dastardly readers
Look: I am a very well-read person, or well read for a 27-year old, anyway. I try never to make that overbearing or to use that as an excuse to self-aggrandize. I think my more loyal readers can probably back me up on that. I just love reading, I always have, and consuming tons of whatever I could get my hands on as a child, I think, has been the most crucial element of my intellectual development. I was actually sociable and popular growing up, but I was also an intense reader, and reading was a deeply lonely activity. I know this is the most banal thought possible on the subject. But being someone who read constantly was always to feel like an outsider or a weirdo. It's not just that people didn't like to read themselves. It's that they had such an aggressive way of insisting that no one could really enjoy reading, that no one could find actual pleasure in challenging reading. Yglesias's comments thread has the inevitable "No one likes Ulysses!" snark going on. Well, I like Ulysses. It's fine if others don't. But what hurts is the suggestion that the only people who claim to like it or works of similar intensity are people who are lying to self-aggrandize. Yglesias and Olmstead take that one further by asserting that not only do most people who claim to enjoy it not enjoy, they must be lying about actually reading it-- an assertion it is almost impossible for an individual to disprove.
Well, no, I don't lie about how much I read. There's been many books I started to read and couldn't get through, and some I own that I've never even gotten the heart up to start. I know that a big reason I continue to read so much is that I have the privilege of the time to do so, which is a function of the personal and professional realities of my life. And, again, there's no judgment of people who aren't similarly addicted to books. I don't look down my nose at anyone who isn't into reading. I just want the right to love books as much as I do, and not to have people assume that my stated appetite for books is a lie intended to make me appear smart (I know how to pronounce Foucault!) or, bizarrely, to get girls. I like reading, I read voraciously, and if you don't, that's cool. I don't want to be too hard on Yglesias and Olmstead. But their posts make a lonely endeavor seem a little lonelier still.
11 comments:
If I may, I suggest that the bad behaviors that Yglesias mentions may be more common in the New York/Ivy set than in your social circle. That is, a profession of ignorance about anything isn't a sign of general ignorance. -K.

books read aren't some special category of lying. it's like if tell a girl I climbed Mt. Fuji once. I'm not insulting real mountain climbers--the other way around, i wish i were one. Same for books.
they're jealous of you, Freddie.
- December 14, 2008 at 4:50 PM
Raft is right. I lie indiscriminately about a lot of things... and I don't think I'm unusual in this. Sometimes it is expedient to do so, and sometimes it's just easier. But mostly, my lying says more about who I wish I was. I don't find Olmstead's article particularly shocking; elitism or feigning elitism has a certain cachet and I'd rather be in the company of those who were pretending to be smart than those who couldn't care less. And I'm not alone. I don't think my dishonesty will result in a dumbed down culture, but instead, pushes me to strive harder for understanding.
- December 14, 2008 at 6:46 PM
Congrats on actually liking "Ulysses", because that puts you in rather rarefied company.
As a fellow voracious reader I empathize with the annoyance of people loudly mocking the possible enjoyment of reading.
laylah -- interesting that you readily admit to lying often. Is it purely in the arena of constructively misrepresenting oneself, or what other utility do you most associate with it?
- December 14, 2008 at 8:38 PM
Mason, everyone lies. It's just the one thing I don't feel the need to be dishonest about. Mostly - it makes my life easier, because the truth often makes less sense.
A Kundera quote comes to mind: On the surface, an intelligible lie. Underneath, the unintelligible truth. Sums me up quite nicely.
- December 14, 2008 at 10:19 PM
To clarify, I am perfectly comfortable living in a world where innocuous lies and half truths are commonplace. I don't feel morally compromised in the least by my own complicity in what I assume is a universal phenomenon. Have I read The Satanic Versus? Lie: sure - I found it really boring. Truth: I read 100 or so dreadful pages and found it so boring I stopped. Big deal. Really... big Deal.

Yglesias is the master of preemptive ironical self-absolution. For example.
The practice--the preemptive self-absolution, designed to deflect criticism--is a prominent trait of our "elite," and I think indicative of its rot.
Cf. stuffwhitepeoplelike.com, the intro to Eggers' Heartbreaking Work, most of Slate.

Maybe you'd feel better if you posted an analysis of a good book after you finished it. That'd also give you some credibility so people couldn't accuse you of lying, like here where I took a dump on Hobbes' Leviathan just to make my brother-in-law mad (it worked).

Just so you know I'm not here to pick a fight all the time, I agree with you about Ulysses. At least I agreed with you until I was 27 years old, which was the last time I read it. Back then I thought that nobody could ever write a better novel. Something like that. I haven't tried it again lately because I'm scared I won't like it anymore and I want to die liking it.
I also agree with you that it's pretentious to hold out one's reading habits as something to be admired. Mine resemble yours--except mine have had some decades more to develop than yours have. I've always thought of it more as a curse than a blessing--I can't stop reading even if I tried. I'll read the labels on the back of stuff if there's nothing else to read. So I never go around bragging about it because I'd rather that people didn't find out about my dirty habit.
Related to this post is something I read in the NYT some time ago in one of their "lifestyle" pieces. It was about this topic. They talked to people in the dating scene in NY and found that reading habits were a turnoff. One can't go out with someone who has lowbrow reading habits--something like that.
But the interesting part for me was the last person they talked to. She was an editor. She said that she could care less abour her partner's reading habits, or the lack of them. She said that "sharing interests" was not how she chooses her partners. She can live with people who don't share her interests, but what she looks for is for someone who can share her "perversions." I put the word in quotes because I'm pretty sure that's the word she used.
I thought that this was the attitude of someone who had been through the mill in relationships, therefore it was the attitude of a mature adult. I appreciated it all the more since she articulated my own attitude these days. I don't care a bit what my partner reads or doesn't. Am I a pervert?

