With the ever increasing hardware capabilities and mobile OS getting more sophisticated day by day the huge gap between a mobile phone and a handheld game console is converging. Handheld game console are not a new phenomenon and i remember playing tennis, ice hockey and tetris a decade ago.

Mobile phone also adds the capability of multiplayer games on a wifi network or using bluetooth which make it even more interesting. Today, there are tons of games available for mobile phones, atleast for the major platforms like Symbian and Window Mobile. I am not a symbian user which is why i am not mentioning any links here but i am sure it would be easy to search on the web.

Some games which you must have if you are a Window Mobile user …

1. Call of Duty 2

How can you not have Pac Man on your mobile. The arcade classic can fit in your pocket right and will never let you get bored, the experience is also very close to the original one.

5. Quake 3 Arena

Quake 3 for Windows Mobile

Quake 3 for Windows Mobile

There are many ported versions of Quake for Windows Mobile and one will have to od a quick search to figure out the most recent one. This one is the closest to the actual look and feel on the PC and you can watch the video for more details. 

Quake is quite an fps intensive game, i feel that the game play will vary from device to device and it will surely be better on mobile phones which use hardware accelaration such as Dell Axiom. This might not give a good experience on many devices.

Thats it for now, watchout this space for more reviews in future.
