Outside of the usual calls and texts, it is without a doubt that tablets and phones are typically used for playing games.

And for those who are into games and are using the Android operating system, there are a lot of games to choose from.

Being a more open market, Android allows users to choose from different games, with various categories available to their liking.

Take a look at the suggested games for three categories:

Strategy Game - Subterfuge

A strategy game is even more difficult and challenging when it is a multiplayer game, and that is what Subterfuge is all about.

This game does not finish quickly, with a game lasting about a week. Using submarines at one's disposal, the player should navigate the seas to take control of different outposts in the game. 

The more one has control of the outposts, the more submarines he can produce. It also means more firepower against the opponents.

A battle to generate the most "Neptunium" is the end goal, and with the game being real time, expect opponents to attack in the most odd times of the day.

Puzzle Game - Angry Birds 2

Still one of the most popular games, "Angry Birds" has a very simple premise to the game and yet it is very addictive to play.

Using different characters, one must try to eliminate the enemies before using up all resources.

There are many different birds to choose from and the battle gets harder as the stages progress.

Racing Game - Traffic Rider

Making the most of the technology the tablet or phone gives the user, "Traffic Rider" is a first-person driving game where the user navigates through a busy street.

It rewards the player if he gets closer calls, meaning barely avoiding traffic and causing collisions.

The device is used as the steering wheel itself to add to a more interactive game and the player advances when he finishes the route within the time limit. 

There are up to 20 motorcycles to unlock throughout the game and things get even more difficult as they progress.

With still so many other games available to any Android user, fans can expect to get more updates and games with other categories.
