Mobile Gaming

I'm sure most of us have a smart phone or a tablet, figured this could be used to keep us all informed of the games we play on those devices, heads up on sales, or anything related to the devices.

I have an iPhone 6 and a newly acquired iPad air 2. Games I play are dragon Quest 1 and currently Infinity Blade. Both great games. DQ can be a bit tough since it gives you almost zero hints on what to do, but that familiar level grinding love is the core of the fun. I'm really at a loss as to what I'm supposed to do next in the game though.

I liked Infinity Blade quite a bit. My mobile gaming nowadays is pretty much nothing but Solitaire and Threes.

As much as I use my cell phone, I usually just drowse the web on it. There are a few games I liked:

Threes!: Cute artstyle, great music and addictive puzzle gameplay. My favorite mobile game ever.

Cut the Rope: Another fun little puzzle experience. Great fit on a touchscreen.

Monument Valley: This reminds me of Journey for better or worse. Great art direction and a minimalist story. While I'm hard on Journey for it's lack of gameplay (and rightfully so), this sort of simplistic gameplay makes more sense on the phone because they typically work better than something more complicated.

Otherwise I mostly play stuff like scrabble and wheel of fortune with friends or sudoku by myself.

I rarely play games as well, but with the new iPad i might play more. There are a lot of good games that would be great games if they were played with a controller.

Seaboards is pretty fun for those that like Animal Crossing, but it might be iOS only.

Infinity Blade has a really cool concept. It's neat getting to the last boss only for him to kill you, and you start 20 years later with a son going in to avenge his father. Eventually I'll kill that bastard for killing my dad and all of my grandpappies!

I really can't understand why Infinity Blade gets such high marks beyond having relatively good graphics for a game on a cell phone. I tried it a couple of times because of all the hype, it felt like one big QTE-fest, and I ended up deleting it from my phone.

I really like Infinity Blade. I just think the concept is great, and it is basically a medieval Punch Out with touch controll and RPG elements. Beat the first one earlier and downloaded the second that I got for free a long time ago. Bought the third one while it was still .99 cents.
