What makes Mobius Final Fantasy such a stellar mobile game? It’s remarkably faithful to the mechanics of the franchise, for starters; a dungeon-exploring RPG with levelling and customization governed by the job system. Some compromises had to be made when translating these elements to the hardware, but this is a real technical achievement right here. Especially when you consider the quality of the visuals. The game’s a solid 10 on that score and as any Tinder user will tell you, you don’t meet many
The awards will be handed out on Thursday, February 7th, during the 2013 D.I.C.E. Summit in Las Vegas, and the ceremony will be streamed live on Machinima.com starting at 7:30pm PT. Nerdist head honcho/comedian Chris Hardwick will assume hosting duties for the event, replacing longtime host Jay M
Pokémon Go , friends. Pokémon freaking Go. What can we really say about this one? Nintendo have been trying for decades to get us gamers up off of our big ol’ hairy sagging-over-the-edges-of-the-couch-cushion butts, with Wii Sports and the like, but Pokémon Go was the one. Go was the game that got us walking our dogs for the first time in four ye
You wouldn’t think that being a flight controller would be great fare for a quick stress-free mobile title, but Flight Control is another that does everything right. An accessible touch interface, a simple goal (draw paths for the oncoming planes, ensuring they reach the landing strips safely) and reams and reams of that one more go factor reviewers always talk about. A good time whichever way you slice
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
Players who have the time should build preferred loadouts to adjust to any combat situation. In terms of mechanics, it’s recommended for players to get a primary weapon they can reliably aim with. Likewise, players can consider building loadouts with weapons with high ammo count, fast reload, and decent handling. Players also need to consider the map layout and their team’s general approach when choosing a bu
Well-coordinated teams should try outlasting the enemy by only engaging from an advantage. This means players should likely attack an enemy if they’re sure to win, or if they know backup is on the way. Likewise, a team can take advantage of an aggressive enemy by backtracking and taking them by surpr

Concerning what this new Zombies mode will look at this website like, there isn't much to go off, but if it's anything like previous games, teamwork will be paramount. Generally speaking, players begin the game with a simple side arm, and must kill zombies in order to gain the currency needed to upgrade their weapons and abilities. Sticking together, watching each other's backs, and not being greedy with money are all surefire ways to increase a player's chances of survival. Although some Call of Duty games feature to pseudo story within their Zombies mode , it's likely that Zombies in Call of Duty: Mobile will not, given that there is no story in any other aspect of the g
Players who want to zig-zag across the battlefield will enjoy playing the Ninja. In squads, Ninja serves as the vanguard - capable of exploring nearby areas for enemies and eliminating lone opponents. Dead Silence, their first ability, silences their movement. Unfortunately, this means unsuspecting opponents won't be able to know the Ninja's presence by sound al
Voidwalker, their second ability, increases walking and running speed during Active Camo, enabling Poltergeists to serve as scouts or even rear guards. When used properly, the Poltergeist can launch an assault to an unsuspecting squad and disrupt their flow enough for the rest of Poltergeist's squad to finish them
The collectible card game genre, as we’ve seen, fits the mobile platform like milk fits cereal. Like Beavis fits Butthead. Like alarmingly snug skinny jeans fit those guys you see walking around whose man-parts you really don’t want to be looking at. Along with tower defense games, the touchscreen control format is perfect for these sorts of tit
