Video games are not my forte. Â My brother Alan, the accountant, is a video game whiz. Â No matter what the game, he’ll beat it. Â Me; well, with the exception of Super Paper Mario on the Wii and Super Mario on the Gameboy DS, I don’t think I’ve ever sat through a long video game.
Enter Risk.  If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a strategy board game that lets  you take over the world–or any map.  I actually haven’t played Risk, but a company called SillySoft makes a Risk game called Lux.  Boy, is this game addictive.  It takes between 5 minutes (if you’re playing a map with bad players) and hours to play.  Because the online game is networkable, you can play with your friends over the internet.  Very nifty.
Anyway, they make an iPhone version of the game, too, and it’s just as much fun (though a little more difficult to play).
