I know I pay a hefty bill per month for this phone thing but damn if the apps are so good that I waste my battery using them instead of the phone!

MotionX Poker is, put simply, the most addictive game I’ve played so far on the iPhone. Most people are familiar with poker dice: you roll five dice over three turns and try to make various combos. Unlike Yahtzee however, you’re playing against a dealer so you’re trying to beat it.

MotionX Poker is $4.99 in the app store and worth it, completely. I seem to continually review apps that I love but the simple fact is this: I buy thing that I know I’ll continue to play in six months when I have downtime and I wind up loving them so much that I just want to share. You know what apps you aren’t going to buy already so why not just show you the absolute necessities for your iPhone, huh?

There are three tables to unlock once you start earning money in the game, dozens of cool-looking dice and achievements or “gems” to uncover. Allover, MotionX Poker is one of those apps where you need to click the link at the top once you’re finished this paragraph, spend the $5 and play until you need a recharge (then play some more). ~~Zack Shapiro