I read the comments over at Yglesias's site, and Freddie's posting as well, and was really surprised how passionate people are about this lying about reading issue.
I read a lot; have always read a lot. To a certain extent I can sympathize with Freddie's feeling of being an outsider because of this. However, I was never ashamed of being a reader (I want to cancel the implication that Freddie was). If anything, I looked down on people who didn't regularly read as being intellectually inferior. I didn't resent those who didn't read--I pitied them. Freddie seems to actively resent them (which might be justified).
I suppose this is why Freddie's reaction (and similiar one's) seems strange to me. I assume that people who haven't read much want to be seen as having read more than they have. But in the same way that I don't resent those who envy the rich, or smart, or talented, I don't resent, but empathize with those who try to seem more well-read than they are.
As for the lying issue--I wouldn't much enjoy a conversation where everyone feels obligated to note that they haven't read a book before discussing it. In my field, philosophy, it is common to be familiar with objections, arguments, theories, etc. raised by a philosopher without having read the relevant works. This is because we also learn through conversation, and so if in conversation someone I trust presents an argument or theory about a topic as representative of particular philosopher, I will accept that characterization and use it in later conversation. I assume that at least sometimes whomever I am talking to believes that I've read that philosopher. I don't see the problem with this. Obviously, reading primary sources is hugely important. But it is impossible to read them all--you sometimes have to rely on summaries.

I lie about how much I've read. Specifically, I lie about not reading books that I have read, because I'm embarrassed to have read them.

Jovetic has long been linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium and claimed last summer he turned down a chance to the join the club.
The hitman has scored 11 goals in 23 appearances for the Viola so far this season.
Berardi, meanwhile, has netted seven in the Serie B this term and the 19-year-old is reportedly attracting attention from several top clubs.
City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Southampton are all thought to be on the trail of the Italian teenager.
Gregucci claims both Jovetic and Berardi are on City's radar amid reports Roberto Mancini could bolster his frontline in the summer.
He told Radio Toscana: "It seems clear to me that not only the City but many clubs like Jovetic, because he is one of the most talented players on the European scene.
"Berardi? He has good qualities. He's young, we must see how he will grow.
"City is always attentive to young world talents and he is among them."

Cruz flew to Brazil to attend UFC 163 last Saturday, and met with Barao. According to Barao, Cruz will be fighting in Feb of 2014.
"We only exchanged a few words because my English isnt that good," Renan told MMAFighting.coml. "He told me hes returning on February. I was really happy to hear that. I hope he can return so we can finally fight."
However, Cruz's head coach said 'The Dominator' not pushing things beyond his doctor's orders.
"It's a guess," Del Fierro told Damon Martin via text message. "There is no date set, hopefully sooner rather than later. Just progressing as doctor allows."
In any case, Barao has something more immediate than Cruz to think about.
"My focus now is on Wineland. Hes a tough dude, has been doing great fights. Im well-trained and I will set a good strategy to do my best on Sept. 21."

Others are "lite" versions with limited content, and while they're also completely free, you'll be limited in what you can do. Still, they're a great way to test the waters and have some fun before deciding to buy (or unlock) full versions.

