iPhone games to play with your girlfriend

This isn’t what I’d call a definitive list, but if you want to try to defend your choice to buy a iPhone instead of buying your significant other bling here’s a couple games to buy.

Wurdle
Word games are good for relationships. They develop your vocabulary, which in turns allows you to communicate more easily with your significant other. Let’s face it, you need all the help you can get.

Wurdle mixes smart touch screen controls with engaging gameplay, providing hours of challenging word creating excitement. You’re given a small, medium, or large field of letter tiles to play with, and your choice of time limits in which to create as many words as possible.

Lexitron

Lexitron is another word game, only this one turns up the heat a little bit. No more 6×6 or 8×8 letter tile boards, instead you get 6 letters in a line, and two minutes to make at least one 6 letter word and as many other words as you can.

You can think of this game as that rocky phase in your relationship when you and your girlfriend realize you are two very different people with very different interests and priorities. Communicate or die (relationally speaking).

Hangman

Speaking of death, there’s nothing quite like a friendly game of Hangman to liven up an evening. The Hangman app on the iPhone/iPod Touch is actually pretty slick, despite the annoying ad bar on top. Along with classic two player gameplay, it offers the classic dictionaries to pit yourself against on your own.

Sudoku

I threw this in on the foundation of watching my roommate and his girlfriend curled up on the couch staring at a Sudoku book for hours on end. My girlfriend downloaded MMGG’s (Mighty Mighty Good Games) Sudoku from the app store just last week and we had a lot of fun with it, so that’s the version I’ll recommend out of the many different Sudoku apps available.

Remember guys, you’re not just cooperatively solving puzzles to exercise your brain; you’re learning to work together toward a common goal. That’s what good relationships are built on.
