2 Player Battle -No Wifi Games

2 Player Battle (part of the Offline Games collection) is a fantastic 'party-in-your-pocket' app. Its greatest strength is its simplicity and the fact that it requires absolutely no internet connection. The app is a compilation of mini-games designed for two people to play on a single screen—one player on each side of the phone. Games like Ping Pong, Air Hockey, and 'Spinner War' are brilliantly optimized for touch controls.

The minimal graphics are a smart choice, keeping the focus entirely on the competition. It even tracks scores between rounds, making it easy to hold a 'best-of-seven' tournament while waiting for food at a restaurant or traveling. If you don't have a friend nearby, the AI is surprisingly competent, but the real fun is the 'ruin your friendships' nature of the local multiplayer. It's an essential utility for any social person's phone.
