Pokémon Go , friends. Pokémon freaking Go. What can we really say about this one? Nintendo have been trying for decades to get us gamers up off of our big ol’ hairy sagging-over-the-edges-of-the-couch-cushion butts, with Wii Sports and the like, but Pokémon Go was the one. Go was the game that got us walking our dogs for the first time in four ye
What makes Mobius Final Fantasy such a stellar mobile game? It’s remarkably faithful to the mechanics of the franchise, for starters; a dungeon-exploring RPG with levelling and customization governed by the job system. Some compromises had to be made when translating these elements to the hardware, but this is a real technical achievement right here. Especially when you consider the quality of the visuals. The game’s a solid 10 on that score and as any Tinder user will tell you, you don’t meet many
Elder Scrolls 6 may be fading from minds until Bethesda shows more Call of duty mobile its hand, but the franchise still has more to offer like The Elder Scrolls: Blades . First available as an early access title, this game provides a fairly straightforward action RPG experience set between the events of Oblivion and Skyrim , though its overall structure does somewhat seem limited by mobile devices. Yet, despite technical limitations, players find themselves in yet another chapter of the Elder Scrolls franchise, and it seemingly does its best to show how much mobile gaming has gr
You know who does seem to have embraced mobile gaming lately (at long freaking last)? Nintendo, that’s who. A year ago, the idea of a Mario title for phones would have outrageous, unthinkable blasphemy, but Super Mario Run is now a thing. As is Nintendo/DeNA collaboration Fire Emblem Her
While it looks more like an SMG at first glance, the HVK-30 is a full-blown assault rifle. Due to its small size, it is very mobile (76). Its fire rate is also very fast (71). It’s the ultimate run-and-gun weapon, and a very accurate one, at that. Players who aren’t as comfortable exposing themselves to enemy fire will be happy to learn that the HVK-30 is effective at medium to long-range,
“The D.I.C.E. Awards are VERY important to me. I have been playing video games since there were video games. I hope there is some type of Dovahkiin Shout that will make sure I don’t mess this up. I will find one! If not, I’ll just look like a psychotic, screaming a**hole leading up to the Awar
Ranters, are there any games that you think the AIAS has unfairly overlooked? Do you find any surprises among the nominations? And who would you pick to win the major categories? Let us know in the comments be
As AR games become more and more popular, it’s not really surprising to see major franchises step into the genre. One of the biggest this year was Minecraft Earth , which brought the popular IP’s block-building mechanics to mobile devices, but it’s more than that. There are other things to do like collect Minecraft animals, not completely different from the popular mobile ARG Pokemon GO , but it all feels uniquely Minecraft . It’ll be interesting to see more mobile ARG games and advancements in the future, but there’s little doubt that fans would enjoy playing Minecraft on the
The QQ9’s base stats are fairly impressive, especially when it comes to mobility (102) and fire rate (82). This SMG works best at close to medium range. Given its mind-boggling mobility, this weapon should suit anybody who enjoys the “run-and-gun” playstyle the most. 40-rated accuracy is the biggest issue COD fans have with the QQ9, but it’s nothing that a few attachments can’t
Also one of the best-looking video games of 2019 , Sayonara Wild Hearts describes itself as a “dream arcade game about riding motorcycles, skateboarding, dance battling, shooting lasers, wielding swords, and breaking hearts at 200 mph.” If that sounds wild, the game itself also proves to be a tripe as the heart of a young woman, the balance of the universe, a diamond butterfly, and a masked biker all come together to tell a story that is unique in its platforms of cho
Hearthstone is one such example. A collectible card game from Blizzard based around World of Warcraft lore, it’s become a multi-million player phenomenon as well as a popular eSport. Gameplay is similar to Yu-Gi-Oh , seeing players take turns to summon monsters to attack their rival’s units, with the ultimate goal of depleting their avatar’s life. With an unrivaled sense of progression and the lure of new cards, Hearthstone is a mobile title with an absurd lifes
Beyond subscription services and general advancements, the mobile industry has a lot of room to grow. It’ll be interesting to see where mobile games go in 2020, but for now, here are the top 10 mobile games of 2
Physics-based games are nothing new to the mobile world, and even absurd physics-based games are not. Yet, What the Golf? is a natural evolution of this classic style and allows players to golf a number of items, from the classic ball to a house and even a horse. For those interested in the brand and style this game presents, it’s worth mentioning that it’s advertised as a golf game “made by people who know nothing about go
