On my approximately one hour train commute this morning I was switching back and forth between reading an ebook (from the excellent Baen Free Library) in Plucker and playing Text Twist and wishing for another distraction or two, probably a game. I love Text Twist, as is evidenced by the 6 semi-permanent smudges/scratches on my SJ33's screen, but I want something more/different. Of course there's Bejeweled in ROM, but I lose interest in that game relatively quickly. Ditto Rally 1000, a Mille Borne clone I have installed... fun but not something to hold your interest. I've tried several of the other PopCap and Astraware titles - Insaniquariam, TipTop, Bookworm, Alchemy, etc. and in general I've liked them for awhile and then end up deciding that I don't like them enough to register them and so I delete them. I have Aldon's Crossing registered and enjoyed it but find that I don't have the time to devote to playing an RPG on a PDA and always found myself wondering where I was and what I was doing when I started playing again, so I deleted it.

All that being said I am not necessarily looking for people to necessarily make suggestions to me, though they are certainly welcome, but rather I am interested in other peoples PDA gaming habits and what games they find they are playing the most or again and again.

Let the lists begin!
