Topic: Your Top 10 Mobile/Tablet Games?

RR529 · 2014-07-29T03:27:46+00:00

I know mobile platforms get a lot of guff, but if you dig through the dirt, there are always gems to find (as the Wii taught us, a platform's worth isn't determined by it's worst titles, despite their numbers). My list may be a bit dated (my iPod Touch died in 2011), but I hope others can find fun in these titles, or even share their own favorites. 10. N.O.V.A. - I never actually beat this one, which is why it's so low, but it had quite high production values for a mobile title, and it was a quite fun classic style FPS. 9. Action Hero - Normally I'm not into runners (not being captivated by Jetpack Joyride or Temple Run ), but for some reason this one resonated with me (maybe it's the fact that you can actually attack certain obstacles). You're running on top of a train (kind of an old west feel), with an up swipe to jump, down swipe to duck, and tap to punch. It also has a bevy of achievements to keep you playing. 8. Paper Toss - This is the very definition of a time waster, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Your goal is to toss a wad of paper into a trash can, and it grips you with that "just one more time" mentality. 7. Spikey's Bounce Around - This is a "flinging" game that features around fifty levels. Your goal is to fling your character around a stage (avoiding obstacles along the way) collecting all the butterflies within (you also have a limited amount of bounces, that change, depending on level). 6. Samurai: Way of the Warrior - This is a hack & slash title, set in ancient Japan. It features fully polygonal 3D graphics (uses an art style similar to Okami ) in an overhead camera. It gets a bit repetitive as time goes on (as is common for the genre), but it uses a control scheme suited for the platform, and I had fun with it. 5. :SHIFT: - This is a fun little puzzle platformer, and despite having a more traditional control scheme, they tailored it to this platform quite well, making it work a bit differently than usual. It actually started out as a free Flash game, but I felt that a measly $1 to have it on me at all times was fair. 4. Tetris - It would be awfully hard to mess up Tetris , and sure enough, it works fine here. There's not really much that needs to be said here, other than it's just good ole' fashioned fun. 3. Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles - This is actually a DS port, and while I imagine it would be better on it's original machine, I wouldn't completely count this out. I never felt the touch controls really held me back, and it was a fun puzzle platformer with some action thrown in (not to mention it's full length). 2. Resident Evil: Degeneration - Graphically this may not be that impressive anymore (looks a bit better than a DS game), but don't let that turn you off. While it lacks any sort of blood splatter, it casts you in the role of Leon S. Kennedy as he searches for survivors in a zombie infested airport. You never know what's going to be waiting for you around every corner, and you better think carefully with your limited ammo. 1. Chaos Rings - A JRPG built from the ground up for the platform, it intuitively uses the touch screen controls perfectly, and the production values are top notch, going far beyond what you'd expect from a mobile title. The story has quite a bit of mystery to it, and if you take the time to play as all four teams (each have a unique storyline), you'll finally get to see the big picture. So, what mobile games have impressed you?

Hi, guys. I wonder if anyone knows some places where i can find reviews and other info on mobile games that are actual games. I mean those that actually was developed for people to play and not just put money into. Like Knight Of Old Republic, Chaos Rings, Zenonia etc..

Most of the stuff on mfigames.com is good. Or anything that has been in any of the Humble Android bundles is a decent proper game. (And when I have tried it better on iOS e.g Super Hexagon).

Freedom of the press is for those who happen to own one.

When it comes to mobile games that support physical controls, will any PC or Android controller work, or does it depend on the game?

The reason I ask is because a local second hand shop has a couple of old Logitech brand PC controllers (for dirt cheap, obviously), and I was wondering if it'd be worth grabbing them to see if they work (should be getting a Galaxy Tab 3 by the end of the month, BTW).

Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)

I know im probably crazy, but HOW has no one invented a bluetooth contoller for ipad/android tablet that is standard for games? Would love to play games on tablet, but touchscreen controls typically suck. My favorite so far have been:

Walking Dead
Sam and Max
Osmos
Back to the Future
Broken Sword
Final Fantasy Dimensions (loved this)
Machinarium
Great. Big War Game (i think thats name, like advance wars)
Layton Brothers Mystery Room
Toki Tori

These games were all well suited for touchpad. Dimensions took some getting used to, but it was ok.
