Mobile Games Have High Entertainment Value

By Jason Phillips


Mobile phone gaming has evolved to become more sophisticated than it was years ago, with the increasing growth in technology. Many popular video games are actually now available as mobile games. What has been the game changer though, is the fact that the Apple iPhone, as well as other very popular console games such as Fifa, Call of Duty and Need for Speed can now be enjoyed on mobile handsets.

When it comes to mobile games however, the games with versatile play options and impressive visuals, do not have to be the most popular ones. In fact, the mobile games that are very popular, cannot boast of having these attributes. With mobile phone gaming, the games that can be played very quickly as well as frequently enough to allow the user to form an addictive experience, become the most popular. Here are three of the more hugely popular mobile games.

Bejeweled: This is a classic favourite and a very basic game in and of itself. All players must do is match gems across a set of horizontal and vertical lines. Ever-present pressure is produced by severely limited playing time. Nevertheless, Bejeweled is hardly a complicated game and features no dazzling graphics. Despite this, it already boasts over 150,000,000 downloads throughout all playing platforms ever since initial launch of its browser-based version back in 2001.

Angry Birds from Rovio has been almost as successful as Bejeweled in the mobile gaming market. The game is available for play on Android and iPhone. Game play is simple. The goal is to destroy the pigs by using a sling shot and angry birds. Gamers are so addicted to this title they have downloaded it over a 100 million times across the various platforms available.

Tetris: This game has been in existence since 1984 and is the oldest of the three. It is similar to Angry Birds, in that it is also a puzzle game. The game has a large following on the Nintendo platform, and has now become extremely successful on mobile phone devices. It is also one of the few mobile games that has been downloaded over 100 million times.
