Quickie Review: Tilt Snake

Snake is a classic arcade game, but I remember it most on my old Nokia 6150. I was rocking that phone at the end of the millennium and my absolute favorite feature was the Snake game. And now, I can relive that joy through Tilt Snake for the iPhone.

The game is exactly the same as I remember, except it runs off of the accelerometer. So instead of clicking arrows to move left, right, up or down to eat the little dot of food, you tilt the entire phone. And as always, you have to avoid your tail--otherwise the game is over.

I have to admit, I had a bit of trouble at first using tilting to maneuver the snake. However, once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. But as the snake gets rather long, it can be difficult, just like the original game.

Tilt Snake is another simple and free game, but I definitely recommend downloading it. Once you get the hang of the tilting, you'll be good to go to have some serious fun. Plus, it's frustrating and addicting, which seem to be my two favorite qualities in a game.
