Weekend fun: Tablet, Ipad and phone games.

The Weekend started 1 day ago and I planned this this week, all about gaming on tablets and phones. Why?  You're waiting for a train/bus/plane and got nothing to do. I've been there, you've been there, We've all been there!

So Grab your phone/tablet/Ipad/whatever and get ready to check out games you "need" on a rainy day, or when you're bored!





Let me start it all with the "story" in tablet/phone games, in the early 90's we didn't have much, I think it was mostly the usual "card"-games digitized into the "small" objects .



BUT WAIT! Tetris was the first game on a phone, and the phone was: Hagenuk MT-2000, year 1994 . Truth be told, you could kill people with the phones back in the days, now we're killing the phones by just touching them! (yes, looking at you IPhone.).








Nokia launched Snake (the best game EVER on phone) on the selected models in 1997. Snake and its variants has since become one of the most-played video games and is found on more than 350 million devices worldwide.

And as the years passed, the phones got more and more advanced and could handle more demanding games. 






Now let's get to the games you "need"!

The games I'm recommending is available on all platforms: Ipad/Tablet/Phone (NOTE: often you need the newest OS on phones to make the game works, so some older phones it might not work.) It will be a hard decision to choose which ones to recommend since there is a lot of them out there, especially top 5.

1. Angry Birds "series"

Angry Birds is one of the "Most needed" for tablets and phones, the hours of fun you'll get from throwing the birds into their certain death just because some pigs wanted some egg with their bacon? The story is simple, kill all the pigs and wreak as much havoc as you possible can while you're doing it! Quite addictive game and the other games is really giving you the same good feeling every time! 
From the original Angry Birds to Angry Birds in Space.

2. Infinity Blade I and II

All right, I have to add at least one action-genre game and i pick: Infinity blade! The infinity blade is one of the best "hack 'n slash" game I've touched on a tablet/IPad, the story isn't the best but who cares! The way you are attacking and defending yourself is really neat and what annoyed you at the first game is now "fixed/removed" from the sequel. The level system is not the typical kind to get the set amount of XP for your character but by giving XP to your gear. Level up your weapons and armor to get stats like Health, Attack, Block and Magic. A true RPG-Hack and slash. ME LIKES!

3. Minion Rush: Despicable Me

Minion Rush is pretty much the same as Temple Run, but I feel this game is really more fluent and better in pretty much everything as you feel you're actually achieving something. Besides who doesn't love those stupidly funny loyal minions with all their randomness and doubtful clothing.

You can compete against friends to see how can go the furthers (Highscore), buy upgrades and boosts. You have small missions to do while you're running and knocking over those minions on the way gives you combos, so whatever you do, go for them!

4. Triple Town

OK this game is one of the new ones I'm addicted to. It's a puzzle game where you need to build up your town to become a "city", There is all sorts of combination to get to the "higher tier" of items, which the top tier is a floating-castle. Watch out for those bears, they are really an annoying part which you need to figure out what to do with. Combine 3 Bears into a church and combine churches into monastery which then into a chest, which can be combined into a bigger chest!

They give you free turns and a 24 hour timer until it is refilled. Might be the best thing to do for me at least, it's really addicting!

5. XCOM: Enemy Uknown

At the price of 20$ you'll get bang for your buck, hours of gameplay and a lot of planning on how to attack the enemy. Customize your squad from Race, Gender and even looks! You have different classes, weapons and Armor. With all the options you have this is really a game you should try out sooner or later, because you will regret nothing as you see that RPG shot hitting 3-4 aliens and making sure of a great victory!

The story is simple, your team detects an alien movement in the middle of the city and you are there to protect mankind. As you go deeper into the days spent, you will research more about the aliens and their technology to get the upper hand and hopefully; send them home in a body-bag!






Allright! now this is all the games I could gather up as i felt was my "top 5". Think some games are better than others? Feeling some games is not really that impressive or want to see more? Feel free to Comment and I'll look into it!

KEEP ON GAMING!
