148apps - I’ve recently found myself addicted to playing online Texas Hold ‘Em. I’ve always played the occasional game of poker with friends over the years, but until a couple of days ago – after a recent trip to Las Vegas – I never tried playing online. It didn’t take more than a couple of games to feel hooked, though. Considering my recent discovery of the absorbing world of online Texas Hold ‘Em, I was excited to review Zynga Poker.
Whether on iPad, iPod or iPhone these 10 terrible iOS games should just be avoided.
Chris Buffa (Modojo): One of the best things about owning an iPhone or iPad is the overwhelming amount of free content you can download, including video games.
FOR 19-year-old student John* (not his real name), nothing beats playing a few rounds of Zynga Poker on social-networking website Facebook after a long day of lessons.
In fact, the second-year polytechnic student adores the online game so much, he spends close to $50 a month to support his online hobby.
"I pay to buy extra virtual currency because I enjoy playing in high-stakes poker games. That's why it's very easy for me to lose all of my virtual chips quickly," said John, who has been playing the game since early 2009.
He is not alone. Singapore is placed at the top of a list of six countries' average spending per person on gaming in general, according to Money Online Global (MOL), which operates MOLPoints, a virtual currency that can be used to purchase game credits for social gaming.