Best free strategy games for iPhone
Hero Academy
Hero Academy is a turn-based, multiplayer-only tactical combat game that pits cartoony armies against one another. Each side gets five actions points every turn to move their troops, kit them out with gear, cast spells and otherwise attack opposing units on the board. Each player (online, either random or a designated buddy) has one or more crystals they must defend while trying to destroy the other side's. You can also win by running your opponent out of reinforcements, as each side only gets so many of each type every game.
Hero Academy includes The Council army (humans) for free, but charges for the others, such as Dwarves, Dark Elves and The Tribe (orcs). You can also pay for fancy army-themed avatars as well as taunts to make your soldiers jeer after a turn.
Spice Bandits
Spice Bandits is probably the best tower defense game I've ever played. You take on the of an adorable little space pirate, plundering various locations on Earth to gather up as much spice as possible. Of course, pesky humans aren't interested in letting you get away with that, and attack your various strongholds in waves, while you have to defend with various kinds of towers. Maps have a variety of themes and terrain qualities, making every round a new experience. Over time, you gather spice which can be spent on new kinds of turrets (provided you're a high enough level and have the prerequisite turrets purchased). Spice can also be used to deck out your alien avatar in some swanky threads.
As you level up, you get upgrade points (which can also be bought with spice) to customize your play style as you see fit - cheaper turrets, faster rate of fire or more mesmerizing disco music are just a few options. Spice Bandits lets you buy spice through in-app purchases, which also eliminates ads between levels.
Triple Town
Triple Town is a simple puzzle game where you place various kinds of greenery on a small grid so that you can line up three of a kind and have them merge into another object. For example, three patches of grass make a shrub, three shrubs make a tree, three trees make a house, and so on. Occasionally, you'll have to put down bears, which block building on squares until you're able to corral them into a confined area. You keep building until you run out of squares to build on, which actually takes awhile since the board is continually shifting with sets merging together and opening up space.
Triple Town is monetized by providing only a limited number of placements. Your move count regenerates over time, but you can pay for more turns, or simply buy unlimited turns for $3.99. The coins you earn through gameplay can also be spent on buying particular items, like bots, which can eliminate pesky bears with a single tap.
Best free shooter games for iPhone
Gun Bros
Gun Bros is a run-and-gun dual-stick shoot-em-up where you and your bro (either AI or through online multiplayer) blast through waves of incoming enemies. Each level you earn coins to spend on guns and gear to change your damage output, speed, health, and other characteristics. You also gather up a mineral called Xplodium, which can be refined into coins; higher grades of refineries can provide a higher coin output. A recent update added the ability to turn on your bro and go head-to-head in deathmatch mode, if you're feeling less than friendly.
Warbucks are a separate type of currency used to buy particularly high-end gear. You can earn them through in-app purchases, watching video ads, or converting a ton of the regular coins at the bank.
MetalStorm: Wingman
MetalStorm: Wingman is a flight combat game with full multiplayer support, AirPlay compatibility and accelerometer and swipe controls. As you play through the campaign mode, head-to-head multiplayer dogfight mode, or endless survival mode, you earn credits which can be used to buy various types of missiles, cannons, and new jets focusing on defense, agility, or firepower. Don't get too trigger-happy, since your ammunition is limited. If you're not into shooting down your buddies, you can also invite Game Center wingmen to play through the campaign levels co-operatively.
A lot of the hardware upgrades require you to use premium coins, which are sold in batches for $0.99 and up or earned through regular gameplay.
Frontline Commando
Frontline Commando is an on-rails third-person shooter about a gung-ho military man left behind enemy lines. You dodge behind cover with single taps, and pop out to take aim and eliminate nonspecific middle eastern insurgents. Don't get too attached to that wall you're hiding behind though, since it can be destroyed as a firefight drags on, and grenades can quickly flush you out into the open. When you level up, new weapons are unlocked for purchase, plus you get a few bars of gold, which can be used to buy premium items. Weapon upgrades span assault weapons, sniper rifles, shotguns, and grenade launchers, each with their own set of damage, clip size, reload speed, and accuracy attributes.
You can also increase survivability with medkit purchases and body armor upgrades. When things get too hot, you can buy airstrikes to clear out the immediate area. Both "war cash" and gold can be bought through in-app purchases.
Best free sports games for iPhone
Baseball Superstars 2012
Baseball Superstars 2012 is a whimsically exaggerated baseball game with Japanese-style characters and dialog. While the game keeps tabs on minute details, such as batting averages, running speed, stamina, and confidence levels, there are some more cartoony encounters with "super players", with ridiculous anime costumes and powers. As a batter, you can control where you swing by tilting the iPhone, but don't worry, you won't actually have to swing it like a bat - just tap the screen at the right moment. Pitching is done through a series of swipes within a box. You'll encounter plenty of challenges, including injuries which require recuperation in a hospital, managing your team roster, and playing against friends online. Personally, I found this game impossibly hard when set on normal difficulty, but I'm not a sports guy. Baseball fans will love it, though. For more baseball-themed apps, check out our ballgame roundup over here.
Through in-app purchases, you can get G points, which are spent on character items, training sessions to improve your stats, or even buy levels for your batter or pitcher.
NFL Pro 2012
NFL Pro 2012 is a full-fledged football game complete with leagues, playbooks, and extensive rosters based on real players and teams. Your players gain experience and level up as you go, letting you improve their stats in a number of areas, like run blocking, catching, awareness, and agility. Every down, you pick a play available (either offensive or defensive), and while you manually control one player, the AI handles the rest. Controls during play are dead simple, but most of your time will be spent flipping through and picking plays. Unfortunately, your selection is really limited to start, and it takes an obscene number of credits to permanently keep playbooks.
Every game you play uses up energy, which you can replenish or time or through in-app purchases. Experience points to level up your players can also be bought, along with credits to buy new playbooks, stadiums, gain access to new teams, divisions, and conferences, and extend quarter lengths.
Real Soccer 2012
Real Soccer 2012 offers a wide variety of gameplay types in a fast-paced, realstic package. The core controls are laid out with a standard virtual joystick and sprint, pass and shoot buttons, but progresses in complexity with fancy gesture-based maneuvers. You can unlock a variety of different cups, starting with International, and working your way to Asian, African, American, and European cups, plus there's regional league play unlocked as you play and level up. Just remember that you're limited by how many matches you can play by a stamina rating, which recovers over time. Loading screens have bits of trivia, and occasionally test your own football, err, soccer knowledge with a multiple choice quiz.
Playing Real Soccer 2012 earns you coins which can be used to purchase new soccer balls that provide a variety of different bonuses, like extra XP per match. "Cash" is Real Soccer 2012's premium currency, which can be traded in for international teams, additional stamina, team stat boosts, access a few select stadiums, and even the ability to clear all yellow cards.
Best free casual games for iPhone
Tiny Tower
Tiny Tower is a really simple social management game with 8-bit-style graphics. Your job is to populate a tower with bitizens, assign them jobs relevent to their skills, keep their respective businesses stocked, and build more floors on top of your building. Over time, your bitizens earn you money which can be spent on purchasing new stock for various types of stores, or for putting the next storey onto your tower. You'll need to ferry bitizens from the ground floor with the elevator if you'll ever want to move new people in, plus once in awhile VIPs will provide you extra bonuses, like knocking off a few hours from your restocking time.
Tiny Tower occasionally gives you Towerbucks for handling the elevator, which can be used to hurry restocking, construction, or elevator upgrades. Towerbucks can also be bought through in-app purchases.
Draw Something
Draw Something is a hugely popular Pictionary-style game. You pair up with a friend, and one gets a word which they have to draw out, while the other tries to guess what it is. The one doing the drawing gets to pick one of three words offered to them, each with a different difficulty rating. The higher the difficulty, the more stars both players earn when successfully guessed. The guessing player has a limited number of letters to play with, which actually makes a Draw Something a bit of a word game, too. The funnest part is that you get to watch the replay of the other side struggling to guess or draw. Recently the game's been updated with the option to undo brushstrokes and the ability to share your painstakingly-drawn creations.
As is, Draw Something provides only a limited palette of colors, but you can buy more through in-app purchases. You can also buy bombs, which are used to offer a fresh selection of words if you're drawing, or eliminate letters to chose from if you're guessing.
GodFinger All-Stars
GodFinger is a fun little world control game where you tend to a little planet full of villagers. By spinning around a cross-section view, you make sure they're happy and productive, and check in on them time to time to collect the gold they generate. That gold goes to upgrading their homes which can house more people, who then, in turn, produce more money. Of course, you have to tend to their needs, like providing rain and sun for the farms, as well as altars to worship you from. To accomplish all of this, you do these gesture-based miracles, but they burn up Awe points, which regenerate over time, or can be bought through the app store.
Over time, you complete missions, gain experience points, and expand the surface area of your planet. You can have a lot of fun around your world by raising and lowering the ground, decorating the planet with appropriate and flinging your hapless devotees beyond the horizon.

