Plant vs Zombies 2
After the first success of Plants vs Zombies, the game where plants combat hordes of zombies, PopCap (bought by EA) reinvented the game with Plants vs Zombies 2. Your challenge: protect your house from incoming flesh-eating ghouls as they slowly advance. How? By planting an array of various plants, each with a different 'skill': create sunshine, shoot, catapult, explode...If that wasn’t exciting enough, you are whisked back in time to combat zombies from different epochs, like Ancient Egypt, Pirates, and the Far West. This game is nuts, but undeniably addicting.
FIFA 14
This game isn’t just for football/soccer fans, but has managed to enthrall even those who don’t consider this their favorite sport. FIFA was first invented for PC and consoles, but has now made its way to smartphones and tablets in the most awesome way. You have 33 leagues, 600 teams and 16,000 players to choose from in order to create your dream team and try to become the FIFA 2014champions. The game has been optimized for tablets and offers breathtaking graphics.

Despicable Me
If you love the movie Despicable Me, you’re going to go ballistic for the Android game that follows Gru and the little minions in their mischief. The levels and challenges vary all the time, so boredom is not a factor here. The application will sometimes deliver temporary updates which will decorate Gru’s street in various ways and offer special missions, like we saw with the Halloween edition. Will there be a Christmas version? Boys and girls, I think there is!

Pet Rescue Saga
Here’s another masterpiece from the creators of Candy Crush Saga that many of you know all too well (yes I’m looking at you person who landed in rehab after playing it too much). In this game, instead of candies, you need to match colored cubes in order to make them fall and all of this to save poor animals that have been captured. This is an addicting game just like Candy Crush and offers a ton of brightly-colored and varying levels. You can also sign up using your Facebook account and share your success.
