    I just love Pick up and play type games and it's getting to the point where I really want polished graphics, openfeint or similar, achievements,....etc


    Picked up Canabalt recently but with no global scores, even though I love the game, it loses it's "addictiveness" faster than it should with no Global Scores or achievements.

    So I am looking for the best of the best in pick up and play type games that deliver the whole package...


    Anyone have some suggestions ?

    Meteor Blitz is a good one to get if you don't have it already. It has achievements and almost no load times.

    Run! Its amazingly addictive.

    I am beta testing the update right now, and the designer has succeeded in making it even more addictive by: (1) picking up the pace and (2) adding a new mode for folks that want an immediate challenge; (3) adding new obstacles that also look well done. But dont wait, Run! is a gem as it is.

    For me, there is only one real option when I get the urge for quick addictive fun....Skee Ball. Leaderboards, Achievements, great polish and even rewards for your tickets.

    I can play a game in less than a minute or two, like while waiting in line at the supermarket, or a few games while on break at work!

    Shotgun Granny, just give it a 'shot' and you shall be addicted, at least I am.
    AstroBlast, I've gotten more openfeint achievement points from this game then any other.
    Laser Core, good pick up and play action, achievements, and global HS.

    all clockrocket games :D
