This
day commemorates the 7th anniversary since the CUBIES Game was approved as a
Thesis Proposal during CBG 2006 or officially known as Games of the VIIth
Colympiad. This year’s theme focuses on the different mobile game genres of our
time.
Here
is a rundown of the types of games you’ll find on the mobile.
Action – the
most varied category, action games can be shooting galleries, old-school arcade
games or fast moving fighters. All require sharp reflexes. A good example would
be the intense World War II shooter Siberian Strike.
Adventure –
these games are often a blend of reflex testing and puzzle solving. The pace is
a couple degrees slower than an action game. Glyder is one of the
better examples of adventure games.
Card – one
of the most popular genres, card titles include solitaire, poker and other
titles.
Role-Playing
Games (RPGs) – involves heavy storylines, diverse characters and
hours of play. Many mobiles don’t have the tech power or the memory space to
handle RPGs, so you’ll find them almost exclusively on the more high-end
smartphones. Zenonia is a popular RPG.
Sports – it
covers real-life activities like basketball and baseball, as well as more
unusual titles. While they can be complex, most mobile sports games focus on
one particular part of the experience. For instance, the super
casual Paper Toss is strictly about making hoops.
Strategy – an
emphasis on forethought and planning, strategy games are about taking turns on
a battlefield. Chess, checkers and many classic board games fall into this
category, as do more unusual titles. It covers anything involving army
placement and one-on-one combat.
Once
again, HAPPY CUBIES DAY TO EVERYONE!!!
