Three games you should try on your Windows Phone (III)

GRID

Be sure that when you play it you will get hooked, because it has all the features for it: easy to play, simple controls, and interesting challenges.

In this game you must, with your character, defend yourself against various types of geometric enemies that will come from all sides. For that you have weapons that shoot to the side that you indicate, and while you do those you must move so that they do not corner you.

The view of the game is from the top, giving us a fairly wide view of it. The rest is pretty basic: shots everywhere and as you progress through the levels we get new weapons to defend yourself, and the enemies obviously arrive in greater numbers and stronger.

RED has a trial version where you can play through 5-7 waves in a single scenario, but you can get a good idea of what it's all about. The game is priced at $2.99, but it's global, so you'd also get it on your Windows 8/RT laptop or tablet.

Shoggoth Rising

A sailor is stranded in the middle of the sea, and climbs up to the lighthouse to seek refuge. But what he doesn't know is that creatures like murlocs will be climbing up it, and he must at all costs prevent them from reaching the top.

For that we must go pressing on all the creatures for our character to shoot at them. The enemies will climb around the perimeter of the lighthouse, so we must move the camera around it to spot them and eliminate them.

As we go through the level we are getting points that will help us improve our weapons, specials, and defenses.

An entertaining game with good graphic quality (which we can reduce if we see a drop in frames per second, or FPS).It's priced at $0.99, trial, and it's global, so we'll have it for both Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8/RT. The downside is that it is not available on smartphones with 512MB of RAM.

Cut and Hack

And finally, Cut and Hack is a game that comes from iOS and Android to Windows Phone in order to have more presence in the market. It is quite simple, but easy to play and addictive.

We are a hacker, and we must go through various paths to get into the system. The game then shows us a geometric shape with a colored line drawn, and we must follow that path with our finger.

The effectiveness of our hack depends on how precise the path we set was. This is a game of speed, since we must unlock the largest number of geometric shapes to obtain more experience.

Every so often balloons also appear that give us money to buy power-ups and the like.

The same is a free game, but with the one that can be removed they pay $0.99. We can also acquire more game money to buy upgrades.
