Given the number of titles available, it isn’t easy to know where to start. So, we’ve compiled this list to help you out. Keep reading to learn about the games you should be playing this summer.
Casino Games
Technological advancements have made it possible to play your favorite casino games on your phone, tablet, or computer. From table games to card games, there are a variety of entertaining titles to choose from and something for just about every gamer. Slots are among the most popular casino games available online, with websites such as Pokerstars Casino offering a sign up bonus to help new players get started. This offer includes free spins, plus, you can play, pause, and resume your game whenever you want without losing progress. One of the best things about playing casino games online is you can experience the excitement of a land-based casino from the comfort of your living room couch.
Tomb Raider Reloaded
Lara Croft has been with us since the 1990s and she returns in this free-to-play action arcade game for mobile devices. As you’re adding games to your download list, you won’t want to miss this exciting shooter. You play the game as Lara, exploring ancient ruins and shooting anything that threatens you. Although the cartoonish graphics aren’t on par with what you’d find on a console or PC, the gameplay is excellent, making it well worth your time.
Code Racer
If you love wacky racing games like Mario Kart, you’ll have a lot of fun playing Code Racer. The game throws everything you know about racing games out the window. Instead of the game giving you a path to follow, you use a series of commands to program your vehicle as you play the game. While this title requires a little more savvy than most racing games, giving your car instructions on the route it needs to follow and watching it complete it is a rewarding experience. With over a hundred different levels and 30 cars to choose from, this game will keep you busy throughout the summer and beyond.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition
Rockstar Games decided to throw gaming fans a bone this summer by releasing this collection of the three most popular Grand Theft Auto (GTA) games ever made: Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City, and San Andreas. Although it’s unlikely to keep gamers from questioning when GTA 6 will be released, it’ll at least keep them busy over the summer and into the new year.
If you’re a GTA fan and have never played these games, now’s the time to give them a spin. If you’re a veteran of the series, there’s no better time to revisit it. Rockstar has plans to release the trilogy on mobile devices later this year, so you can always get your GTA fix wherever you go.
Lord of the Rings: Gollum
You’ll have to wait until the end of the summer to get your hands on this long-awaited Lord of the Rings game from Daedalic Entertainment. As the title suggests, you’ll play the game as Gollum. The game starts with Gollum being held captive in the Mordor Fortress in Barad-dûr and then takes you through different Middle Earth locations. Tolkien’s drawings are featured throughout the game, and you can see how the film and book inspired the game as you play. It’s an action-adventure title that requires stealth and strategy to make it through to the end. You’ll also want to take advantage of Gollum’s two personalities if you’re going to succeed.
