BOOM. You're done. iPhones try to act like it's "just a website bookmark" because they want everyone to go through the App Store but really it functions just like an app... Full screen, moveable icon on your home screen. All of it.
Enjoy.

This is the latest game to take over the family (and invade my dreams). Do we like it ironically? Maybe I guess, but the boys have stopped asking for "blood games," and after everybody goes to bed, I kick back, put on a podcast and spray down playground equipment.
Not sure how the tournament scene is going to develop here, but sign me up.
Oof this is a sticky one! It just got a free expansion and a markdown on Switch, so I jumped in and I'm having a hard time turning it off. I'm a sucker for turn-based RPGs, and the little bite-sized battles, the huge diversity of units and tactics, and the slow progression of stats across games are just lovely.
The boys and I can play this one for hours- I think they're grabbed by throwback theming. It's quite a thrill when we can clear a level. Not great for the ol' blood pressure, though.
Looks like I'm the Jagged Alliance 2 guy here- there's usually a person or two on Twitch running through it if you ever want to check it out. There's also a great book about its development process. It's an isometric turn-based shooter with some sim elements, and it fully colonized my brain for a few years. You control a squad of mercenaries in a series of battles around a fictional tropical island, and everybody has fully-acted and lightly comic voice responses to everything. Cheap on Steam and well worth it.
Goldeneye is the elephant in the room here, obviously, but Perfect Dark perfected so much of it: better single-player, deeper multiplayer. This one replaced Goldeneye as the go-to multiplayer game in my dorm.
There was some sort of You Don't Know Jack-adjacent game that was popular in my college dorm for a few months, and it ran an ad for Blade Runner *incessantly*. Liking Blade Runner was a big part of my personality back then, and I couldn't wait for it to come out. The point & click format was a great way to open up the Blade Runner world.
