Angry Birds might be taking all the mobile gaming headlines but there are plenty more games just as addictive, and on the Nokia Ovi Store right now for your Nokia N8. If you love Angry Birds addictive gameplay you'll love these. Read on for our pick of Angry Birds alternatives that are just as addictive as the feathered franchise.
In our picks you'll find a few classics, one new entry and one for those that just can't get catapulting birds out of their conscious. You're bound to find something you like. Read on for our top 5 alternatives to Angry Birds.
We couldn't possibly have a list of 'games as addictive as Angry Birds' without including this. In gameplay terms, Doodle Jump is as simple as they come. Players guide the Doodler (that green blob thing) up the sheet of graph paper by physically tilting their handset left or right. Your N8's accelerometer will work its magic to take Doodler sky-high. It's trickier than it looks, but remains a classic example of 'one more go' gameplay.
Games don't come much more addictive (or iconic) than PAC-Man. PAC-MAN Championship Edition is a dolled up version of the fruit munching classic that features 'Hi-Res' graphics and six new game modes. This is no copy of the original either. New features include a maze in the dark, a 'breakneck speed' mode and a shapeshifting maze.
Tetris is another title that already has its place in the pantheon of great game franchises. Tetris HD is one of the latest Tetris games available. These games haven't been played by over 60 million players for no good reason, y'know. Tetris HD combines all the addictive block-fitting gameplay of the original, with fresh features and revamped visuals for a new generation of mobile players - a must-for your N8.
It make you look like your texting angrily on your phone while playing it, but don't let that stop you from giving Cannoball HD a try. Cannonball HD is a shooting gallery game that has you tapping at the screen to fire your cannon at passing pirate ships, lurking sea-monsters and the most deadly enemy of all - seagulls. Addictive, easy to play. Bingo.
In Marble Maze Speed you must guide a shiny marble to its goal by navigating a range of perilous looking mazes. The accelerometer in your N8 really makes it come to life in this game of skill, precision and patience. The best bit is, it's totally free.
The REAL Angry Birds Alternative for Nokia N8
We know, adding this game brings our total up to six but we just couldn't resist it, as Crazy Penguin Catapult is the true successor to Angry Birds:
For the closest thing to Angry Birds, Crazy Penguin Catapult might be up your street. Swapping one set of bumbling birds for another, Crazy Penguin Catapult has you catapulting, you guessed it, penguins sky-high, at polar bears. As the story goes: a scourge of dastardly polar bears have kidnapped one of your penguin buddies, resulting in some true Angry Bird-esque penguin-flinging gameplay. The ability to bounce penguins off walls, rocks and ice at least adds some variety here. And if you like it, you can always download the sequel from the Ovi Store.
