In Plants vs Zombies Heroes , you play not with seed packets but a deck of 40 cards. It’s a collectible card game in the Hearthstone mold, in which you take turns placing cards on a five-lane board. As the name suggests, too, there’s a similar heroes mechanic in play too, making this a great one for Hearthstone fans to pick up. It’s light on the microtransactions, too, which is a real p

Also one of the best-looking video games of 2019 , Sayonara Wild Hearts describes itself as a "dream arcade game about riding motorcycles, skateboarding, dance battling, shooting lasers, wielding swords, and breaking hearts at 200 mph." If that sounds wild, the game itself also proves to be a tripe as the heart of a young woman, the balance of the universe, a diamond butterfly, and a masked biker all come together to tell a story that is unique in its platforms of cho

Sure, cellphone games have a certain notoriety for being stripped down and technically inferior, which is of course true to an extent.

You know who does seem to have embraced mobile gaming lately (at long freaking last)? Nintendo, that’s who. A year ago, the idea of a Mario title for phones would have outrageous, unthinkable blasphemy, but Super Mario Run is now a thing. As is Nintendo/DeNA collaboration Fire Emblem Her

Elder Scrolls 6 may be fading from minds until Bethesda shows more of its hand, but the franchise still has more to offer like The Elder Scrolls: Blades . First available as an early access title, this game provides a fairly straightforward action RPG experience set between the events of Oblivion and Skyrim , though its overall structure does somewhat seem limited by mobile devices. Yet, despite technical limitations, players find themselves in yet another chapter of the Elder Scrolls franchise, and it seemingly does its best to show how much mobile gaming has gr

As AR games become more and more popular, it's not really surprising to see major franchises step into the genre. One of the biggest this year was Minecraft Earth , which brought the popular IP's block-building mechanics to mobile devices, but it's more than that.

Physics-based games are nothing new to the mobile world, and even absurd physics-based games are not. Yet, What the Golf? is a natural evolution of this classic style and allows players to golf a number of items, from the classic ball to a house and even a horse. For those interested in the brand and style this game presents, it's worth mentioning that it's advertised as a golf game "made by people who know nothing about go
