Among the different recaps that can be made of what 2012 has left us, the list of the best games should not be missing, since after all, it is one of the main uses that we give to our tablets, to the point that many see the future of the video game industry in mobile devices. There is no doubt that this year we have received great titles, and although there will always be the risk of leaving out the odd jewel, we have not been able to resist the temptation to draw up our own list. If you have not tried any of them, you have an additional advantage, and that is that many of them are now at greatly reduced prices.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Although there are very good racing simulators for both iOS and Android, it is impossible not to highlight the series Need for Speed, the “outlaw” version of the Gran Turismo. With spectacular graphics and very successful controls, the game makes us enjoy the illegal races through the streets of the city and the police chases. A good assortment of racing cars to choose from and the possibility of customizing and improving your favorite vehicles are the icing on the cake. Also, although we don't know for how long, you can download it now from Google Play y iTunes for only 0,91 y $0,89system. (iOS / Android)
NEW 3
The closest thing to HALO that can be found on mobile devices and, without a doubt, a saga that would not be out of place on a video console. NEW 3 is a shooter with extras (you have at your disposal some additional powers, as in Mass Effect, and you can also drive vehicles) and, above all, with a good science fiction story and a very successful setting. The game consists of 10 levels of quite a length, but if you know little, its great multiplayer is sure to help you fill the void. Right now you can get in iTunes y Google Play for only 0,89 euros. (iOS / Android)
Wild Blood
If your thing is more the medieval setting than science fiction, one of the best options is Wild Blood. that recreates the legendary story of King Arthur and that will give you the opportunity to handle knights, wizards and trolls, and immerse yourself in bloody battles with all kinds of weapons (swords, bows, axes) and, of course, a few spells. As in the previous case, the adventure takes place in 10 levels but you also have a fun multiplayer with which to put yourself to the test. Its graphic quality must be highlighted: truly outstanding. (iOS / Android)
The dark knight
If we talk about graphic quality, leave out The dark knight it would be a crime: re-enactment of the movie The Dark Knight Rises It is an absolute gem. The story faithfully reproduces the plot of the film, so it is even necessary to warn that if you have not seen it, the game is going to be a monumental spoiler. On the contrary, if you have already seen it, and especially if you are passionate about comics, you will be able to relive the emotions fighting against Bane while you walk Gotham, thanks to a huge map that you can explore freely. (iOS / Android)
Shadowgun: Deadzone
This time it is a more recent launch but it already has astronomical download figures, and that is a beta! The enormous success of Shadowgun It has made its sequel one of the most popular games, despite being still in the development phase and it is to be expected to run into the odd bug from time to time. On the positive side, since the game is still in testing, it is free, which is undoubtedly quite attractive. Again it is a shooter with atmosphere futuristic, although in this case the game focuses entirely on multiplayer, to test your skill with weapons in games of up to 12 players. (iOS / Android)
Walking Dead: The Game
Although this game is currently only available for iOS, the real king of zombie games, which has been so fashionable this year, could not be left out of our list: Walking Dead: The Game. The story takes place in the same universe in which the story of the popular comic takes place, although we will handle a different protagonist. A title that goes beyond shooter and tries to recreate the distress and dark characters and situations typical of a world in which order collapses. The game also has a huge plus: the replayability. Throughout the 5 chapters that make up the series you will be forced to make different decisions and their consequences will shape the story, so that the possibility of playing it again by changing some of them and discovering new possibilities is really attractive. (iOS)
