Friday, November 7, 2008 at 6:38AM Are you a pinball wizard? (sorry) Well if you are, and you happen to own an iPhone, you can now enjoy pinball on the go. Zen Pinball brings pinball (minus "tilt" hijinks, somewhat surprisingly) to the iPhone with a realistic playing field, and few nitpicky issues:

Knots consists of twisting your fingers to place each finger on a colored circle on the screen, then Knots adds another circle, or removes one of the existing circles, forcing you to lift a finger (it makes more sense when you see it in the video below).

Cameraman includes over 70 images, and you must race against a timer to find the five differences between two different versions of the same photo.

The short constantly looping music will drive you batty though. Turn it off, and enjoy:

Even if you're trying to figure out if you've found true love with a quick round of she/he loves me, she/he loves me not. Here's a look at iChoose:
