The best FREE video games on Android for your tablet and phone!
The number of apps available for the platform has skyrocketed because Android tablets and phones have increased in popularity.
That means more free Android video games. There is a lot of junk out there but here is a list of the best ones...
Angry Birds
Having more than 2,000,000 downloads during its first weekend of availability, the super popular iOS game moved to Android a while back.
Rovio opted to stick a few ads on it rather than charge an upfront fee, unlike the Apple version, the Android version is FREE! It is incredibly professional, polished and a very challenging and massive physics game. For NO money. It goes against all the laws of retail today.
Angry Birds for Android is available now through Google Play.

Bebbled is presented in a professional manner you wouldn't be surprised to see running on something much more expensive than this standard gem-shuffling game!
Bebbled soon changes into an incredibly tough challenge, with ever-tightening demands for scenes and score combos that require you to rotate your phone to flip the game on its head, to allow you only to drop gems on other gems to incinerate larger groups of the same color.
Red Stone
Red Stone is one of the hardest and one of the best square-shuffling games on Android. You set off shuffling objects so the fat King can get through to an exit at the top of the screen, and with a big fat King square that's 4 times the size of the standard pawn squares!
Red Stone's a good game; you have to try it for yourself because I can't describe for you here how much fun you'll have with it!
Newton Lite - Photo by Google
Newton Lite is a physics/math game that has you lining up shots at a target. Deflecting your shot from its target, in the form of traps and mirrors, benders (no kidding), pullers, and pushers, are the laws of nature. For now it's a great creation and free.
Newton, the full version, is finished and costs $1.43, because the developer has added levels to it.
SketchIt Online HD - Photo by Google
SketchIt Online HD is a guessing game where people do little drawings, then they battle to correctly guess what's being drawn first. The Beta version is free, and there's the option to pay for an ad-free copy if you like it.
Another free video game you may want to check out is "The Lord of the Rings Online (lotro). It is a free download, and uses Google Maps for its Interactive Map.
So, if you're a hiker or backpacker waiting at an airport, train or bus terminal, and you have a lot of time on your hands, pull out your Android phone or tablet and play some FREE VIDEO GAMES!
