Fantastic Free Android Games

Fun doesn't require FUNding. Got an Android phone or tablet, then these are the games for you.

1 - Asphalt - 8 Airborne

Given that this is the eighth title in the Asphalt series, it probably comes as no surprise Gameloft has got a bit bored having sports cars merely zoom along at breakneck speeds and drift for ludicrous distances.
As this game's name suggests, Asphalt 8 now also regularly finds your vehicle catapulted into the air, whereupon it can perform crazy aerial stunts that are entirely not covered by your insurance plan. As ever, the hyper-real tracks are faintly barmy too.

2 - Plants Vs Zombies 2

A popular game franchise that has veered down a somewhat controversial freemium path, Plants vs Zombies 2 is what’s known as a “tower defence” game: you build towers and emplacements (or in this case, plant flowers, shrubs and veggies) to fight off hordes of incoming enemies (in this case, shambling hordes of undead). The badgering about micro-transactions can be a pain, but it doesn’t kill off the essential brilliance of PopCap’s game.

How To - Perform Skill Moves and Tricks on PS3 and Xbox 360 in FIFA 14

In order to perform a skill move, there are a few things you'll need to know. One, every player in FIFA has a skill move rating, from 1-5 stars. For an example, a player with a four star skill rating will be able to perform all tricks, other than the five star skill moves.  Here is the link to find every player in FIFA 14 with a five star skill rating.

The other thing you'll need to be aware of is the direction your player is facing when you're attempting to perform the move. If you're in the practice arena with your player running forward, a skill move requiring you to move the analog stick up would be exactly that; you'd flick the stick forward.  If you're in a game, running across the pitch facing left, 'up' will now be left.

Now, here's the complete list of skill moves in the game. I included a chart for the controls on both PS3 and Xbox 360, as well as notes on how to perform or use the move. Before you try these on the pitch, master them in the practice arena with a good skiller. Some of these moves are quite difficult, find your favourites and learn when to use them! Do note that my list has ALL the skills in this game, including quite a few not found in the in game controls guide by EA.

 There's also the ability to do fancy passes in FIFA 14.  In order to perform them, you must be holding RB on Xbox or R1 on PS3 when pressing the pass button. Many things will factor into what kind of fancy pass you'll do; if you're standing or moving, if you use a directional button to aim the pass, if your player has the acrobat/flair trait, and more. Go to the practice arena to try these out on your own.

Thanks for checking this out, now let's see your dangles on the pitch!
