I have always downloaded game applications and played them. After awhile, like any other game, it gets old and boring.<span
id="more-275"></span> However, I have found two games that have been available online that are now available on the iPhone that I absolutely love, <a
class="zem_slink" title="Mafia Wars" rel="amazon" href="http://www.technology-geek.com/go/Mafia_Wars/275/3">Mafia Wars</a> and <a
class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f80000000003d7617" title="Vampires" rel="amazon" href="http://www.technology-geek.com/go/Vampires/275/4">Vampires</a>: Bloodlust. These games are created by a company called <a
class="zem_slink" title="Zynga" rel="homepage" href="http://www.zynga.com">Zynga</a>. You create a character for yourself and then complete missions in each of the games. After completing missions you use the points to acquire new skills that will increase your skill and level in the game. Once you acquire skill you then can â€œfightâ€ other members of that game to gain more points.</p><p>I know what youâ€™re thinking, â€œthose games are so stupid and a waste of time.â€ I used to think that too and I never thought I would like an <a

I find myself waiting for the time to pass so I can go kick some A$$. I was amazed that after I started playing that a lot of my friends and co-workers had already been playing the game, which of course increased my competitive nature. I usually do not push iPhone game applications, but I found myself downloading this on my boyfriendâ€™s iPhone for him to play too, whether he wanted to or not. I of course had an ulterior motive for this though. If he is a member then I could add him to my <a
