Yes, I sometimes play games like Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Jet Pack Joy Ride, Flappy Birds, and Asphalt 8 on my computer because mobile games only take a few seconds to load, so I can start playing games quickly. Mobile games also run pretty quickly on my PC, so I don't need to check if my computer is fast enough to run mobile games.
Some mobile games like Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Plants vs Zombies, etc can also be played on a web browser, so I can play them on my web browser which is usually open when I use my PC.
No, I don't think I've played any mobile games on my laptop. There was one that I sort of played that was run through an emulator that I downloaded; but, it started causing me problems and I uninstalled it.
I find playing Angry Birds more accurate with a computer mouse. I played Asphalt 8 which is a mobile racing game in Windows 8, and using the arrow keys on a PC keyboard easier than tilt controls, and on-screen buttons on a Tablet/Smartphone. I also prefer the bigger screen size of a computer monitor vs the tiny screen on a smartphone or tablet.
I haven't play any mobile games on my PC because, it is easier to pick up my tablet or phone. Another reason why I haven't played any mobile games on my PC is because, most of time when I play mobile games I'm laying down or sitting somewhere away from home. I actually didn't even know games like Angry Bird or Fruit Ninja could be played on the PC. That is why I joined Gamingforce because I wanted to learn more about gaming.
I think Facebook has a Angry Birds, and Fruit Ninja version on FB's game section. The most famous mobile game on Facebook is Candy Crush Saga which I heard is very addictive.
I first played Candy Crush on my netbook because a friend of mine invited me to play via Facebook. I was instantly hooked by its simple yet addicting gameplay. When I learned that it had a mobile version, I automatically downloaded it and never used the netbook to play it ever again. That was the first time that I have played a mobile game on my netbook and I think that it would also be the last.
Not really, whenever I end up playing the games on my phone its probably because I'm sitting on a road trip, or not doing anything and I want something fun to do, so I really just like to stick to my phones.
I didn't even know you could access those games on your computer, that's interesting.
I don't, but I have tried it and I also get to play some Angry Birds from time to time on our mini HTPC with the use of the mouse. I'm personally not too fond of it because the games are meant for touch screen devices and using the mouse kind of takes away a bit from the experience. It's still fun though and I'm glad that modern technology provides us with different methods of playing our games now whereas just a decade ago the best option we had was to buy an expensive portable gaming device if we wanted to play video games away from the console and that was pretty much the extent of our additional options.
I have a Windows 8 tablet which can play games from the Windows Store, and I generally consider them mobile games, so yes. Some of the games definitely are much more playable with a touchscreen than a mouse and keyboard, but thankfully it's not a problem for me. I also play mobile games on my phone, but sometimes it is a better experience when played on a larger screen!
I hate playing mobile games for a long period so I never play it on the computer. I seem to blaze through those games so fast and the only time I really play those games is when I have to wait for 10 minutes or something like that.
I think as more laptops are touchscreen laptops, and more desktop monitors are touchscreen monitors, mobile games on a computer would be more common. Windows 8 also has a lot of mobile games in the Windows 8 store. Some mobile games like Shadowgun, Asphalt 8, and Real Racing 3 would probably be more enjoyable on a bigger screen, and with a keyboard, or USB gamepad controller.
I think playing mobile games are more fun than flash games because flash games use a lot of RAM and CPU because Adobe Flash Plug-in uses a lot of RAM, and CPU even when doing simple things like playing YouTube videos. Flash also crashes a lot.
I actually play more computer games than console games. There is one game that I play daily, sometimes even for hours a day. It's sort of a smaller game that is slowly dying, so I'm enjoying it while I can.
I have played doodle jump, angry birds, and other things like that on my computer too.
One mobile game that I like to play on my laptop is Jurrasic Park Builder. I find it easier to move stuff around and see things on a computer. Another advantage to playing on the laptop is the save game feature that does not exist in the mobile app. I've had several hours of hard work gone to waste because my game wasn't properly saved by the mobile app. One more advantage to playing on laptop is that the game usually plays a lot faster because of the laptop's superior processing power. I hate it when the game laggs on my mobile. I guess I would say that some games which are intended to be played on mobile are better played on computers while at the same time there are many PC games I wish I could play on my smartphone.
Nope, I never played any mobile game on my computer. I tried using an emulator once, but it was incredibly confusing. So, I just gave up. I have played ports of mobile games though. Plague Inc would have to be one of them, as well as 2048 (which came from Threes, a mobile game).
Sure, but that is usually because I've picked it up via Humble Bundle - which is for the PC anyway. Also I don't do the whole smart phone thing - so that's another reason right there.
The Windows Store in Windows 8 and above has a handful of mobile games ready to be played on your PC. I don't really play them, but I have installed Asphalt 8: Airborne onto my laptop through the Windows Store as the Google Play Store claims that the game is incompatible with my device (but I'm totally sure it will work just fine on my phone). I don't really play mobile games on my PC/laptop, but if a free game is incompatible with my phone and I really want to play it, I might install it. As far as Android emulators like BlueStacks are considered, I don't prefer them unless I really need them for some reason. BlueStacks doesn't work properly for me for some reason; I get a laggy interface on BlueStacks.
