Best android game thus far ?

Due respect to ANGRY BIRD fans, I was pretty bored doing the same thing at different angles, with little else to control. FRUIT NINJA is not much fun on small screen, may be galaxy tab/ i-pad offer a great experience. RAGING THUNDER 2 is a decent car racing game, but having played a better car game in NFS2 more than a decade ago, Raging Thunder 2 offers very little excitement to me. Now, leave out the many word games, very basic DOS type games - SUPER MARIO kind. Casual games like PAPER TOSS is superb timepass, But wont really qualify as a game. I was soon back on the android market searching hard for a first of its kind game.

Finally a chance download brought me to WINDS OF STEEL DEMO. A realistic flight simulator for a WW2 plane with some cool controls & shooting options including a ultra cool dogfight campaign. Needless to say, I am truly madly deeply addicted. Last clocked 79000 points on the dogfight equal to 40 enemy planes shot with my lone fighter, with attacks coming in waves of upto 4 planes at a time.

Can we have AOE ported on android, may be a mini version?. Well, the closest I have found to a strategy game is a tower defence fame - ROBO DEFENCE. Each game lasts atleast 15 mins & reward points earned for victories can be redeemed for ugrades to higher levels. Neatly done!.

HOME RUN 3D is another game I am enjoying over the last couple of days. My endless search for a decent cricket game, ended with this one. Hand eye coordination based controls, very closely mimic the way cricket or baseball is player is unique selling point here.

I am still with free games only, any good ones any of you have come across, please let me know soon.

My Wishlist

  • Mortal Kombat or any similar fighting game
  • Any 2 player game that two android phones can play against each other over wifi, especially tennis/ ping pong between android phone & laptop talking to each other on wifi
