F
ive years can be a very long time in technology. If in 2008, you had talked about mobile gaming, people would have thought that you were either referring to portable consoles or basic Java games. Fast forward to today, and there are many who firmly believe that mobile devices have not only made portable consoles obsolete, but are also threatening PCs and full-blown consoles. The reasons for this are many: the smartphone revolution, significant improvements in hardware (we are talking of quad core processors and full HD displays on handsets already) and better connectivity, which enables consumers to download and play even hefty games on the move. But perhaps the biggest contributor to the mobile gaming revolution has been the emergence of games that have changed the very concept of gaming. Titles like Angry Birds, Temple Run and Cut The Rope have shown that clever and addictive gameplay are more than a match for cutting edge HD graphics. What’s more, these games are now spreading across platforms, letting users get a slice of gaming action, irrespective of their device or location. Today, if you are looking for a few thrills on the move - be it through a high-octane shooter, a simple word puzzle or maybe even a game of football - all you need is a decently specced smartphone or tablet. And if you have one - be it Android, iOS, Windows Phone or BlackBerry - just turn the page to discover the titles that will turn it into a real gaming beast.
