Mobile Gaming: Still think mobile games are just for crushing candies? The mobile gaming market is booming, with more people playing truly creative games on their smartphones than ever. This is a global trend, especially in developing countries, where gamers may not have access to expensive systems, or powerful gaming PCs. This trend is only going to accelerate as most game developers are now designing with a mobile-friendly framework in mind.
