7th CUBIES ANNIVERSARY (July 4, 2013)


Theme: “Different Mobile Game Genres”

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!!!
