iConquer Addiction
I've been playing iConquer lately (just google it, I'm too lazy to paste the link). I had a really fast 36-hour addiction. I still like it and might spend the $13 bucks. Basically it's a Cocoa Risk clone that makes it really easy to play. You can play against AI or other players over the network. I haven't really tried playing against humans yet.It's not super-fun with the size of the countries as they are - about 40-45 total in the world. The basic problem is that it doesn't feel like there's very much strategy. If I get good, I should be able to win consistently, but there are some games where I beat everyone, and others where I just never seem to have a shot. Feels a little bit too random.
Still might be fun to play with friends though, I'm waiting for Damon to fire it up and challenge me to a match before our trial periods expire.
