I'm not a massive gamer, I leave that to my son. However I do like the odd iOS game thanks to the fact you can pick it up and play pretty much anywhere you want. Unfortunately some of these little games are addictive as hell and take up way too much of my work time.
So enjoy 5 of the most addictive iPhone games that I'm digging right now:

Sure, the iPhone is great for work and all, but what we really love it for is to have fun. With the amount of games and accessories that are found for the iPhone, it's an easy thing to spend plenty of money on. We really love the ones that take it to the extreme.
From the maker of iHelicopter is a new iPhone controlled car called the Stunt Car Racer. It uses the iPhone's accelerometer to control the car.
Check it out in action:

Besides this video trailer and the official teaser website, we don't know anything about Angry Birds Space, except it's probably going to be a massive hit again...

Now the team is looking to expand on its success with the new iCADE 8-Bitty game controller. Like the original iCADE, the wireless gamepad sports a familiar retro look and will work with a number of iOS devices and games...
It looks like we may never be able to trust the legitimacy of an impressive Game Center account ever again, thanks to this new jailbreak tweak from Ingmar Stein.
Aptly named Overachiever, Stein's new tweak allows users to earn Game Center achievements without actually playing the required games or levels...
If there was any doubt about Apple's intentions to push further into the mobile gaming space, the company just put them to rest. 9to5Mac is reporting that Apple has just added a former Xbox LIVE executive to its team of talent.

A few weeks ago we told you about an interesting job listing that hinted that Microsoft was looking to bring its Xbox LIVE gaming portal to iOS. The listing called for a developer to help the company port its LIVE gaming client to Apple's platform.

Folks who use Steam, the popular game distribution platform for the Mac and PC, will be happy to hear that there is now an official iPhone client available in the App Store.

A quick heads up for iPhone gamers out there. EA announced on their site earlier today that the legendary game Tetris is Starbucks' Pick of the Week.
