Surely trying tons of apps, listening to music or watching videos on your mobile can be really fun, but when boredom strikes you know you want to try a cool game or two.
But for some reason, what’s popular on PC or on the consoles isn’t necessarily a bit hit on the Android Market under the games section. Here’s a guide on a few good games everyone seems to enjoy. You may also like 20 Awesome Free Android Games.
First and foremost of course, Angry Birds is the app with the most downloads, surpassing everything else right now on the market. I’m not talking about games alone, but also pretty much any other application.
The game is easy to learn, hard to master, and is based on some physics simulations with a bit of thinking that needs to be added in the process.
Join the chicken army as they attempt to free themselves from pig tyranny, in hundreds of puzzle levels of increasing difficulty. Slingshot birds with various “special abilities” and take down those laughing pig bastards.
Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Rio are follow-up games, just in case you finished every single level in the original game with maximum stars and points several times.
Air Attack HD makes you a fighter pilot who blazingly takes out everything in his path. What make this game really good are the really nice, crisp graphics and sounds, combined with easy and responsive controls.
Air Attack HD is really similar to old arcade style games, but it brings a new twist to it with an updated look and feel. Even the music is cool.
Gun Bros follows the adventures of two mercenary soldiers in a top-down two player co-op shooter. Yes, that’s right, this game, although it works singleplayer, is best played co-op with a buddy that has another Android phone.
Again tons of maps with various regions just await your strong arm and gun, and there are plenty of bad guys to use it on.
Fruit slashing fun all the way baby! Or: how a simple idea can become a great game. Just like Angry Birds, a huge part of this games’ success is probably due to the wide range of player crowds that it draws. Kids and adults, boys and girls, everyone that I’ve seen so far enjoys this game. In a limited time, nice, juicy fruits are being launched towards you from the bottom of the screen. They fall shortly thereafter, presumably due to gravitation. Your purpose in life is to slash as many fruits possible in as many ways as possible. You can do combos, have bonus point multipliers, and so on and so forth.
The game doesn’t just offer a Time Attack Mode to slash as many fruits as possible in a set time, but also spices up things a little with other modes of play. For example, a mode introduces some sort of a bomb, which is being thrown at random intervals towards you the same way fruits are. You need to avoid that bomb, but still get as many fruits as possible. Slash it and it will go off… with a nice game over message.
Cheryl Cole may not need a parachute, but this guy does. As our little guy falls, it seems like all the obstacles in the world get in his path. Also, his fall speed appears to be varying quite a lot – maybe the winds are to blame. One thing’s for sure though: he keeps on falling.
The game cleverly uses the built-in accelerometer and bi rotating, twisting and turning your phone you will achieve the impossible: prevent our main character from getting stuck in something, and help him in his eternal free-fall quest.
Levels will get harder and harder as there will be more and more obstacles on the way and he will go down faster and faster.
Yes you! Take a snapshot of your friends. Now import it into the game and have their head shoot through a canon. The game is not as nasty as it seems; each level is a logic puzzle, characters are cute and hand drawn rather than taken from a horror movie. Bottom line, the game is equally suited for your girlfriend and for you!
