Play Billiard Action (E)(Trashman) Online

Billiard Action on the DS is basically pool, but with a little extra chaos thrown in. You’ve got your standard 8-ball and 9-ball modes, but there’s also this weirdly fun "Action" mode where the table tilts and obstacles pop up—like someone spiked your coffee mid-game. The controls take a minute to get used to (stylus aiming feels awkward at first), but once it clicks, sinking trick shots is weirdly satisfying.

Graphics are simple, but the physics actually feel decent for a DS game. Don’t expect realism—sometimes the balls bounce in ways that’d make a physics professor cry—but it’s got that arcade-y charm. Perfect for quick sessions when you’re waiting for the bus or pretending to listen to someone talk.

It’s not gonna replace a real pool table, but for a pocket-sized distraction, it does the job.
