Clash Royale Review (Gionee Marathon M5 Mini): Arcade Meets Strategy and Some Addictive Multiplayer Action (Video)

You’ve all heard about Clash of Clans, but when Clash Royale came out of nowhere, people were suspicious about it. Was it a strategy title? Some sort of arcade 3 vs 3 action game? A weird new hybrid? It was a hit, that’s what it was and Google acknowledged it by awarding it with the Play Store Best Game of 2016 distinction. And we review… 

Angry Birds Action Review: Rovio Enters Pinball Arena, Fancy Pinball That Is (Video)

With Angry Birds the Movie now in cinemas we were obviously expecting a tied in game and that game is actually Angry Birds Action.

Hopeless 2: Cave Escape Review (Sony Xperia Z5): Lovable Creepers are Back, This Time in an Endless Runner (Video)

We tested the first Hopeless game here and we had a blast with it, but the gameplay was rather limited. You sat in the dark and waited for the bad guys to strike. Now, that game has been turned into an endless runner, dubbed Hopeless 2: Cave Escape, that’s shown in action below. We reviewed it on the Sony Xperia Z5, in case you’re wondering…. 

Xenowerk Review (ASUS ZenFone Zoom): Console-Level Third Person Shooter, a Bit on the Repetitive Side (Video)

While playing with the ASUS ZenFone Zoom, we also had fun with the game Xenowerk, available for free in the Play Store. It’s a third person shooter, with graphics good enough to have made it viable on the PlayStation 2 and first Xbox. The game involves an Ellen Ripley-style character from Alien, who’s fighting… you guessed it, aliens…. 

Alto’s Adventure Review (Gionee S6): Like Ski Safari Met Monument Valey and Took Itself Very Seriously (Video)

We’ve played our share of side scrolling endless runners, but Alto’s Adventure is definitely special, on account of going the extra mile to deliver superb artwork. We played it on the Allview X3 Soul, aka the locally integrated version of Gionee S6 and had a blast. Launched in February 2015 on iOS, the game feels like an artsy Ski Safari… 

NBA Live Mobile Review (Samsung Galaxy A7 2016): Most Fun I’ve Had With an EA Game in a Long While (Video)

Look, I’m a FIFA fan, a huge fan actually and I was surprised at the quality of the game NBA Live Mobile, that I played on the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2016).

Small and Furious: RC Car Race Review (Allview X3 Soul Mini): Relative Physics, Relatively Fun (Video)

I’ve played my share of games with crash test dummies and strong car impacts, but Small and Furious: RC Car Race is one of the simpler ones. It’s available for free in the Play Store and I played it on the Allview X3 Soul Mini handset. It’s a side scrolling car-based endless runner, only that it’s segmented in levels, that have… 

Order & Chaos 2: Redemption Review (Xiaomi Mi Pad 2): Solid MMORPG, Almost Like a Mobile World of Warcraft (Video)

I kept hearing about the MMORPG Order & Chaos for years now, but I finally gave it a go a few months ago. I played Order & Chaos 2: Redemption on Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 and this Gameloft title is available for free in the Play Store. Launched in September 2015, the game got a big update in February 2016, so that’s exactly why I tried it out…. 

Rayman Adventures Review (Sony Xperia Z5 Premium): Platformer Meets Two Minigames and Sidekicks that Feel Like Pokemon (Video)

Rayman Adventures is the third big Rayman title exclusively made for mobile by Ubisoft and available for free in the Play Store.