Cut the Rope Free
Cut the Rope is a popular game that involves dropping a piece of candy into a hungry green creature's mouth by slicing rope with swipe gestures. While the candy's dangling and swinging, you use nearby tools such as magic hats and air puffers to avoid obstacles, like candy-devouring spiders and destructive spikes. If you can get the candy to pass through any of the three stars on the level, you gain bonus points and bragging rights, but they're strictly optional.
Though you only get 18 levels in the free version, the full version with 250 levels is only $0.99.
Fruit Ninja Lite
Fruit Ninja is a well-known slice-and-dice game where you swipe through various kinds of fruit as they sail through the air. You get bonus points for chopping through four or more fruit at once, but you have to make sure to avoid the bombs that get tossed in every now and then. Different kinds of bonus fruit can really help out, such as the freeze banana, which slows the movement of everything the screen, making for easy targets.
In the free version, you get Classic mode in which you only get to let three fruit hit the ground, but the paid version, available for $0.99, includes a Zen mode where you cut up as much fruit as you can within a limited time frame, among other game modes.
Angry Birds Free
Angry Birds is the quintessential physics game for iPhone, wherein a group a birds suicidally fling themselves into rickety buildings so that the pigs inside that stole their eggs can suffer a terrible, terrible demise. Every level you get a selection of birds that you slingshot towards structures at varying angles and velocities. The birds available each level can have different properties - for example, the yellow one dive-bombs when you tap the screen while it's in mid-flight, while the blue one splits into three. You're scored based on how few birds you use to clear the level, as well as how much destruction you cause in the process.
The free version of Angry Birds gives you a total of 24 levels, but you'll need to drop $0.99 in order to get tons more. Keep mind that there are a lot of different free versions of Angry Birds available, including a seasonal one, a space-themed game, and one based on the Disney movie Rio. Try 'em all if you're looking for variety.
Best free action games for iPhone
Jetpack Joyride
Jetpack Joyride is a side-scrolling evasion game with simple one-button controls and a great sense of style. You play as a rebellious bureaucrat named Barry who's tired of the work at his top-secret military lab, and decides to snag the company's experimental jetpack for a jaunt through the facilities. Holding your finger on the screen puts the gas on the jetpack, letting you elevate over obstacles such as laser security systems and incoming missiles. Along the way, you'll also be able to snag other experimental vehicles, including the Crazy Freaking Teleporter, and the Profit Bird which is powered by concentrated satire.
You earn coins based on how far you make it through, but can also pick up loose coins through the level. You even earn more through completing missions, like high-fiving the scrambling scientists on the ground floor. Those coins are spent on new jetpacks, outfits, and soon gadgets, all available through in-app purchases stored in The Stash. Of course, you can buy more coins through in-app purchases, too.
Temple Run
Temple Run is a dead-simple platform game where you sprint through ancient ruins while being chased by displeased spirits. You turn corners, duck under obstacles, and leap over pits with swipe gestures while collecting coins along the way. There's a bit of accelerometer control, so you can snag coins in the middle or to the left or right side of corridors by tilting the iPhone, but for the most part, you're just relying on twitch reflexes. Gameplay can be extremely bite-sized, but still amply rewarding.
The coins you collect while temple-running (or in-app purchasing) can earn you power-ups like speed boosts, new unlockable characters, and even exclusive wallpapers.
Cordy Sky
Cordy Sky is a jumping game where you're an adorable little robot trying to get from the ground of an alien planet to a docked spaceship so you can continue on your intergalactic mission. Small bouncy platforms aid your ascension, but be careful, otherwise you drop down to the bottom and have to start all over. Luckily, you have a fellow robot called Volt that can grab you if you drop too far, but only if you've collected the appropriate token while climbing skyward. Your trip is split up into five sections, the end of each being marked by a fuel cell you need to get the spaceship running again. Controls are are either through virtual buttons, tilt, or swiping.
As you go, you collect gears, which can buy one-time boosts, permanent power-ups, or vanity costumes. Of course, you can always just buy gears through in-app purchases, but you can get by perfectly well on your own. Despite the kiddy graphics, the game is actually pretty challenging at points.
Best free role-playing games for iPhone
Six-Guns is an open-world multiplayer western. You embark on missions for beleaguered commonfolk, handling the likes of bandits and supernatural nasties to bring some iotum of peace to the wild west. Combat is straightforward revolver shooting with a virtual joystick and a few buttons. You're rewarded for your deeds, of course, and can use the coin you earn to equip new weapons, fresh threads, and buy new horses to expedite your trips between towns.
In addition to being able to buy in-game currency through in-app purchases, you can also get Sheriff Stars, which access high-end gear and auto-complete missions, though you can also earn them through watching ads. You're even able to buy experience points and health boosts, if you're having trouble getting through a particular quest.
Star Legends
Star Legends is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online sci-fi game where you partner up with fellow intergalactic travelers to take on a variety of space menaces. You build an avatar with a few basic options, like hair style and face type, then embark on quests to earn experience points, level up, gain new abilities, and earn equipment. The social element is very rich, with full support for guilds, and plenty of common spaces. Every mission you play is automatically instanced, so others people freely spawn in to help you out. Daily missions, implant crafting, and a ton of people to chat with insure you'll always have a reason to come back for more.
Platinum is the premium in-game currency, and is shared across accounts if you happen to play Pocket Legends as well. You can spend it on vanity items, like fancy jetpacks and robot pets, but you can also spend the the coins you earn through regular gameplay to keep your equipment in good repair and up-to-date.
Zenonia 4
Zenonia 4 is a classic role-playing game with an ongoing over-arching plot from previous titles, top-down 2D perspective, and sharp anime-style graphics. Although it's missing the tried-and-true turn-based fighting you see in a lot of RPGs, the real-time combat keeps the pace fast and furious - especially in player versus player situations. There are plenty of quests to grind through, progressively earning you more experience points, cash, and gear, though dying reduces equipment durability and experience points, which pushes players into preventative in-app purchases.
Zen and gold can both be bought with real cash. Zen points are used to purchase expanded inventory space and special power-boosting gems (among other things), while gold buys more mundane gear. Some kinds of armor can only be acquired through player versus player battles, but it's entirely possible to stick solely with the single-player campaign.
Best free racing games for iPhone
Forever Drive
Forever Drive is a sharp, polygonal top-down racing game with a cool abstract art style. The controls are simple and fluid, with options for tilt, tap, or d-pad. You're scored based on how many stars you pick up and how tightly you hug highlighted shoulders, but don't get too wild; you have a limited amount of time to get through as many tracks as possible. That means you need to drive smart and avoid the civilian traffic that explode in a Tron-esque display if you so much as nudge them.
One of the core elements of Forever Drive is the track builder. It's pretty simple - you draw a line from one end of a square to the other, pepper some scenery along the sides, and the highlighted turns, varied elevation, stars, and extra traffic are added in automatically. You then have the option to share these tracks online, which then randomly compose the arcade mode of other players. When you play, you get fed a series of user-built tracks which you can rate up or down after you're done driving them.
There are also weekly leagues where you have a chance to win in-game currency, with which you can buy a few unlocks, but the vast majority of car bodies, variations, and paint jobs are earned by gaining experience points throughout gameplay. I was really happy with Forever Drive, and I'd go so far as to say it's one of the better games I found when hunting for the best free iPhone games out there. Definitely check it out.
Snuggle Truck
Snuggle Truck is a simple side-scrolling racing game where you're trying to drive a bunch of stuffed animals to the zoo in a pick-up truck without having them bounce out of the back along the way. It sounds like it's for kids, but the game was originally called Smuggle Truck, where the premise was to get Mexicans to America where a better life awaited them. Obviously Apple wasn't a fan, so the developer changed it up, though the core gameplay remained the same. You tap left or right to put your foot on the gas or back up, and tilt your iPhone to make sure your truck lands evenly when sailing through the air. Like Forever Drive, there's a treasure trove of user-generated courses, all ripe for the downloading and rating. You can build your own courses, complete with power-ups, obstacles, and waypoints where new fuzzy animals are tossed at you to catch in mid-transit.
Through in-app purchases, you can drive flashier pick-up trucks, but the vast majority of content is thankfully available for free.
GT Racing: Motor Academy Free+
Motor Academy Free is a more down-to-earth, mostly-realistic racing game. You earn coins by completing tours, special invitation events, and completing contracts. Starting off, there are a bunch of levels where you earn various licenses, which help you learn how to drive different classes of cars. Coins let you buy a variety of recognized brand-name cars, like Bugatti, BMW, Bentley, Jaguar, Ford, Chevrolet, and Audi. They even kindly give you the option to rent the car for a round if you don't have enough to buy it outright. Even this racing game has some RPG mechanics in it, including quests which you complete, and leveling up to unlock new cars and courses.
Coins are earned through regular gameplay, while in-game cash is mostly bought through in-app purchases, which you can trade in for new cars.

