Free mobile games: is it a blessing or a nightmare?

Do you spend your free time playing games on your smartphone? Have you downloaded games on your phone? There are always two sides to a coin.

Mobile games are those that are played on your highlights or smartphones. Starting with the basic snake games, these have evolved to be better with more realistic features. They are modified to show better graphics, multiplayer facilities (even from different locations) and more. These games can be classified into premium and freemium. Premium games ask for payment to download the app, while freemium games can be downloaded for free but ask for real money to enter certain levels.

Mobile game players range from bored elderly parents to enthusiastic teenagers and even young children. They all have different options, from easy slider games to violent shooting games. For older or middle-aged people, there are games with less effort, such as easy finger swipe. There are location based games, shooting games or even augmented reality games on the market for teenagers with a huge adrenaline rush.

Location-based games have features that track your location, connect it to the game, and make your movement the main aspect of the game. In augmented reality games, your smartphone’s camera captures the images, and through the screen, the game’s graphics also help you interact with your surroundings. These graphics are usually drawn and move according to your movement.

Lovers of action-packed movies and series can opt for shooting or war games, etc. There are many varieties of these in stores, which are multiplayer and allow you to interact and play with multiple players around the world. For growing children there are many educational games that help them improve their habits. Those games show the daily tasks that they have to follow or the daily habits that they have to acquire. There are games to improve your language too.

Is it worth messing around with these games on your smartphone? Honestly, they are not. Most of them on the store are made for profit only and those freemium games often ask you to pay real money on crucial levels that leave you no choice. Most of you spend your savings on these so-called free games, in a hurry to go to the next level or unlock the most difficult one, etc.

Most of the games keep you addicted to them and while playing you just forget the passing time. There are many reports showing how a gamer gets addicted to these that they end up committing suicide or get so hooked on the phone that they meet some kind of accident.
