Checkers, FIFA Soccer, Mancala and Marathon (though I am really getting frustrated that I still have a lot of trouble with the controls in Marathon).

I use to play a lot of Monopoly, Risk, Toobz, NBA Jam and Madden, too, but not so much anymore.

I used to like Real Soccer over FIFA Soccer. But I don't like the newer versions. They're making the soccer games too comlicated imo.

Madden is awesome too.

They need to make them more in depth. Fifa on mobile devices is comically arcady, nothing at all compared to the real version.

Pitfall and Temple Run. I wanted to play turned based games but no one want to play with me so it is not worth it anyway.

On Nexus 7, Chess.
On Galaxy S II...I don't remember when last I fired up a game. Probably a month or two ago.

I don't really play games on my smartphone. I find the small screen and lack of tactile controls really frustrating. I always feel like I would have done better with a proper gamepad or mouse+keyboard and it was the interface's fault that I died/failed.

I would be interested in some casual games that don't require much dexterity or precision, though. Something turn-based, or maybe something like Farming/Train simulator - something I would never play on my computer, but which might be fun to play for 15-20 minutes on the phone. Shooters, racing games, sports games etc. just don't work on a smartphone or tablet, IMO.

NBA Jam. I just installed my ps3 sixaxis controller on my note 2 and the game is way more fun now. :D

I found PES to be better, both mobile and desktop. Desktop FIFA caught up since 2010 but the mobile PES is better than FIFA just like the desktop series used to be.

Majesty is the only game I've played that I really liked playing. All the other ones I've played were more to kill time.

Sudoku and Triple Town for me. I just bought Football Manager 13, but haven't put much time into it yet.
