To phone it in (v.): to perform an obligatory task with the least possible effort. Yup, that about sums up our approach to life when we get hooked on a new mobile game.
Whether we’re stuck on one of them arcane WiFi-less plane, on a long subway ride out to Brooklyn, or headed into a four hour “brainstorming session” here at the office, we’re always gaming. The women in our lives say we’re addicted to them; little do they know that these gloriously free time-wasters are the only thing keeping us from losing our minds when they tell us about yet another uhhhh-mazing puppy saw today.
So yeah — we game. And in doing so, we’ve found some favorites. Introducing the 10 most addicting mobile games. These mobile crack rocks get us through droll stretches of life, make us feel like we have friends, and maybe — just maybe – improve our mental acuity a little bit.
Check the gallery below to see our favorites, and be sure to tell us new app games with which to waste our time in the comments!
Don’t worry — even though we’re on iPhones, all of these apps (or similar versions) are available on Google Play, too!
