Continuing on from last post, today I will be covering Sports and Strategy. According to http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/jul/21/50-best-games-apps-tablets-smartphones, there are 6 sports games and 8 strategy games on the top list.
Sports
Real Racing 3 was really the first game that made me think there is a large market potential in the smartphone and tablet market. "The first time you play this you will be impressed with the gleaming, console-quality graphics, gameplay depth and fine handling. There are more than 50 cars to race, hundreds of events and innovative multiplayer features." - Stuart Dredger
The details on cars, modifications, and collision details are very impressive. In the settings, you are able to turn off all driving assists, making it feel more realistic and raw. It really re-defines what smartphones and tablets are able to do nowadays. The graphics on this game reminded me of 'Gran Turismo 5' on PS3. For those who don't know what Gran Turismo 5 is, it is a high resolution, virtual driving game built purely for a gaming console. (i.e. PS3)
The best part is, this game is offered to everyone with iPhones, iPads and Android devices for free. So, if you are even remotely interested in racing games, I highly recommend you to take a look at this one.
Strategy
Plants vs Zombies is like a classic SuperMario on Nintendo 64. Some people may say, something like 'Fruit Ninja' is more classic but in my honest opinion, Fruit ninja becomes repetitive whereas in Plants vs Zombies, you are constantly unlocking new stages, and new plants to fight zombies. It is a strategy game based on defending a front yard by planting various plants which stops the zombie from invading. As weird and boring as it sounds, it is actually a very strategic game and is interesting to play. If you are a strategic gamer, and would like a game that you can kill some time, this is a no brainer.
