In this showdown of three quiz games, Ben Stein takes home the prize

One of the great things about rounding up a group of like-applications is that after a while it often becomes obvious which is the best among those apps—it’s the one you keep returning to, to “test” some more. Which is what happened when I was assigned to test a trio of iPhone trivia games. I kept returning to Ben Stein: It’s Trivial. The $3 game from Griptonite Games is the most fun of the three I tested. And it seems to be literally less trivial than the other games. The questions and answers are interesting, and there’s a goal, achievable by any player: steal Ben Stein’s stuff.
