Imagine spending 3-4 hours a day playing a game on your PC or console, everyday. How many of you can say that you have the time to do it? Now imagine having to wait 10-15 minutes for a taxi somewhere alone with nothing to do, would you use this time to play a game? Most people would answer "yes" because there isn't much else they could do with that time anyway.Now count all of the people you know that have a PC powerful enough to play recent games, all of the people you know that own a console and add them up. Compare them to all of the people you know that own a cell phone or better yet try to find someone you know that doesn't. I hope that now you've realized the reach and extent of this new market. Practically everyone in the developed and developing worlds owns a cell phone these days, and since they already own the hardware why shouldn't they make the most of it.Mobi le games are cheap, easy to learn, fun and addictive, easy to play for a while and then leave them and go do ...

The Playstation 2 classic comes to mobile phones. Of course the idea is nice but the games are hardly comparable both in graphics and gameplay.The story of the game is that of the struggle between lord Cain and his pet dragon against an evil Empire, know as, well .. "the Empire". Phone games aren't much on story anyway, especially platform arcade ones.The graphics are about what you would expect from a platform action game, the only real complaint here for me is that the backgrounds are very repetitive and lack diversification in an area, for instance the whole "Silent Forest" area is just green grass with rocky background, no trees, no bushes, nothing.From a control point of view the game is medium to hard to control because of the different keys it uses, practically using every key on your keypad at some point and so it's hard to combine all of them.A nice feature of the game is that it alternates land battles using Cain with aerial battles using the dragon, so while on land it...

Burning Tires 3D

It's 3D and it's a racing game! That alone would make a lot of people buy it. However I should advise you not to get overwhelmed by your instinct in this case. The game lacks a lot in comparison to other mobile racing games.The 3D engine is nice and looks ok, not great, just ok, all of the cars and the tracks are seriously unrealistic which makes us put this game in the arcade category. There isn't a lot of variety when it comes to environments though, just 3 types are present: desert, lava and ice.The cars are varied enough not to get bored of the game immediately. You start with one car and need to unlock the others as well as a few extra game modes. However the controls of the car are horrible! Once you press your directional key left or right you feel like there's nothing stopping your car from moving, no friction, no drag, nothing.Also the music is the same on every track and not very well suited for this kind of game, making the game feel even more repetitive and boring wh...
