Who knows what you will get for Christmas, but it’s not very hard to guess that a sizable group of Ubergizmo readers will end up with a brand new Android device this month, and when that happens, you may want to download a few games that will put the new phone through its paces. We’ve been digging around, and here are three top titles that we think should be in every Android user wish list:
Each camp has their own array weapons and tools. For example, the police can use spike strips, roadblocks or a high-tech EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) to shut down the opponent’s engine. The criminals get to use an “overdrive” mode that temporarily boosts the car’s speed, electronic jamming devices and even oil slicks! What can I say, the good old tricks always work.
Of course, there are many cars to choose from on both sides. I liked driving the Police Nissan 350Z, or the Racer Mazda RX8. If you are on the road and just want to play for a few minutes, there is a quick race mode. If you are lucky enough to own a powerful phone, you may be able to play at 60 frames per second!
If for some reason Need for Speed hot pursuit is not available on your phone, we recommend checking Asphalt 6 or Bang Bang Racing.
Most phones that are “gaming-oriented” or just beefy can get a 30-60FPS frame rate, so it is very playable, and everything reacts as one would expect. The audio aspect of the game is also very good. This is an aspect that is often forgotten on mobile games because the speaker sound-quality isn’t so great – but users do have headphones too…
If you are a fan of first-person shooters, this is one of the best that is available on Android. If for some reason, Shadowgun is not available on your handset, you may want to check Modern Combat 2 or NOVA 2 HD, which also looks very nice.
