2011 is the year that Android truly came into its own as a budding
games platform, thanks in large part to the explosion of Android device
activations and Google's increasing emphasis on compatibility standards.
What this all means for gamers is simple: more on-the-go gaming
goodness! In the past it might have been hard to even scrape together 25
Android games to recommend wholeheartedly. But now, this list of
must-own titles was paired down from an initial pool of hundreds.
For every game enthusiastically recommended within, another had to be
cut. Some quite painfully. Near-misses include top-notch titles like
Alchemy, Grabatron, Zenonia, iBlast Moki, and Jelly Defense.
With such a huge and diverse library of games to pull from, our top
25 probably won't look exactly like yours. But rest assured, we have
played these titles enough times to drain our Android batteries a
hundred times over. These 25 games are among the best on the
Marketplace, and deserve a place in everyone's game library.
