The popularity of Android smartphones and tablet PCs  is increasing each passing day, and so is the count of android apps. This clearly indicates the availability of a large number of free games for android phones. No doubt, the list of not-so-good apps is long, but one can also find diamond in a coal mine, if searched properly. Therefore, after meticulously checking a wide range of android games, I've created a list of those which are worthy of being in your android device. So, without delay, here is my pick of the coolest Android games (free and paid) available -

Temple Run (Free)

Now play the most popular iOS games on your Android phone. This is an end-less running mobile game. Storyline: Player (You) tries to steal an idol from a temple and chased by demonic monkeys. To stay alive and survive in the game, you must swipe your device screen up, down, left, or right, and tilt it to dodge obstacles. In addition, you also have to collect coins. Herein, precision is the key to success. With tight controls, and captivating backgrounds, the game takes you to an enchanted world of adventure and excitement.

Grand Theft Auto III ($5)

This is the mobile version of the most fascinating video game. Storyline: Player (You) had to roam around the city filled with crime, complete campaigns/tasks by killing people using a wide range of ammunition. You can snatch vehicles, make explosions, kill anyone with weapons that you pick while roaming the city. Grand Theft Auto III was introduced by Sony. The mobile version is a bit different from the original game, but comprises of high-end graphics and wholesome backgrounds of the gritty streets of Liberty City and wreck havoc. The game is quite addictive and absorbs the complete attention of the gamer. If you love action and adventure, this is the perfect game for to suffice your appetite.

Angry Birds (Free)

A game that needs no introduction. It is the first game to make the record of earning over two million downloads, within first weekend of release. First launched on iOS, it showed the extent of popularity, mobile game can achieve. In android, the game is available for free, unlike the Apple release. However, the company has added some advertisements to generate revenue, rather than asking the user to shed their pockets. This addictive and challenging game is all about utilizing the laws of physics and killing bad piggies.

Fruit Ninja ($1.24)

“Slice and Earn”, this is what Fruit Ninja game is all about. This is also one of the highly popular games, which is now available on the android platform. Objective: fruits are flying in the air, and you have to slice it before they go down. The slicing is done by swiping the finger across the fruit. If it seems easy and simple, just give it a try. This entertaining game challenges your precision power and concentration. Moreover, the level of the game also keep on increasing, until you fall back.

Geared (Free)

This game is perfect to check your logical skills and knowledge of mechanics. Little out-of-league, the Geared was earlier available only on iPhone and later developed for Android platform. No doubt, the idea is quite simple - players have to place different-sized gears, with an aim to power first gear to last. Thereafter, as the story goes, the level gets tough. With 150 levels in all, the game is quite absorbing if you love mechanics.

Traffic Jam ($1.64)

Block games always stay in fashion, and this list is no exception. Traffic Jam is one of the finest block games, which I encountered recently. The basic goal of this free-the-box puzzle is to create a clear path for the yellow car, so that it can move out through the exit door. However, to clear the path, you need to ingeniously re-arrange different cars. It is hard to understand, how the cars are parked as most of them are almost immovable. The idea is to complete the game in minimum moves, if you want to score better. If you don't like the theme, there are various other like ice blocks, trucks, and classic wooden blocks.




This is my (admittedly subjective) list of the some popular as well as addictive games available on the Android platform. There might be some games which might not be present in the list. Therefore, if they are on your list, let me know in the comments.
