different plants have different abilities…some offensive, some defensive. After each successful level, you earn a new plant (ability).

Tonight, my guest on SecondHand Radio is none other than the beautiful ChurchPunkMom, who sometimes goes by the odd name Megan. I met Megan at BlogHer ‘09 in Chicago, but we’ve been friends on Twitter for a while now. She claims to be married to some dude named OnlyAman. I’m pretty sure she’s faking, though. It’s because she’s terrified of this all-consuming love she has for me, I think.
She’s a mom of FIVE kids, home schools them all. She’s geeky and cool and funny. And wears specs, which is hotness x10.
And she’ll be talking to me tonight, live, at 10 PM EST. Don’t miss it. Go check out the 2HRadio info page, download the Talkshoe client, and prepare yourself for fun chatroom action mixed with live conversation…where YOU can call in and talk to Megan and me.
GIVEAWAY!
Plus, tonight I’ll be giving away a free copy of the new iPhone/iPod Touch game, Texas Tea! Thanks to my buddy Gerald at Snakehead Software, I have a free game code to give away for iTunes that’ll automatically have you downloading Texas Tea. That’s a 99-cent value!
I don’t know how long he’ll keep it at 99 cents, but I just downloaded it myself and I can see messing with this game a lot. It’s pretty addictive. Hope you’ll try it out and support one of my old high school friends. Y’know, if you have an iPhone or iPod Touch. It’s only 99 cents! Did I mention that?
From the press release: “If you like games such as Bejeweled, Jewel Quest II, Trism, Yahtzee and Poker, you’ll love Texas Tea™. It’s an addictive game!”
I’ll be randomly selecting a winner from the chatroom tonight. Not sure how yet, but I’ll probably ask who amongst you has an iPhone or iPod Touch and then randomly select someone to win the game code.
Hope to see you there. Tell all your friends.

I know, I know, I need to write a recap for Confab last weekend. Just been feeling extremely sluggish ever since I got back home. And now it’s been so long, it seems a recap is too late.
In short, for me, there were lots of great people there and a few new faves. Karaoke, projectile vomiting, amazing hosts in Brad and Turnbaby, top notch food and drinks, beautiful Kentucky scenery, panic attacks, possible dildo sightings, intriguing overheard conversations that you only seem to hear when you’re sober, lots of laughs, Kentucky moonshine, a little drama that I was thankfully not part of, and delightful long road trip conversations with Jill. By the way, she definitely won out on the pee count on the way home. I have the bladder of a 4-year-old, apparently. But all that coffee!
Skipped last week’s radio show because Jill and I were driving all night to Kentucky. But tonight, we’re back with SecondHand Radio!
My guest is an old high school buddy of mine, Gerald Bailey, president of Snakehead Software. Got to hook up with Gerald again a few times when I was in Alamogordo, NM, last month post TequilaCon. He just happened to be in town at the same time and it was great to see him.
Snakehead Software makes iPhone/iPod Touch games, by the way. There’s Flying Aces and iBop and more on the way, which I got to see demos of last month. Cool stuff.
Gerald also makes a mean salsa, from what I hear. And I loves me some salsa!
So please join us tonight live at 10pm Eastern, 9pm Central (Gerald’s time), 7pm Pacific. There’s a live chatroom, everyone is welcome to call in and ask questions, and we’ll have a good time.
Showtime: 10PM Eastern
Call-In Number: 724-444-7444, Call ID is 23738
Hope to see you there!
