I vaguely recall how I became a fan of puzzle games. But I remember the day my parents bought me a tic-tac-toe game. Then along came the jigsaw puzzles, crossword puzzles, and tons of other games to keep me occupied. Why? Because I was the only child back then and they want me to stay in the house—somehow they succeeded. These puzzle games took long hours and I didn’t even notice.

Patterns by Offtopic is a nerve-racking puzzle game that will test your patience and will probably take away your sanity. How did I know? I almost lost mine while playing Patterns. If you’re looking for an app that will help you kill time, try out Patterns on your Android device.

The electronic game, Lights Out (1995) is the inspiration of the Patterns app. The rules are rather simple, but once you try the game it will literally make your head hurt. Just like what Offtopic claims—be prepared for a really challenging game.

Their aim is to match the patterns by clicking on different blocks. The patterns will rely on the properties of the pressed block. It was like playing a rigid digital Rubix cube.

The app Guess the Movie garnered positively good chatter because the app appeals to the cinematic interests of movie lovers. The idea of a guessing game purely based on a movie’s pin-up or obscure symbolism was received by film buffs fairly well. Whether you’re an obscuritan like me who lives primarily for the knowledge of manic pop culture, or you’re just a closet film critic who wishes to follow the likes of Roger Ebert, having this game of iconomania on your devices is pure win.

Following this “iconic” trend is the new app by Mobile Champs called . Cool Movie Quiz mimics the footsteps of its original contemporaries. But judging from the name of the app, Cool Movie Quiz only features movies which qualify to be labeled cool enough. Well, that’s just my assessment. Based from my experience of guessing the famous (and sometimes too obvious) icons, movies that are featured here vary from the likes of Steven Spielberg Oscar tent pole Lincoln, to Spielberg-produced summer tent pole Transformers.

Seems like the Affleck-helmed movie Argo didn’t only sweep the awards from prestigious award-giving bodies because the Tony Mendez biopic also made its winning cameo here. Seeing how Cool Movie Quiz displays the recent Oscar campaigners for its users, uncool movies about the hotties and the notties are definitely on the outs here. Read more

There are people who are just ridiculously good with words, and there are others who just have ridiculously deft fingers. It takes serious skill to possess a good command of the English language and maybe even a greater skill to own a very good pair of hands. Test how quick your mind really is with Word-A-Fall, Just Mobile Programs has a new word game that tests your mental ability and manual dexterity.

In Word-A-Fall, players are tasked to tap on as many falling tiles as they can within two minutes. If you’re slow, you run the risk of losing the tile you want in seconds. The different game modes available pretty much make up for the $1.99 price tag.
