Re: Mobile Gaming -- A Worthy Pursuit for the Less-Sim Crowd

I bought an iPhone 4S just a few weeks ago, and so far I'm pretty impressed with the gaming.

I picked up FIFA 12 and NBA Jam for 99 cents each, which is really an amazing deal given the quality of the two games. As mentioned in the article, the simplicity of NBA Jam really lends itself nicely to a mobile device.

And while the same probably can't be said for FIFA, EA manages to pull off a near console-like experience with FIFA 12. The controls and gameplay are actually good enough to where I could actually get into a manager mode or something if I were to do any decent amount of traveling. And it's still worth it for just the occasional exhibition frinedly whenever I have some down time away from the console.

Those two games, along with GTA 3, have shown me that a hardcore-ish type of gaming experience is definitely possible on mobile devices, and is more than enough for someone like me who would never throw down for a handheld console.

iOOTP is great as well..
