Because of the popularity of my Top Ten Must-Have Free iPhone Apps, I’ve decided to put together yet another top ten free apps list, but this time entirely games. Some of these you may have played, some you may not have, but all are awesome and free. These time wasters are sure to amuse you for hours and hours on end.

1. Mancala FS5 Free
   This is by far the best online-player board game available for the iPhone. It allows for single player, two player on a single phone, and multiplayer via WiFi (there’s a world-wide leader board!), local networks (bluetooth or wifi), and AIM. It even allows push notifications so you can invite a friend to play. I’ve easily clocked more time playing Mancala FS5 than any other iPhone app.
2. TapDefense
   Anyone who loves flash games on the Internet has probably lost hours of their life to one defense game or another. TapDefense is no different. This highly addictive tower-style defense game is fun, challenging, and offers a huge amount of variety in levels, playstyle, and challenges. No two games are even completely alike.
3. iMafia
   There are many types of MMORPG-style games available on the iPhone, but the ones I liked the most are by PlayMesh. They make at least a dozen variations, be it Ninjas, Wild West, Warbots, etc, but they’re all very similar in playstyle. If you enjoy online gaming for your computer, this is a must-have time waster for your iPhone.
4. Sol Free Solitaire
   Hands-down the absolute best solitaire game available for the iPhone, paid or otherwise. The interface is extremely intuitive, it keeps in-depth statistics, and there are a nice variety of solitaire games to choose from.
5. Paper Toss
   This game seems extremely easy and boring at first glance, but for some reason I just keep coming back to it. The concept is simple: Flick a wad of paper in to a trash bin compensating for a fan blowing one way or another. It seems simple, but it’s harder than it looks, even on the easy level. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.
6. Enjoy Sudoku Daily
   It took me a while to find a Sudoku game that is easy to use and offers great features for both novice and advanced players. This game does exactly that. It offers eight different levels from “Just Starting” to “Fiendish” and has a very intuitive hint system, should you get stuck on the tougher levels.. The only downside is that the free version offers only 1 game per day per level, but that’s still 8 games a day.
7. Fish Food Frenzy
   You’re a tiny fish. The more fish you eat, the bigger you get until you can eat bigger fish. Sounds easy, but this game is extremely challenging and is an absolute blast when using the accelerometer to move your fish around.
8. Checkers FS5
   Brought to you by the same folks that did the Mancala FS5 that I’m so hooked on, this is the best checkers game available for the iPhone, allowing you to play against the computer, against a friend, or online against the world.
9. Unblock Me
   What’s a top-ten game list without a puzzle game? Unblock Me is extremely simple to play, yet each level offers different challenge. Just move the blocks around until you can get the red one out. With 400 levels, this will take you quite some time to beat.
10. JellyCar
    This driving-platormer looks like it was drawn by a four year old, but the goofy graphics somehow just add to its charm. Drive your car through the various worlds to try to reach the exit. Careful, though, it can sometimes be trickier than you’d think.

As always, I hope you’ve enjoyed this list and maybe even found some new games to play. Got any games you felt deserved to be on here that I missed? Feel free to share them with a comment.
