I think this thread has been a long time coming, since mobile phone game shovelware is increasing and flooding the market.
This thread is for the exceptionally good games for phones (android or iOS), that you guys think need honorable mentions.
Because sometimes, all you have is your phone on you.
Being the fighting game lover that I am, I guess I can start with those: (not in any particular order)
-
Street fighter 4 Volt - Online play, controls pretty good, and it has a decent amount of characters, I know a lot of you guys hate Capcom (as do I), but I fucking love street fighter. I just with they'd add Guy. ;_;
-
King of the Fighters 2012 - it's kof! I personally can't pull off a lot of the combos and what not on the phone, but I can't do it with a controller either.
-
Dragonball Tap Battle (Japanese Only) - Not sure this is ever going to get an American Release, but this game is pretty good with the Advanced controls. And the music is to die for.
Other games worth Noting:
Shantae: Risky's Revenge - it's a game by wayforward. Embrace the awesome. Plus it's free at the moment.
Double Dragon - Great art, music, tons of playable characters (though some of them really suck), and lots of love. I wish there was a console version of it.
Layton Brothers: Mystery Dungeon - it's short, but it's a great game for mystery lovers. And Yes, it is a spin-off of the Layton Series.
I would recommend Bookworm heroes, but it has an iOS 7 account glitch at the moment.
If you know of any games that aren't pieces of crap, give them a shout out.
