I have always been extremely satisfied with gaming on my phone, there are always more games to play than I have time for. It has always been suggested that iphone has better games so I decided to do this little comparison.

I looked at the top 25 games on iOS and 17 of them are available on android, all the top 5 games are on android btw. There is this one developer donut games whose 5 games comprise those 8 games which arent on android so basically it seems just one major developer thats not properly supporting android yet. However now that I look at the top 25 android games, 3 of them are not available on iOS so it isnt as one sided as you would think.

Now let me get to the interesting part. 10 of those 17 games on android have a full version available(not lite version) for free whereas all those games are only available with paid versions on iOS. Now I know ads on a phone are really annoying and removing ads by rooting the phone is hardly fair. But the way I see it the purpose of the free version is to act as an unlimited demo of the game, you can buy the game to get rid of ads anytime you feel this game really is worth it. Dont think it's worth it? You just saved a couple of $. People always say how cheap iOS games are compared to PSP games so if people have to remain consistent this thing has to be acknowledged as an advantage.

Now you say there is a world outside of the top 25 top 50 stuff? Well sure but not for the majority of people not for me. I hardly get time to keep up with the "top" games, you can call me a casual mobile gamer I certainly dont really enjoy hardcore games on my phone and neither do I have so much time for mobile gaming that I will be searching deep for more games.

For the very hardcore gamer you have emulators which are perfectly legal and available on the play store. The only real advantage iOS still has is gaming compatibility but guess what? That also has everything to do with the hardcore games like my own phone is compatible with all the 17 games in question. However even for hardcore games I dont think the galaxy S2 or galaxy nexus are incompatible with any.

It seems obvious that the iOS crowd is also mainly into the casual games dont think that many people care about playing GTA3 or max payne on their phones. And talking about graphics my father has an iphone 4S, I see no real difference in the casual games if any at all. Certainly much of the biggest games arent really taking advantage of the A5 chipset so the unification argument seems a bit over rated.

Just a tip, to legally disable ads on the free version of an app, just enablr airplane mode. Sure you won't get any calls, emails, or text messages, but you have the advantage of having no ads.

[/QUOTE]Nah man there is an easier way, just disable wifi and/or mobile data. I have quick toggles for both in my notification tray. :)

However talking about "legal" the ad-blocker app is available through the play store, surely google would have kicked it out if it was "illegal". It's just morally questionable thing to use just for the purpose of not having to buy apps.
