20 Great Games for Android

Get your game on!

The quality and quantity of good mobile games is on the rise as players and game devs continue to push the boundaries of what's possible on a mobile device. Quirky indie games and innovative touchscreen mechanics coexist side by side with tried and true game formulas and even full on ports of classic PC and console games. Google Play is a crowded games marke though, so we'd like to help you make sense of things by recommending twenty of our favorite free and paid games for the Android platform.

    I am disappointed by Android/iOS games. There're two types:

    1) Thumb-controlled shooters. Shadowgun, MC3, whatever, same story. Feels super awkward and I keep cursing at the controls. People who manage to hook up game controllers pwn everyone else straight away.

    2) Touch/shake based. Instead of coming up with an interesting idea and then finding out how to implement it on a device, they see what a device can do and develop idea around that. That approach sucks. Fruit Ninja, Angry Birds... all boring BS.

    My Windows Mobile PDA had much better games. Awesome RPG (no, I am NOT talking about thumb-controlled slasher you find on Google Play if you search for "RPG"), RTS, TBS (Heroes of Might and Magic? Hell yeah!)... something that a mobile platform is much better suited for. Where are all these games?
