Foosball HD emulates a real game of table-top football with reactive physics and silky-smooth gameplay. With the ability to play with 2 players, Foosball HD is a worthwhile app to pick up, or at least a makeshift drinking game.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3jmNd1xAE3U\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Virtual Table Tennis HD<\/h3>\n<p>Much like Foosball HD, Virtual Table Tennis HD recreates a game which everyone can play, but very few can actually master. With simplistic yet dynamic controls, players can easily get their ping-pong on, and the fact that its free makes it that much more appealing.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f-5bBu8qtK4\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Zombie Infection<\/h3>\n<p>Zombie Infection may look very familiar, and it should. It basically steals everything it does from Resident Evil 4, but that\u2019s alright, because it\u2019s actually pretty good. Essentially a touch-based third-person shooter, Zombie Infection throws players into a variety of different locations against a host of zombified freaks. Thankfully, you\u2019ve got some decent firepower on your side.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rFwRnKp2c_s\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"437\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Riptide<\/h3>\n<p>From the guys who brought us the recent Hydro Thunder re-release to <a title=\"XBLA - Xbox Live Arcade\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/24147-XBLA-Xbox-Live-Arcade\">Xbox Live<\/a>, comes Riptide to iPad and iPhone. A wave racer featuring high-powered jet skis that captures the spirit and speed of Hydro Thunder is always a good thing. Featuring a bunch of tracks and dynamic water-effects, Riptide is worth checking out.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3GQdG7WzaKc\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Zombieville USA 2<\/h3>\n<p>Zombieville USA 2 is a shoot-\u2018em-up that requires players to rid a town of a zombie outbreak. The game features some gorgeous cartoon-styled visuals, destructive environments and three weapons slots, which can be filled with shotguns, pistols and machine-guns in order to help you take on the waves of undead.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KHgnKlHs2x8\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"437\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>What are your favourite mobile games?
