Zombie Takeover

Sure, we've all got time to kill - but are killing enough time for the undead?

Zombie Takeover is one of those resource management, time-based games in the same vein as FarmVille; you allocate coins and gems to make certain enhancements (which in turn make you more coins), but everything takes a preset amount of time.

The game contains some RPG elements, where you buff up your zombie army (and later vampire army, and werewolf armies) and then battle pesky nearby humans.

Graphics are in the range of the undeniably cute, which is a great fit for the device.  Give this game a shot (it's free, after all)!

Temple Run

Temple Run is a free, iOS game available for iPhone or iPad.  You play an unnamed adventurer on the run from guardian monkeys who are chasing you for stealing their prized gold idol.

There is no substantial objective to the game, but to run - through the temple - Temple Run thusly being a fitting title to the game.

The game has upgrades you can purchase by collecting coins during your runs through the temple, most of which enhance your ability to run further and collect more coins.

While the game itself certainly has the potential to become repetitive, it is surprisingly addictive to try to make it further and further.

If you've got an iDevice, and want some fun, no nonsense gameplay, check out Temple Run.
