[GAMES]

by Roger B Rueda

Tablets have embraced a major role in the Android world and an increasingly large number of apps uploaded onto the Google Play Store have been projected for tablets. Although the games selected today are also compatible for smartphones, they are actually designed for larger screens in order to take full advantage of the graphics, effects, and features. Here are the essential apps that will guarantee hours of gaming fun on your Android tablet.

Blood and Glory

This fighting app centres on half-naked men, wielding swords and other horrible pain-inducing weapons, thrown into a pit. It’s a free Android app that will transform your tablet into a portal to Ancient Rome. The game is set in the Roman Coliseum where you must step into the role of a hard-bitten gladiator fighting for his life. Featuring a tutorial and practice round, it's easy enough to handle that it won't be long before you are actually combatting another Gladiator for blood and honour.

Dead Trigger 2

Isn’t it fun destroying fleshy and disgusting-looking zombies with a wide range of weapons? Doing this on a tablet, that's what. Dead Trigger 2 arrived on Halloween last year and had crowds of zombie killing fans dreadfully waiting until the wee hours of the morning for its release. This app packs amazing graphics and is totally free. It is another must-have for your tablet.

Hungry Shark Evolution

As one of our essential apps for Android tablets, this game gets you under the skin of a razor-toothed shark looking for its next tasty morsel: preying on fish and humans alike. It's simple: just swim up and down, from side to side and as soon as a yummy fish or bikini-clad swimmer gets in the way, Mr Nibbles will do the rest instinctively. Soon thereafter you will see blood start floating onto your screen. You’re able to control how you want to navigate the shark, either by tilting your tablet or using on-screen touch control.

Real Racing 3

This is an exhilarating racing game. Real Racing 3 has amazing graphics which are very realistic, via three different camera modes (behind the car, steering wheel, and bumper view). The app features real car brands, like in Gran Turismo. If you like racing games, don’t miss out on the racing experience that Real Racing 3 brings to your Android tablet.

Temple Run 2 and Sonic Dash

These Android games areendless running games, where your characters are either being chased by some angry apes like in Temple Run 2 or trying to be as fast as possible like in Sonic Dash. Both characters collect coins and prizes along the way as they slide and jump around obstacles. With similar game play, Temple Run 2 is set in a hidden temple buried in the jungle, while Sonic Dash reintroduces you to the famous Sonic the Hedgehog and his world from Sega console gaming. In order to take advantage of the graphics and gameplay offered, you really need a tablet, which is why these two have found their way onto this list of essential apps.
