If you’ve never played The Sims before, it’s a strangely addictive game where your job is to control the lives of little digital people. They’re not sitting ducks like the islanders in Pocket God… instead they live in houses, like normal people. They also have friends, enemies, personalities, jobs, stomachs to fill, and bladders to empty, and you’re responsible for ALL of it!
Veterans of The Sims game franchise know these responsibilities all too well, and if you’re one of those people you’ll be happy to know that Electronic Arts has done a pretty kickass job of translating the Sims world to the iPhone. There are lots of differences between PC Sims and iPhone Sims, the most noticeable change being that you only control one Sim on the iPhone as opposed to an entire family, but the core of the gameplay is definitely there. Your Sim can meet other Sims, talk with them, make out with them, slap them around, pee on the floor… you name it.

I’ve always wanted to be a crook but I’m too pretty to go to jail, so I’m getting my jollies through Mafia Wars instead. Zynga’s role-playing masterpiece is already a huge hit on the social networking sites and it’s finally available on iPhone.
In Mafia Wars you do “jobs” (ie: pulling heists) for cash and experience, and as you level up in experience you get rewarded with stat points. Those stat points get spent on whatever character attributes you want to build up. You can increase your stamina which helps if you live to brawl with other players, you can build your “secret skills” which are basically extra attack/defense stats that are hidden from others, or you can do what I do which is dump all those points into energy which means you can do more jobs and earn more money. In this game, cash is king (at least it is to me!) and it goes a long way towards turning you into a powerful crimelord.
