When I was young I would go and watch my dad bowl every Wednesday night for his bowling league. One night he bowled a 299 and became the superstar of the bowling alley. He taught me how to bowl, but I never matched my dad’s bowling status, despite the many lessons. Well, now I can become that bowling champ in a different way: with doodle bowling on the iPad! The game features 13 different themed backgrounds, 3D physics, online leaderboards, and Facebook integration. Forget that heavy, cumbersome ball.

As far as I can tell, there isn’t a real game of doodle hockey yet in the App Store, so this will have to do. And do it does. Air Hockey doesn’t involve intricate play books, body checks, and missing teeth (thank goodness), but it does involve suspense, strategy, and a lot of fun. Air Hockey was practically invented for doodle graphics, and this is one of the better ones. With six difficulty stings, multiple pucks, cool doodle graphics, and special doodle effects like flame and smoke trails, Doodle Hockey is a good pick up and play sports title.

I think I’m the only person I know who hates golf. I hate to watch it, I hate to play it, I hate hearing other people talk about it. Golf video games are a different story, however. There’s nothing better than chilling with a well-made golf title in a well air-conditioned buddy’s house with a well-stocked refrigerator. Let’s face it: Doodle Golf won’t blow your mind if your used to playing Tiger Woods on the PS3 or Xbox 360. What it does offer is a fun line-drawing golf game that will have you golfing around doodles. Backgrounds range from Legos and sea creatures to cobblestone roads and sky doodles. There are four difficulty levels, fifty courses, and fifty medals. At .99 cents you really should check it out.

Trophy rooms, tournaments, fifteen lakes to unlock, advanced fish AI, and a lot more make this one of the most complete fishing games in the App Store, doodle or otherwise.

Skiing at it’s doodliest. Doodle Ski is a never-ending style of game that has you skiing down hills and running into bad guys like angry penguins, angry yetis, alien attacks, avalanches, rockslides, and fog.

With tilt controls in tow, Doodle Ski will keep you busy–at least until the resorts open.
