Top Games for the HTC Evo Shift

By Gareth Jale


First, there is Abduction! It's just like the classically addictive iPhone game called Doodle Jump. The game plays the same, but the theme has changed. You play as a cow attempting to free your fellow friends of the animal kingdom from aliens who've abducted them. To save you furry pals, you simply have to jump from one platform to the next. The game is controlled by tilting your Shift back and forth. You'll have to grab power-ups and dodge bombs as you continue to jump. Although the game can be quite challenging, you can still set the difficulty lower. There's even a kids mode.

The next game to mention is NinJump. This is really a new twist on the classic fighting-ninja theme. As a ninja, you climb up the sides of buildings, jumping back and forth between two of them as you go. As you continue to climb, you must dodge enemies and other elements of nature such as birds and squirrels. You're armed with a trusty ninja sword to slice them all up. Once you chop three of the same kind, you get a power-up. This really isn't that complicated as far as intricacy goes, but the game still can be quite challenging. And that's where the fun of it comes in. You'll find yourself working to get back up to where you were once an enemy chops you down.

Next, if you're a fan of the pay game, Bejeweled, then you'll love the free clone called Jewels. It basically plays just like bejeweled. The only difference is that there are no Hypercubes or Powercubes like the commercial game has. However, there really isn't any better game for some mindless colors, shapes, and fast response. If you're into the whole social aspect of your new phone, you'll even be able to set up a screen name and share your high scores with family and friends. With high resolution, this game is also visually appealing as well.

Finally, if you like scrabble, then BitLetters is the game for you. It's scrabble on social networking steroids. You can play with friends and family. You can play against the computer. And if you're really up for a challenge you can even play complete strangers. Be careful though, this game is addicting. When you finally encounter someone who is better than you, it really makes you want to step up your game. The nice part is that you'll probably beat the pants off anyone who ever dares challenge you in scrabble on a classic board. That's always nice for family get-togethers.

There you go ladies and gentlemen. These are four of the top free games that you can play on your new phone. Sure, you'll probably want to play many more than just these, but these should be the starting point for getting some serious fun-time on your phone. You should probably get a screen protector if you'll be playing a lot of games. It can really save your screen from getting all scratched up. If you look around, you'll even find some accessories for playing video games. And if you really are a dedicated gamer, there is even case designs that feature video game themes. You might want to pick these up as well.
