If you own an iPad, you already know that games are its best feature by far. We’ve covered lots of free iPad games here at MakeUseOf, but free awesome games are a well which never dries. Here are 5 games that have survived the 10-minutes test, and are probably some of the best-value free games you can find.

I know I’m not the only one around here who loves word games. Well, today I’d like to share two free, fun word games for Android. One involves a bit of fast action, while the other mainly involves looking and hunting around. Ready? So let’s go and take a look at Letter Rip and Word Search.

As the life cycle of Apple’s iOS has developed, there seems to be more and more emphasis on massive 3D games that rival the DS and the PSP. This is fine, I enjoy games like Nova, Real Racing and Modern Combat as much as anyone else. That said, there is something to be said for the subtle enjoyment of sitting down, relaxing and playing a simple puzzle game on my portable device.

It seems that no matter where you shop for apps, PopCap is there. Steam, the iTunes Store, and even Amazon’s Android App Store have all featured the company’s games. Only the official Android Market has been left behind, leaving fans to make due with just Bejeweled 2. Now that has changed, as PopCap has introduced two of its greatest hits.

It’s been a while since the last free iPad games roundup, but in my defence it’s been rather quiet on the iPad games front, free or otherwise. Must just be that time of the year. Anyway, I’ve found a few gems that should keep you busy this weekend (or shut the kids up at least), so check them out!

Mobile games are not hard to come by for Android, but the majority fall into the puzzle, tower defense, or scrolling genres. That’s fine, and there are a lot of games that rock. But what if you want to play a first or third-person shooter? The options in this genre are far more limited, most likely because shooters tend to demand more advanced graphics than other games.

One of the most popular card games in the real world is Texas Hold ‘em, and it is a game that adapts itself very well to the iPhone, because an iPhone is always connected; making it easy to be online and play against real people (for fake money of course). It also works well on a phone because you can choose to play a couple of quick hands if you only have a minute to kill, or you can sit down and play a whole tournament if you have a lot of time.

Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles! We’ve covered some bubble-shooting games before, but those were PC-based. If you’re looking for some bubble-popping fun while you’re on the go, and like free games, you’ve come to the right post. Below you’ll find two cute little gems from the Market. Each is a brain-teaser, both are free, but one involves far more tapping than the other.

Ever since Apple launched their app store, games have been big business. Some game development houses have dedicated 100% of their resources to just making iPhone games. It took a little time, but eventually some iPhone games became so good, and so in-depth, that they successfully blurred the lines between console games and games on a mobile phone.

Let me start with a key detail. Robo Defense for Android has a free version, but I will be reviewing the full version, which costs three bucks. I still decided it was worth writing about, because it is just so addictive. You won’t find killer 3D graphics here, nor will you find a very engaging soundtrack. What you will find though, is a deep, lengthy game with a serious habit-forming potential.
