The Three-Game Strategy

I keep talking about how people should have as little apps on their phones as possible, keeping only the apps they use on a regular basis on their home screen and apps they use occasionally stashed away, either hidden on a second page or hidden entirely [through the magic of libhide]. One thing is making it incredibly hard to do: the insane amount of awesome iOS games coming out these days. So here’s an attempt at keeping the number of games on my device down to three: the three-game strategy.

Why three?

  • One game must be playable one-handed* without accelerometer input (for when I’m standing on the bus)
  • One game must be playable two-handed without accelerometer input (for when I’m sitting on the bus)
  • One game where anything goes (for when I’m at home)

I’m not sure how long I can keep this going for, but it’s worth a try.

And if you’re looking for recommendations for each tier:

* This implies portrait orientation, since my thumb can’t reach the opposite end of the screen when in landscape.
