"It should not be surprising any more when a mobile game gets ported over to a Nintendo platform. It happened with high-profile smart device mainstays Angry Birds and Cut the Rope, and we've also seen it with several lesser-known games as well. The latest title to continue this trend is the massively popular tile-sliding puzzle game 2048 and, once again, it feels like a perfect portable fit on the 3DS."
Last year's indie mobile smash Threes! has been deleted from the Google Play store in a spectacular display of incompetence. The reason for the puzzler's removal? The inclusion of rival title "2048" as a search keyword.

In some ways, iteration becomes innovation. The gradual process of making little things like running, jumping, and climbing feel a little better with every game can lead to progressive design by inches. I assure you, none of the games on this list had that in mind."

"Was there ever a game you hated? A game you loathed so much you wanted to break the controller? Something that made you angry? But despite all the flaws, you continued playing the game for some reason unknown?"