Best free iPhone games
Thanks! Gotta say, it was a learning experience writing it up. There were more than a few titles that I really liked that didn't make the list. Adding in new categories later on should give 'em some place to shine.
I have to agree- fantastic post! After spending a lot of time recently trying out all of the free MMORPGs, I have to say that Order & Chaos kicks butt all over the freebies, but SpaceTime Studios' games like Pocket Legends and Star Legends are definitely my preferred freebies of the genre.
Wow. Thank you for such a great article Simon!
Now if only we had more time to play games...
"Keep in mind that most titles listed here thrive on in-app purchases, so if that's not your bag, keep on looking"
Welp, these aren't really free games then. Title is misleading.
You don't have to make an in-app purchase. They relay on ego/impatience to encourage it, but you can play for free if you're immune to such human failings ;)
I was definitely hesitant to rely so heavily on IAP-supported games, but of the variety of free models out there, I've found that they consistently pump out the highest-quality games. Ad-supported games don't have great production value, and "lite" titles are really limited in their replay value.
I didn't mean to sound like that. I should've went through the games before making the comment. There's some interesting ones. I tend to favor paying upfront though.
I hear ya. When I was drafting the list, Leanna had to remind me at least three times that Infinity Blade II wasn't free. We'll have a straight-up "best free iPhone games" feature at some point, and I can guarantee pretty much all of them will be paid.
Now this is why this is the best iOS website there is. <-period
Super cool post and super duper cool pics, really liked the way you took the picture of iPhone with other older gaming devices.
And PUZZLE games, too, please. I'm currently hooked on Drop 7 but would like to know others.
Good call! I'll add it to the list, and would probably put Triple Town in there. It's more of a puzzler than a strategy game, no?
Puzzle is a great category choice; I would nominate Words with Friends Free for inclusion there, as well.
I think we're going to have a whole category dedicated to word games. Hopefully I can dig up some quality alternatives to Words with Friends...
To save you some work with the spade..
Have a look at my unique, recently released, rebus word game "d-pixing".
Prof Potts
That was a great post! Could you please do one of these, but for paid apps, not free? Thanks!
If you move Triple Town out of strategy, Civilization Revolution Lite is a great turn-based strategy game, even if the content in the free version is somewhat, well, light.
Nice, I got the full version when it was on sale awhile back, but I'll definitely check out the free one.
Omegapixel is also a completely free arcade space defense game. Highly polished and great fun, indie developed by just two guys:
zynga poker! ;)
Drop7, Harbor Master, Marple, Bike Baron, Trainyard, Blockwick, Aqueduct all have decent free versions though I have bought the pay version of all but one of them (Blockwick is IAP only so they can ____ off).
Awesome, thanks for the suggestions, checking 'em all out.
Niwuzzles, while not free, is a very interesting word puzzle game worth a look. I met the guy who came up with the concept, and I think they did a pretty good job of turning it into an app.
Great article. I didn't even know about most of these games. Guess I can kiss my productivity at work goodbye!
Zenonia 1-4 all have archaic controls
Great article. iPad version please.
I'm hooked on Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle for the North right now. Usually not into these types of games but this one has really hooked me in and kept me interested. Definitely a recommend.
Great post! Now I gotta make some room on my iPhone!
Thank you for the tips! Enjoying Spice Bandits right now and wouldn't have found it if it wasn't for your article. :)
If you're into simulation/time-management type of games--do check out Streetfood Tycoon!
Hero Academy is a good pick.
Valor HD is another pick I would have loved to see on the list. Awesome MMORPG.
great post
This was a great post. My favorite is Real Racing. I've been playing it since its debut on the original iPhone which I still have. I'm partial to racing games and this was the first mobile racing game that gave the same level of satisfaction I got playing on a console. It was so intense, that I'd play it in the morning at work to wake up instead of popping down a Red Bull. Also there's a free Real Racing GTI. I generally buy the full version of games to have the full package. It's not like I'm paying $60 for one XBox 360 title.
Who is doing your guys' photography now? It's getting a lot better, I really enjoyed all these shots
We all pitched in a bit here and there. The stuff with the old-school Nintendo and Game Boy was Rene, I did Six-Guns, Hero Academy, Draw Something, Tiny Tower, and Triple Town, and Leanna (the real pro among us) did a bunch of the others.
Great post! It seems to me from what you have pointed out these apps make use of intuitively-styled designs, various ways of utilizing the built in sensory feature and even social connections. All of which I believe to be essential to application adoption aside from their entertainment value. I am an aspiring app developer still trying to figure out what unique features users like and can be incorporated uniquely into my future apps. I would love to see a general or statistical analysis on the user types, profiles, as well as general feedback and on the use sensory technologies in response to each of these apps. Any suggestions? TY!

