BETA YOURSELF MOBILE GAMING
Craig Grannell shows you how to turn your blower into an on-the-go gaming powerhouse –while narrowing his eyes at anyone who claims mobile titles can’t be ‘proper games’
THE BASICS
■ Try new things
Resident Evil Village on an iPhone is a great technical feat, but it’s horrible to play without a controller –and not ideal with one. For some titles, then, it’s best to stick with a console or PC. So rather than replicating your console experience on a phone, try new games –especially ones designed specifically for touchscreens.
■ Be happy, not IAP-py In-app purchases increasingly infest console and PC gaming, but they’re endemic on mobile. Ideally, find paid games that avoid such nonsense, or those with a one-off purchase to unlock the main game, with remaining IAPs being purely cosmetic. Either that or just say no, kids.
