Because contemporary society is heavily reliant upon the use of computers and the internet, it is unsurprising to discover that even our rest, recreation and leisure options are greatly influenced by computers. This is evidenced by the widespread popularity of video and computer games among the younger generation, with millions of youngsters hooked on various computer games worldwide.
Along with the ever increasing popularity of smartphones that merged the features of a PC with the transportability of a mobile phone, game applications also became famous. These game apps enable users to enjoy their favorite computer games on their mobile phones, thus making it more convenient and accessible. Perhaps two of the most popular smartphone brands in the market are also the staunchest rivals—Apple’s iPhone Games and Samsung’s Android Game Applications. Below is a brief comparison of the advantages as well as the disadvantages of Android games and Apple’s iPhone games.
Many gaming enthusiasts, fanatics, developers and commentators the world over seem to agree upon one thing: Apple’s iPhone games absolutely defeats Android game apps in almost all aspects. For one, gaming developers continuously decry the huge number of free apps from the Android market, making it harder for them to actually sell their games to Android users. While having tons of free apps may be good news for the economical user, this can be bad from the developer’s perspective because this automatically means lesser sales. Because of this, almost all game developers are hesitant in developing game applications for Android devices, for fear of being overpowered by free apps.
Likewise, in terms of selection, Apple’s iPhone definitely has a larger one if compared to Android, with big time game developers like PopCap and EA continuously creating game apps for iPhone. Because of this, there are many great games that are exclusively available in Apple, while Android has to make do with games that are available on the iPhone as well, merely adapting them to fit with the Android operating system. Many gamers also complain of lower quality games in Android devices, particularly the casual games that look sloppy and embarrassing if compared to Apple’s wide selection of high-quality and extremely popular games such as Plants vs. Zombies, Bejeweled and Sims. To its credit however, Android released Gameloft’s Assassin’s Creed: Altairs Chronicles app, plus the amazing NFS: Shift.Android game app. However, these two games fail to compensate for all of Android’s shortcomings when it comes to game development, especially if compared to the gains of Apple’s iPhone games.
But in all, both Android and iPhone game apps have their own set of strengths and weaknesses, and although most would say that iPhone games still dominate the mobile gaming market, Android game apps are definitely not far behind.