I have recently tried a game called tic tac toe Elite by Youxel , it's an amazing & very relaxing will put you in a whole different place Check it out : https://www.facebook.com/youxel .
Rage of Bahamut is definitely NOT one of the best free iphone games available (although it is free) - it does, however, satisfy that tiny niche market of 'games that aren't that great but you keep tapping anyway to see if you get a shiny new card' (yes, it is a dumbed down TCG). In spite of the utter lack of skill involved in its play, it is one of the most popular games on the Android system (and I think IOS as well, recent addition) - so for those who want to waste a bunch of time with nothing to show for it:
A couple of tips for new players:
- SAVE ALL HOLY POWDERS AND CURE WATERS (aka HP, CW) (don't mean to shout but these things are incredibly useful for bargaining for better cards, don't waste them to replenish stamina and attack which replenish over time anyway)
- Be careful of incoming trades at low levels (more experienced players will often try to make trades with newbies that are very unfavorable)
- At first, put most of your attribute points into stamina - this will allow you to level more quickly, don't really need to start battling other players until you have a decent deck
- SAVE ALL HOLY POWDERS AND CURE WATERS (aka HP, CW) (just in case you missed it the first time)
- Pro tip: When you're ready to start trading, go to "Battle Ranking" from the home screen and select the top-ranked player. In the support section is where most players buy and sell cards, items and rupies
- Need to earn some HPs/CWs/Rupies? some people will buy 'feeders' - save up your normal cards (or high normals) and sell them in the support section (discussed in the previous point) - rates fluctuate but you can sometimes get up to a CW or so for 9 normal cards
Hope these tips are useful - if so please use my referral code:
- this will get you a very decent Rare card to start with as well as a bunch of rupies you'll need for enhancing and evolving your cards (of course I'll also get a nice card :) )
Thanks for reading

