Eh I remember Infinity Blade did have good graphics and decent gameplay but the story was pretty boring.
I personally am a RPG fan so games like FF3 and FF4 along with Chaos Rings are enjoyable.
I do also play Puzzles and Dragons and Terra Battle too. Terra Battle is quite slow with updates though so after getting my whole team to max level there aren't really any new dungeons to complete. Puzzles and Dragons on the other hand though I've spent quite a bit on ingame purchases and there's still a lot I haven't done. It's like Pokemon meets Candy Crush in that there's an objective to complete and you collect "monsters" which can be gods, dragons, devils etc. I don't see what's so fun about playing Candy Crush days on end when there's no real objective and nothing to collect.
In Puzzles and Dragons you have two leaders with different effects and then sub leaders to boost your team's utility and take down monsters by making combos. E.g. My favourite leader is batman and his ability is 3.5x boost to dark type attack when over 80% HP so if I use that leader and a friend uses batman too then that's 12.25x boost and basically I have to wipe out everything before they hit me. If I match dark orbs then I will do damage and then I can boost that further by matching more orbs and getting more combos.
Here's a quick vid for anyone interested:
There's quite a lot of tactics involved. I mainly like to focus on all attack but there are teams to boost HP, to boost recovery etc. That's why I can never get bored of it and play it whenever I commute and have nothing else to do or something.
E.g. as listed in my vid description, my team consists of:
Batman [2x dark ATK for 1 turn]
Byakko [Change board to dark, fire, water orbs]
Dark Metatron [Enhance dark orbs]
Persephone [Change heart and light orbs to dark orbs]
Hanzo [Change fire orbs to dark orbs]
This means that on a monster with high HP, I use Persephone's skill to get extra dark orbs. As a board will have 6 types of orbs (Fire, Wood, Water, Dark, Light and Heart), if I convert light and heart to dark, then the board will be left with fire, wood, water and dark orbs only = 50% of the board will be dark = massive dark damage.
On the final boss, I use Byakko to change the whole board to dark fire and water orbs, then use Hanzo to change fire orbs to dark orbs, leaving roughly 66% of the board as dark and 33% as water on average. I then use Dark Metatron to enhance those dark orbs to boost each orbs damage up by 6% etc.
It might look easy with my team but there are obvious limitations. Bosses that hit you as a preemptive attack below 80% HP means that my damage would go down by 12.25x. This isn't a problem if I can heal it back up with enough heart orbs, but if the boss is on a 1 turn timer and hits you every turn below 80% then each turn I will be healing, only to be put down below 80% again and it's almost impossible to take a boss out with a normal 1x multiplier to damage.
Well enough of being a nerd..

I'd say Dungeon Keeper 2 or Ultima Forever, but I couldn't possibly keep a straight face while doing so.... I actually do have some Sonic the Hedgehog game on my ancient Android, and it was moderately entertaining for the 10 or so minutes I expended on it. But as noted earlier, for some of us, gaming is meant to be done on screens of a larger size (I'm of the opinion that 24" is more the minimum, but that's just my preference.) That, and I'm a keyboard/mouse bigot.
Minion Rush and Candy Crush....
Although both are played by my kids and I don't really play them
wordament on WP
Minion Rush. I'm totally hooked. They keep on adding new levels, so it never becomes too stale. Their are various challenges each week, on top of the normal game play. Furthermore, I haven't spent a penny on it with any of the pay-to-win micro transactions, and so earning upgrades takes a fair bit of patience to achieve, which is itself somewhat rewarding. It's a good time killer when I'm waiting for colleagues to complete their tasks, in order that I can complete mine.
"where's my water?", on IOS
Really liked that game
And then there's wordfeud, which is also quite fun
You can usually find a decent version of any board/card/puzzle games you like (eg. Spider, Wordament). Minecraft PE is surprisingly good, even though it uses the bane of most mobile games... virtual joysticks.
Best thing I've bought recently though has been DraSticDS so I can get back into my Picross addiction.
Currently I've been playing Sonic Dash, which is pretty decent.
Sword and Sworcery was nice from an atmospheric/soundtrack point of view, though it didn't grip me sufficiently to complete it (yet...).
Radient Defense - great tower defence game and you don't need to buy addons to beat it.

Boom Beach
none - enough said next topic
all the asphalt series games, if you are racing fan that is and also there are some good fps games in android such as modern combat series
Age of Empires Castle Seige. Pretty cool if you enjoyed the original AOE series on PC.
One can never stop saying Thank You
Broken Sword (all of them)
NFS - Most Wanted
Real Racing
Plants v Zombies 2
Angry Birds Space
Quite like Madden Mobile
Sky Force (great with a Note's stylus)
World of Tanks (maybe)
Got some real bargains on humblebundle recently that have been great fun:
Broken sword 1&2
Room 1&2
Fieldrunners 1&2
Bloons TD 5
Between HB and amazon app stores free app of the day I've spent so little for quality gaming recently.
