must be spent waiting for the games to load. That said, there are a few games that fit perfectly with the pick-up-and-play theme:

Lumines

Obviously, puzzle games are perfect for the busy gamer It is a simple matter to turn on the game and get in a few levels with a minimum of available time. As a bonus, Lumines is simply one of the best puzzle games on the market.

Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee

Another great entry in the Hot Shots Golf franchise, Open Tee is a great and challenging golf offering.

NBA Street: Showdown

The portable version of EA's addictive sports title is nearly as good as the console versions.

THUG 2: Re-mix

This is one of the titles I play the most for on-the-go gaming goodness. It is easy to turn it on for a few minutes and take a run at another goal or a high score in Classic Mode.