Now that forest fires are in the news, someone noticed that President Obama has proposed a new way of funding wild firefighting. Instead of borrowing from its fuels treatment funds when the Forest Service exhausts its regular fire-fighting budget, Obama wants to let the agency draw upon a new "special disaster account" that is "adjusted each year to reflect the 10-year average cost of responding to such events."
Treating excessive firefighting costs by giving the Forest Service more money makes as much sense as attempting to suppress forest fires by throwing gasoline on them. In case you don't hear the sarcasm, it makes no sense at all.
Obama is focusing on the wrong problem, the drawdown of funds intended for fuel treatments. The real problem is the incentives the Forest Service has to spend wildly on firefighting.
As far as I know, no democracy has given any government agency a blank check to accomplish any goal–except the Forest Service for fighting fires. Even the Pentagon was given budgets for fighting World War II, the Cold War, and other wars. But in 1908, Congress gave the Forest Service a blank check for firefighting, saying the agency could spend as much as it needed to suppress fires, and Congress would reimburse it later.

I've been watching that new NBC show, "Revolution" and, is it just me, or has anyone else noticed a lot of Stephen King related comments and situations? For instance, in one scene, the lead character, in response to a request for his name, says "I'm Stu Redman, and this is Frannie." Who are, as we all know, two main characters in "The Stand." In another scene, in a comment regarding prison, he says, "They're gonna Shawshank you!" Again, Stephen Kings creation; Shawshank Prison in Maine, in "The Shawshank Redemption." Not quite as blatant, a woman works on a computer in an attic, when we see only the rundown cowboy boots of a guy walking up to and into her house. She's terrified, and types, "Randall is here!" Need I say more about a guy walking in cowboy boots, named Randall, striking fear in peoples hearts? The final thing that caused me to start this thread was tonights show, where the characters find a group of orphaned kids, and one guy is not comfortable with this group and shares his trepidation to a woman, who says, "they're children!" To which he replies, "Yeah, children of the corn!"
I have not heard of Mr. Kings involvement in this show, and I have looked, but this a little coincidental! Maybe the writers are King fans, I don't know, but has anyone else noticed this, or perhaps knows something about this highly unusual circumstance? Let me know if youu have any info, or if anyone has noticed any other references that I missed. I look forward to other views on this!

Relson Gracie Promoted to Redbelt
This last Saturday, April 6, 2013, Rorion Gracie promoted his younger brother Relson to 9th Dan Redbelt in Graice Jiu Jitsu. Following the promotion ceremony at Kaiser High School, Relson led a seminar for those in attendance.
I did a search and didn't see this anywhere else on the forum, so if someone else did post it, don't scream "F you noob" at me. If no one has posted this earlier, then WTF? The second oldest son of Helio gets promoted to redbelt and some blue belt lurker is the first to break the news on Bullshido?
Admin note: Admonishment received. We will be doing the Shrimp of Shame across the floor in shame as pennance.

