Storm Raiders

Stormraiders Stormraiders is a flying game based on WWII. It is expensive at €5.50 but is a great game with stunning graphics and gameplay. There aren't very many missions when compared to the price but there is many other modes such as last man standing and capture the flag. There is also online multiplayer. There is no virtual money in the game that you need to earn. You unlock planes by completing missions. This makes the game quite basic in many way but there will hopefully be more updates with added missions and interface. But once you enter a mission the graphics an are seamless and responsive.

Jetpack Joyride

Jet pack Joyride Most of my post have been about prequels or sequels, but jet pack joyride stands, for the moment on its own. This timeless and addictive game which is free and gives you unlimited hours of fun. The missions which are not too difficult yet not too easy when completed give you coins. When you complete all the missions you get a badge. Again there are enough badges to keep you going for a lifetime. It is a similar game to Temple Run in the fact that you can run/fly indefinitely. You can use the coins to purchase new jet packs, clothes, upgrades and the relatively new feature gadgets. Different gadgets would help you with different missions. For example if two of your missions were to collect to collect coins and tokens then you could equip the coin and the token magnet. The game is defiantly one of the simplest yet enjoyable of the old set of original games that have been around for a long while.

Asphalt 8

Asphalt 8 Airborne Asphalt 8, the long awaited sequel to Asphalt 7 Adrenaline. And it comes with the usual incredible graphics improvement. The asphalt line of racing games have always had the most cutting edge graphics in racing. The car tier system that sorts the cars from 7 has changed to a class system in 8. There is a new race mode called infected which when you are hit by an infected car or if you are last car you get infected and turn green. A timer then starts and you get infinite nitro. You get more time by hitting and infecting other cars.

Plants vs Zombies 2

Plants vs Zombies 2 is a worthy sequel to the original game. It keeps the origanal controls etc. but adds new things like matching game levels and levels where you just have cannons annd you have to shoot pirate birds. There are three worlds, Ancient Egypt, Pirate Seas and Wild West with hopefully more coming soon. The game starts with you going back in time in search for Crazy Daves Taco. The game then progresses between the three ages. There are new plants and zombies which I wont go into as there are many. There is also new power up that allow you to destroy zombies by pressing, pinching or flicking them. There is is also a new plant food option, you earn plant food by killing green zombies and it allows you to make one plant go into overdrive and destroy loads of zombies. And the great thing is that this game is free unlike the original game, a move from Pop Cap games that I'm sure will will pay off with download numbers.

8 Ball Pool

8 Ball Pool is the app version of that online pool game. There is on an online tournamment option or just an online game. You can also practice offline using the pass and play feature or the offline quick fire. The game has made seamless adaptation from PC to touchscreen and the controls are simple but effective. There are power ups you can buy like side spin and extended guidelines. The game is really fun and simple.

Real Basketball

Real basketball is a simple but fun game like a flick kick game but you throw a basketball. There is a power bar at the side of your screen and you try and stop your slide while it is in the green. There is four modes, tournament, arcade, time attack and single ball. You can also buy all stars and block. Coins are earned in the form of MP and can only be got by getting very high scores in the diferent modes. However the game is still great wihout any MP and it is free.

Agent Dash

Agent Dash is ba game quite like Temple Run but instead of tilting to collect stuff you swipe between three lanes. Like temple run you collet gems instead of coins and films instead of gems. There are four boost options. Jetpack, slow-mo, cloak, and magnet. There is also an airdrop you can buy which drops you further into the game allowing you to skip the easy bitof the game. Best of all this game is free.
