Top 10 upcoming mobile phone games

As the days grow shorter and the weather gets ever colder, you’ll be less tempted to venture outside of an evening – which naturally restricts opportunities for gaming on the go. But the beauty of mobile games, of course, is that you can play them anywhere. In fact, we love nothing more than curling up on the sofa and settling down for a good, long session with our latest smartphone addictions Spymouse and Jetpack Joyride. So here are ten forthcoming mobile games (across a selection of operating systems) from Splinter Cell: Conviction and Battlefield 3: Aftershock to Super Crate Box and Sonic CD, which should help warm you up during those long winter nights.

Shadowgun

Android/iOS out winter

Battlefield might not quite achieve console-quality graphics, but Madfinger’s forthcoming third-person shooter will – on high-end Tegra devices, at least. Having already wowed consumers and critics with pre-release footage, Shadowgun could represent a significant moment in the history of mobile gaming. Not because of its gameplay – though as shooters go, it’s suitably meaty and action-packed – but for setting a technical benchmark for portable play. Madfinger already has an enhanced version in development for the next generation of Tegra chips - and if you want to demonstrate to friends exactly what your shiny new phone is capable of, there’s no better showcase than this.
