MY ARTS | MAIN BLOG
These are the mobile games that I played and enjoyed. I’m not much of a mobile gamer but I tend to play when I’m bored and before I know it, I’m already addicted to some games. I own 3 phones (Nokia 3310, Nokia 6600 and Samsung) and the games listed here are what I played (mostly) from those phones. So, here are some of my favorites. This list is in order.
These are the handheld video games that I played and enjoyed. It’s been a long time since I played these games but they still have a special place in my heart. I only own a PSP but I played some games from Game Boy from my friends who let me borrow from time to time.So, here are a few of my favorites. This list is in order.
In my opinion, these games have:
🔁 Replay value

These are the PS2/PS3/PS4 games that I played and enjoyed. If you noticed, I mixed PS2, PS3 and PS4 games here in the list because I only played a few of them. I’m more of a PC gamer (sorry). To be honest, I don’t even own a PS2, PS3 or PS4 console (though I own a PSP). I only had the opportunity to play some games with my cousins’ PS consoles whenever I visit in their house. So, here are a few of my favorites. This list is in order.

In case some of you might not know, FamiCom is short for ‘Family Computer Disk System’ and NES stands for ‘Nintendo Entertainment System’. It was the first console I had when I was a kid and I can’t even remember if it was FamiCom or NES. Others said that they are the same but I’m not really so sure about that so I’ll just list them both here. I think they have the same games though and here’s a list of my favorites.
In my opinion, these games have:
