[dropcap style=”style1″]W[/dropcap]hen a game is released, there’re many opinions about what made it a good game. Aside from common answers such as unique gameplay, interesting plots… the most important thing to make a good game is its graphic. Eye-candies are common these days, since the human vision tolerates almost everything, as long as it isn’t ugly. That’s why biggest names in the gamebiz like Sony, Microsoft… always aim for higher technologies, which allow them to make better hardwares, providing more amazing, more realistic gaming graphics.

Mobile games aren’t exceptions, actually they put visual effects on higher priority than your average games on PC/ console. Because the smaller the field of vision is, the more details our eyes demand. If we put it in that term, smartphones with small screen (usually smaller than 5″) need even better graphics to cover for the gameplay.

Let’s start to name a few titles which have amazing graphics on mobile platform.NOTE: The order of games in this list is not actual rankings.[space space_height=”40″]feat_mob_topgraphic (9)
