There is a wide variety of games for the Android platform, a lot of them from EA Mobile division. Whether you are looking for fun games to spend hours on or just a viral one to waste a few minutes, there is probably something for you. Do NOT waste your Money on CRAP Apps and Lets hit play!
Angry Birds
Angry Birds made a huge splash when it launched as an ad-supported, free version of the viral iPhone game. This is the projectile-bird-based third-person shooter (well, it is one really) where you have to kill pigs because they stole your eggs. Who thought an animal cruelty game would be so popular?
Also Check Out: Angry Birds Seasons, the Hallowe’en/holiday-themed spin off game. Its very similar to its iPhone version so check out my review of that over on iPhone.AppStorm.
Price: Free (ad-supported)
Need for Speed Shift
Need for Speed is one of the top choices if you want to kick back and enjoy some virtual driving. Its had success on multiple platforms, most notably on high-definition consoles like the PlayStation 3, but also runs on Android. Strangely, there are several versions you can choose from so you will have to play about a bit on the online marketplace to work out which one your device supports.

Price: €3.77
DoodleJump
While Angry Birds has continued fanfare on Android, the other viral game that came across from iOS, DoodleJump, does not. This very popular game acts just like its iPhone counterpart, where you move an avatar up a never-ending screen themed in one of several ways. It hasn’t had as many installs as Angry birds, but that’s probably due to it being a paid app.
Also Check Out: Mega Jump not exactly a rip-off of DoodleJump, but it is free.
Price: $0.99 (USD)
Fruit Ninja
Fruit Ninja is yet another iPhone-convert that has seen success on the Android platform. In this game, you slice fruit in order to avoid losing. Like Angry Birds, it’s a time-waster app that provides no constant gameplay but is fun nonetheless.
Price: $1.19 (AUD)
The Sims 3
The blockbuster PC game hit mobile back in 2009 and brings a mobile-optimized gameplay experience. If you have ever played The Sims for PC, you will know the scenario: you have a Sim person and you guide it through life. The gameplay is not quite the same as the full-blown desktop game but at a 12th of the price, you cannot expect much else.
Price: €3.77
Uno
Uno is one of Gameloft successes on Android. It brings the classic card game to your phone and allows you to play multiplayer against both local contacts and over the net.
Price: $2.99
Tetris
Tetris is EA’s Android-optimized version of the highly-popular retro game. This version brings EA’s high quality gameplay and graphics to Android devices and can provide hours of fun with several different game modes.

Price: €2.15
Game Dev Story
A game about developing games, who would have thought it? Game Dev Story is the pixel-art game that’s already sold tens of thousands of copies on Android. The idea is you are trying to develop a hit game and manage all aspects of its development from hiring staff to developing your own games console.
Price: ¥400 (charged at £3.03 in the UK)
