You can download and buy almost any game within any genre for your iPhone or iPad and you will almost certainly find options that keep you entertained for hours on end or for when you have a few spare minutes. We have reached the point where the most difficult aspect of iOS gaming is knowing what to choose and so here we present a selection of the very best titles from a variety of categories
to get you started. For very little money you can have hours of fun no matter where you are.
Alto’s Adventure
Alto’s Adventure does not look like a special game on the face of it, but the implementation and subtle gameplay ensure that you can play it in a variety of ways. Whether you are trying to reach a specific goal or simply want to fly through the air, this is a thrilling and calming arcade game that
works on every level. Summary One finger gaming just became a reality. A brilliantly absorbing game.
F1 2016
A true arcade experience on a phone? F1 2016 delivers this with stunning graphics, decent AI opponents and a career mode that is truly deep. The best feature of all though is the precise turning, breaking and strategy you need to use to be the best which makes this feel like a console quality title in your hand. Summary A wonderful racing game which feels bigger than the device it plays on.
INKS.
INKS. stands apart purely for the way it is presented and the organicfeeling animations which genuinely make you feel as if you are filling the playing surface with ink. Imagine pinball married to throwing paint on the floor in a very defined way and it is still hard to work out what it is, but it is
a superb experience. Summary This is a buttery smooth visual feast with deceptively simple gameplay.
Plague Inc.
Oh my. Your task is to destroy every living being on earth and if you succeed you will actually find yourself feeling good about what you have done. It sounds ghastly, but there is a huge amount of strategy involved in succeeding in this game and the end result is an absorbing classic that will grab you and not let go. Summary A fantastic strategy game which involves destroying the world!
Pokémon GO
How could we not include the game that took over the world for a few months and which is still played by millions of people every day? Pokémon GO truly does marry your phone with the real world and as time goes by, you will still feel the need to collect as many as you can. A brilliantly
put together game. Summary Bring the outside world to your phone and enjoy new experiences.
SpellTower
Not all great games need to be based on amazing graphics and speedy animations because sometimes you just want to take a moment and play with words. In SpellTower you will find yourself taking many minutes looking for one word and then blazing through a series of solutions that will make you feel great. A classic word game for everyone. Summary One of the best word games available on any platform.
Really Bad Chess
It sounds impossible to take a game like Chess and make it play in a completely different way that still feels familiar, but the developer has done so here. In this game Chess becomes more accessible to people who struggle to play it and the number of different elements on show makes it potentially a
very important development. Summary It’s hard to believe that Chess has been tweaked this way.
8 Ball Pool™
iPhones connect us to our friends and colleagues with ease, but the very best games can connect us to people anywhere in the world. This style of gaming feels more realistic and personal than simply playing against an AI opponent and over time you may find yourself getting more than a little involved in trying to beat a stranger. Summary A simple pool game that stirs the emotions.
Space Age: A Cosmic
Adventure Mobile games are typically considered to be of the genre where you can play for a few minutes and then put them down again. Space Age, however, will take you through a journey that is
varied, at times perplexing and always interesting. It is a true adventure game with lots of personality thrown in. Summary It will take many hours to navigate through the wonders of Space Age.
Threes!
Originality is the name of the game here because it feels like a completely new gaming concept that others are already trying to copy. It’s a simple tile game offering a highly impressive environment
to play in and a mechanism which makes it one of the most addictive gaming experience anywhere. You won’t be able to put it down. Summary Numbered tiles have never been this much fun.
