SoulCalibur and OddWorld caught my eye. Already got too many versions of Half-Life 2.

Mobile devices are really kicking ass with these console games.

Getting my shield tablet for Christmas, so excited to be able to play these games anywhere.

I have the Shield Portable and it does not disappoint. Lots of horsepower in a portable package. And if you Pc game with an Nvidia card the game streaming is phenominal.
You made a wise choice with the Shield.

I think I know what I'm hinting to the girly for Christmas.

It's a nice piece. Shield Tablet is the first tablet I've owned so even the basic functionality makes it worth it for me. The fact it's powerful, gamer-focused with extra storage space potential is icing on the cake.

Game-wise I've only tried some android stuff. Vice City's controls translate well to the controller. Trine 2 is pretty alright, but I get the sense the battery drains quite quickly if you're playing portably. As a plug & play console hooked up to a TV & the mains electric, it's great. As for streaming from the rig, my 560ti doesn't cut the mustard. But hell, something for the future.

From the article list however...I noticed that the 'android' version of XcomEU is incompattible with the Shield Tab, for whatever reason.

Netflix’s mobile game download numbers have risen sharply thanks to GTA: The Trilogy

The three remasters were downloaded through Netflix 18 million times in their first month.

Netflix‘s mobile download numbers have reportedly risen drastically thanks to the addition of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition to the service. All three remasters were made available to Netflix members on December 14 via the App Store, Google Play, and in the Netflix mobile app.

Players are able to download and play the games as part of their Netflix subscription, with no extra charges. As a result of this high-profile addition to its library, Netflix has seen a sharp increase in monthly game downloads, according to Appmagic data reported via Mobilegamer.biz.

According to the data, Netflix’s monthly game downloads were around 10 million in November 2023, but this shot up to around 28 million in December 2023.

18 million downloads across the GTA trilogy on Netflix is incredible numbers and dwarfs the total number of Starfield downloads. This highlights that whilst Microsoft wants Game Pass to be the 'Netflix of gaming' its reach is currently just as a complementary service to the Xbox games console. Whereas Netflix because it is so ubiquitous has the potential to be the real Netflix of gaming and do what Sony, Microsoft and Google Stadia all have dreamed of doing and reach the casuals who never dreamed of buying a console.

Now you can download games on to your iOS/Android device, for sure Netflix is looking to offer full triple-A games that are streamed via the cloud on their TV app.

More mobile games. Can't believe the last command and conquer game was Tiberian Twilight not only was it a awful game. It was 13 years ago.

mkis007242d ago

i guess the name was perfect

Profchaos242d ago

EA have been trying to shoehorn C&C into a live service/ mobile game since 2009 it's not happening now give us another generals

SpacedDuck242d ago

Disgusting that this IP has outside of the excellent C&C Remastered been regulated to awful mobile games.

Command and Conquer should have had a passionate team assigned and come roaring back years ago.

VincentVanBro217d ago

If we needed further evidence that EA is dumb as hell with their IP, behold their latest blunder
