why people play games through smartphone

Portability

Perhaps one of the easiest reasons mobile games are so popular is because theyre easily accessible. Practically everyone has a smartphone nowadays, so anyone from your grandma to your little cousin can download a game on his or her iPhone and start gaming right away. Even adults, who wouldnt even consider themselves gamers, are drawn in by the addictive nature of games like Words with Friends and Candy Crush. Downloading games is also pretty painless, and can be done all in a matter of seconds. When you compare that to going to the store to buy a game for your Xbox, its a no-brainer mobile games are more consumer-friendly.
To add to all the happy people, mobile games are portable right out of their nonexistent box and can be enjoyed pretty much anywhere. Whether youre waiting for a bus or want to make that trip to the toilet a little more fun (trust me, people play on the can), games like Angry Birds or Hero Academy are there to the rescue. Of course, if you use your phone for more than just gaming, you may need to invest in an extra battery for when, you know, you need to actually make calls.

Mobile-friendly gaming

Catering to the mobile market, developers are making games that can be played on the go, so they dont take up much of your time. This, of course, leads to games that dont offer a lot of depth but are still very fun because of their pick-up-and-play design. Games like Cut the Rope, for instance, feature short levels that can be completed in a matter of seconds. You can always go back and get every star in each level when you get home, but if youre in a rush, this compact, mobile-friendly format makes enjoying them a breeze.

Even the bigger, more robust games allow you to save your progress on the fly. You dont have to worry about losing your progress either as most games stay open in the background even if you dont play them for a while. Whats more, a lot of these games have easy controls even the ones that have appeared on other platforms before. Which brings me to my next topic

Console-quality titles


Mobile games are known for their creative IPs, but every now and then we get to play games that have appeared on other consoles. Did you check out all those Nintendo games now available on iOS and Android? How about the list of mobile games coming in 2014? In addition to giving us classic games on our phones and tablets, developers are also taking the time to release mobile games simultaneously with their PC and console versions. This means well soon be able to play console-quality games on the go as well.

And for all those out there that believe playing on a touchscreen device isnt the same as playing with a controller, just hold on for a little while longer until more mobile-friendly controllers start popping up everywhere. A virtual joystick may not be the most ideal way to play Limbo or Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, but even if you decide to forego one of these pricey accessories, mobile ports give you plenty of control options that let you play former console-only games for cheap. And who doesnt love to save money?

They're fun



I remember playing Brick back in the day on my old clamshell cell phone and thinking how cool it was that my phone was trying to do the same thing my Game Boy could easily do. Mobile games have a long way since then, but like any game on any platform, theyre made to keep us having fun. The market isn't just saturated with free shovelware, mobile games can also be pretty creative and continue to keep us coming back for more. From RPGs to MMOs to racing games to simulators, theres an endless amount of games available on the mobile market that anyone can enjoy.

Apple recently announced that 2013 AppStore sales topped $10 billion on the App Store. It named games like Candy Crush Saga, Puzzle & Dragons and Minecraft as some of the year's biggest successes. Google Play is no slouch, either. Android's advantage is that multiple companies are making devices specifically tailored to different users, so a lot more people can gain access to a lot more apps and games. People like their games, and numbers dont lie. At the end of the day, it all comes down to how much fun you have with your phone or tablet. If a game isnt enjoyable, people arent going to want to play it. It just so happens that theyre getting a lot more impressive too. But thats why mobile games are doing so well.

How Smartphones Change the Way We Consume Information and Communicate The way we consume information has changed from talking to each other to reading the newspaper to watching television, to gathering info on the web using a computer and now a smartphone. Today we can access any kind of information 24/7, wherever we are. That’s both, convenient and overwhelming. Same is true for communication. Our smartphone offers us several ways of communication: calls, text messaging, instant messaging, email, social media, blogs, etc. The fact that we can get any information anytime we want has quite an impact on our way of living. A recent study by Columbia University found that we are very likely to forget information which we know we can easily retrieve again. Also, when we are asked questions, we tend think about how we can find the answer on the internet rather than thinking about the actual question and answering it ourselves. Basically, we’re getting lazier, because we know that we c
