Try Turning to the Classics
-
Classic games had it all: catchy gameplay, excellent music and most of all they were quick to play and didn't take long to beat. Many older titles for consoles, like the Sega Genesis and NES, only take 30 minutes to a few short hours to beat. This means you can squeeze in a quick play session before you go out to eat or get ready for work.
A lot of retro titles are inexpensive, so if you have the means to play one, it's a sound investment. Of course, if you don't have an older console, never fear; many older titles are being remade and rerelased on current platforms.
Try Downloadable Titles
-
Many hand-held platforms, such as the PSP, Nintendo DSi, and iPhone/iPod Touch, allow you to access an online store where you can download games. Many of these games are quick, short and fun. They also install right on your console or a memory card, cutting down on load times and the need to swap discs or cartridges.
Diner Dash, Bejeweled 2 and more are available, depending on the platform. If you're a PSP owner, you even have access to the PSOne Classics collection at the PlayStation Store which allows you to download original PlayStation games right to your memory stick.
Try WarioWare
-
Although it's exclusive to Nintendo consoles, WarioWare games are as fast as they come. Acting more as a series of minigames rather than one long title, WarioWare is frantic and fun.
The Wii and DS versions of WarioWare take advantage of the motion and touch controls of each console. This means you'll have to waggle your WiiMote and tap your touchscreen in various ways to beat each game. The WarioWare franchise is highly praised by gamers and critics alike, so don't miss it if fast games are for you.
