Games people play on the cellphones

Mobile phones fill a unique niche in your gaming needs: because you carry them around with you at most times, they are right there when you need to kill a few minutes at the bus stop or when you are waiting for an appointment. In recent years the number of mobile games, both freeware and commercial, has exploded.

Freeware games are easily available on many websites. The files are tiny making them convenient to download and install even if you don’t have much memory. The range of games is immense: but board games and puzzle games like Sudoku are especially common. There are often multiple versions of popular games like Chess allowing you to pick the one that suits you best.

Commercial games tend to have superior production values. The mobile versions of popular game franchises like Splinter Cell and The Sims are also available now. If you are interested in a phone built specially for gaming you might try Nokia’s NGage QD the successor to the earlier NGage. Compared to a regular phone the controls and layout are much better suited to gaming and there are a number of high-profile games available like Civilization and Call of Duty.