Local bands join for Oct. 6 'Idiots With Instruments' benefit concertWritten by Matt Liasse | | email@example.com
The Eight Fifteens are excited to perform at "Idiots With Instruments" because of a connection the band has with The Village Idiot.
"That is really where it all started for The Eight Fifteens," wrote guitarist and vocalist Josh Q. Whitney in an email. "It is more than a bar; it is a community of people, a family that cares for one another."
Twelve acts will perform from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Oct. 6 at The Village Idiot, 309 Conant St. The show is open to all ages and will showcase talent from Maumee and Toledo that have played and still play at The Village Idiot.
"We are very lucky to have a large group of musicians in this town that, instead of stepping on each other to get ahead, help and respect one another," said Whitney, who coordinated and helped plan the event.
This is the first time for the show but Whitney hopes it will not be the last.
"I have been tossing the idea of a music fest around in my head for a little while now — to get local bands with originals and covers to perform a 'Toledo Woodstock,' if you will," he said.
Nicole Khoury of Arctic Clam, who will perform at the show, said The Village Idiot is the greatest place in town to have a musical event and Toledo musicians are second to none.
"To be part of any event that combines the two is always top on our priority list," Khoury said in an email.
The show will include Evan Bates, The House Band, Barile and May, The Killer Flamingos, Andrew Ellis, Old State Line, Bob Rex, The Eight Fifteens, Mike Fisher, Clarence Clamwater, Arctic Clam and Dooley Wilson. Each band will play 45-minute sets. There is a suggested, but not required, $5 donation at the door. Checks can be made to "Idiots With Instruments Trust Fund" and mailed to 3818 Frampton Drive, Toledo, Ohio, 43614.
"Old State Line is proud to be considered part of the Village Idiot extended family," Larry Meyer of Old State Line said in an email. "There is a sticker on the door that says 'Be nice or go home.' A lot of great people pass through that door, following that simple rule, and we're happy to be part of that, let alone this amazing lineup of talent."
Clamwater is looking forward to the show.
"Any time this many musicians get together and bring this many genres to the table, good things happen," he said in an email. "It's great for the community to gain exposure to the local music scene and it's always a blast for the musicians."

If Tim Cook and Larry Page are indeed talking peace, as Reuters reported this morning, the implications could be significant. Apple's iOS and Google's Android are fairly comparable (which is not to say identical) application platforms that cover just about any functionality a user might need. They are, however, only somewhat interoperable.
If you are like me, you have your feet (or hands or head) in both circles, aware that the Venn intersection is fairly small. Gmail works seamlessly with Google calendars, but not the iOS calendar app. Music purchased on the iTunes store is now readily accessible on iOS, but only through arcane third party apps on Android. If you have both kinds of devices in your household, or if you're an Apple hardware loyalist who likes Google's desktop apps, you're in a bit of an awkward position.
I find myself between that rock and hard place. As a digital creative, most of my tools are native to Apple hardware, but for productivity, I like the speed and simplicity of Google's apps. This is the point of view from which I looked at this morning's "peace" report. Why can't they just get along and make my life easier?
But although developers can package web standard code into native applications in many ways (see my quick synopsis of contemporary mobile app development methods, courtesy of General Assembly's Peter Bell, here), consumers cannot really use apps on different platforms in a seamless way.
So here's a request to Cook and Page. Make peace by making some foundational standards that both platform's apps will comply with. And while you're at it, bring Microsoft and Amazon into the discussions, as well. What consumers want, and what Apple and Google for the most part deliver, are things that just work, without much explicit configuration.
"Convention over configuration," is a motto of agile web developers, and Apple and Google could take that advice. If our everyday personal data, email, browsing history, app local storage, music, videos, photos, etc. were encrypted and portable to any "modern" device, then our hardware decisions could be unhinged from our software platform decisions.
As long as hardware serves as a "lock-in" for software it will really be impossible to tease out the patent tangle. Apple built iOS out first, but Google jucied Android's growth by making it free to hardware manufacturers. Those are two distinct strategies to build essentially the same thing. Apple emphasizes paid content and Google makes its money on advertising supported services. Again, two ways to do the same thing. Add Microsoft and Amazon to the mix and you have potentially four branches of flow for the same kinds of information and functions.
This diversity is good for users, but the lack of interoperability serves as an excess friction that is holding back even greater growth. It is unclear from the Reuters report how far-ranging the discussions between Apple and Google are at this point. Between Apple's win against Samsung and its reduced reliance on Google's software in iOS 6, the company is in a position of strength.
But the case can be made (in fact, I have made it) that Google's data platform is, ultimately, superior to Apple's. All of the user interface design magic in the world can't hide the fact that Google Now gets it right more often, and in many more situations, than Siri. And that is just one example. If consumers prefer Google's platform (as they have shown in terms of Android's market share, patent considerations aside), then the way forward for Apple's continued growth is through cooperation, not warfare.
Over all of this, like a Shakespearian ghost, Steve Jobs' memory hangs like a disapproving fog. Does that matter? Can the new leader liberate himself from the previous leader's grudge? The next act is about to begin…
