If it's worth playing, it's worth paying.
If it's worth playing, it's worth paying. At least, that's the credo
of our top 10 premium Android games, each chosen to make sure your
hard-earned pennies wouldn't be put to better use in an impromptu game
of tiddlywinks.
We reckon you'll get your money's worth with this
lot – or at least sufficient distraction to forget you were meant to be
saving for that vital operation.
We'll be updating this list as time goes on - feel free to suggest other games you think should be here in the comments below.
1. Jones On Fire
Run!
Run like you're in Temple Run, but sideways and blocky and with cats!
That pretty much sums up this fun side-scroller that proves a
combination of flames and kittens can be fun and not a job for the
RSPCA.
2. Asphalt 7: Heat
While
many driving games unleash your inner 007, only this one caters to your
inner McFly, with car choices including an Aston Martin and a DeLorean.
Real-world race locations include central London – making an ideal foil
for commuter rage.
3. Trainyard
If
ripping up streets by car isn't your idea of fun, try laying down train
tracks with this engrossing puzzler. Getting the engines to the right
stations is harder than it looks, so be careful not to miss your
real-world stop!
4. They Need To Be Fed 2
They Need To Be Fed
was a huge hit with its 360-degree gravity-based gameplay, and this
sequel only adds to the formula. Simply dodge the dangers, feed the
monsters and try not to get dizzy over 50 deceptively easy-looking
levels.
5. Minecraft Pocket Edition
A
pocket sandbox game sounds like a recipe for severe chafing, but mini
Minecraft is no less addictive than the full PC/Xbox version. Use 3D
blocks to build freely in Creative mode, or choose Survival mode for
more traditional gameplay.
6. Another World
Cutting-edge
on its original release in 1991, Another World now mixes retro charm
with surprisingly robust aesthetics and gameplay. One of the first games
to employ a properly cinematic plot, its sci-fi storyline is bound to
inspire the odd flashback.
7. Angry Birds Star Wars HD
This
mash-up offers hours of fun desecrating a much-loved classic – to say
nothing of Star Wars, ha ha etc. Much more than just a Leia of lipstick
on a pig, this is a worthy addition to an unstoppable franchise.
8. Grand Theft Auto III
Ten
years after GTA3 carjacked the world and caused a moral panic among
non-gamers, here's hoping that many who were appalled then now have it
in their pockets and are happily thieving and killing along with the
rest of us.
9. Symphony of the Origin
If
Game of Thrones has you hankering for some sword-and-sorcery RPG
action, you could do a lot worse than check out this Japanese epic, rich
in dwarves, golems and "Evils from the Earth-depths", all waiting to
get medieval on yo' app.
10. Prince Of Persia Classic
Finally,
here's another old classic given a new lease of life thanks to Android.
Beneath its slick new look, this is still the original, much-loved
platformer from the 1990s, but with no need to carry an Amiga 500 with
you.
