The action <\/strong>genre is one of the oldest in video games and one that encompasses a mountain of sub-genres. You know the great titles for consoles and PC, of course, but are there any good free alternatives for\u00a0your mobile<\/strong>? Of course there are!<\/p>\n

In this article, we’ve got 5 great action games for your iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets<\/strong>, a selection of free must-haves, whatever your tastes.<\/p>\n

Temple Run 2<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Temple Run is more than a game, it’s a phenomenon for iOS and Android. Although there have been loads of versions and substitutes, nothing compares to the original game…well, actually, its sequel<\/strong>does! It’s the same gameplay but with improved graphics and more challenges.<\/p>\n

Huh? You don’t\u00a0know how\u00a0Temple Run 2 works? It’s easy: your character has to flee\u00a0rabid monkeys<\/strong> and overcome obstacles at the same time as collecting coins to buy bonuses. Sounds too simple? Try playing it for five minutes and then tell us it’s easy!<\/p>\n

Jetpack Joyride<\/h2>\n

\"\"In the app store there are so many games with side-scrolling endless running characters, but we had to pick one and it’s Jetpack Joyride. Why? It’s got fun graphics –\u00a0like all games featuring Barry Steakfries<\/strong> –\u00a0there’s excellent touch response, the hero keeps it interesting, and there’s a good level of difficulty which corresponds well to the user. So strap on your jetpack\u00a0and enjoy!<\/p>\n

My Favorite Villain: Minion Rush<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not all “movie games” fall short of the movies they’re\u00a0based on. Despicable Me: Minion Rush is a perfect example – it’s\u00a0an excellent adaptation of the animated Gru\u00a0series<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In Minion Rush, you control the cute Minions in countless crazy Temple Run-style adventures, but with the peculiar style of the film and additional minigames<\/strong>. A\u00a0word of warning though, don’t let your kids have your phone, because once they try this game starring their heroes, you’ll probably not get it back!<\/p>\n

Dead Trigger<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From a game suitable for all, we’re moving on to\u00a0one that’s definitely “adults only”. Zombies<\/strong>, or the\u00a0undead,\u00a0(so fashionable in recent years)\u00a0haven’t escaped the lure\u00a0of next generation\u00a0tablets and mobiles, and they’re displayed in all their glory in Dead Trigger.<\/p>\n

In this first person\u00a0action game\u00a0you’re trying to survive the zombie apocalypse armed with an automatic rifle in your hands and cold\u00a0blood in your veins. The best thing is that this isn’t just\u00a0a smaller version of this type of game, it’s a good title with\u00a0detailed 3D graphics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blood & Glory<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you like bloody action but you’re\u00a0done with\u00a0zombie games, you’ll enjoy Blood & Glory. This game, set in a Colosseum<\/strong>, <\/strong>puts you in the shoes (or sandals) of a Roman gladiator (now trendy again thanks to Ryse: Son of Rome) who must face his enemies in 10 tournaments.<\/p>\n

This is another game that makes much of the graphics on your iOS and Android devices and proves that an action game played with touch controls<\/strong> is not only possible, but can be pretty great!<\/p>\n
