When we first posted our list of the best Android gaming apps last year, we were grasping for straws. At the time, Android games simply weren't that great since developers were putting more thought into Apple iOS devices than in Android. Our original list of the best Android games looked more like a list of cheap knockoffs of popular iPhone games, like BitLetters Free (a Words With Friends knockoff) and Jewels (a Bejeweled wannabe).
But now that Android is the biggest smartphone OS in the world, and now that Android devices are rocking gorgeous displays and high-performance chips, we have a very different story to tell.
I *tried* not to let my affinity for free puzzle games shine through in this list, and sought the best of the best in arcade, casual, and tower defense categories. I'm not going to lie—there aren't many hardcore gaming apps that are polished enough to pull you away from your Xperia Play or PSP—but a few come close. Maybe next year.
To compile this list, I polled numerous friends, Facebook contacts, coworkers, readers, family, and spent a good chunk of money testing premium apps. You'll find a mix of paid and free games here; I generally stuck to freemium models for brainless games, and recommended paid versions for more sophisticated apps.
If you're looking for our favorite Android apps in other categories, like utility, communication, social media, and lifestyle, check out the 100 Best Android Apps. Of course, there are tons of other games out there, and I plan to expand this list. What games did I miss? If your favorite isn't on here, be sure to let me know in the comments so I can consider it for the next version of our Top Android Games list.
