Perhaps they're taking the piss out of call of duty elite

There's a very obvious theme going on at the moment. The mobile gaming market really is pretty bad to observe. Let's see:

- most games are paper thin in depth and extremely casual. The few games with some depth that you can find are usually much too short, too.

- they price their games for free and then make you buy unlocks, making the final game cost more than much superior regular games OR the games are worth a few dollars.

Basically, the value of such games is pretty low because of how the market has evolved. Cheap games shifted millions which attracted bigger players meaning more competition, in turn meaning even lower prices. This, in turn, leads to very lazy design and going for volume instead of quality, leading to pretty games but with sloppy gameplay.

In short, it's getting ugly. Android has a lot of nice looking games now, but few are really worth playing because they're just poorly though out. I've yet to find a clever game that makes good use of the touch screen and doesn't feel like a 5 year old made it in an afternoon.

You might be able to trace this human feature back to the invention of money : " Hey, guys who's stupid enough to accept bits of metal against a goat ? A goat that you can (fill in the blank, a pope once said goats could provide everyhthing a man might want... ) "

Its all a horrible social experiment.

The next thing will be pay-for-view reality shows where you can actually watch people sitting in a room playing these things with snide voice-overs and phone in vote-offs.

"Bobby just dropped his phone in the jacuzzi when Linda-Lou flashed her tits at him. That's gonna cost him big points. Good move by Linda-Lou who was nearly voted off after the t-shape fiasco."


P.S. I claim copyright on this show.

Android doesn't have Angry Birds yet?

Angry Birds isn't clever. It's a game of 90% luck and quite similar to Peggle where the first second after impact is the only thing you can predict and the rest is just waiting and seeing.
