Battleheart Legacy, Where the Hero has Sass

Brought to us by Mika Mobile, Battleheart Legacy is based off their previous game, titled Battleheart. I know, show some originality, guys!
Legacy has the feel of a classic RPG re-textured for mobile devices. The game is extremely in-depth and customizable, with a dozen classes to specialize in and over two hundred equipment items to acquire and use.
While the graphics are great, and the gameplay is quite enjoyable, I think that my favorite part of Legacy is the re-playability. You can start out as a Knight class, beat the game, then make another character slot as a wizard. The second or third time you play may not be quite as entertaining as the first, but using different classes and items still make it fun.
True to RPG form, the game also includes a few NPC quests to complete, including the main quest where your hero or heroine must collect the three "Solar Crystals" for the king. This quest requires your character to be level twenty-nine or higher, so your first time through the game will certainly not be short. It took me like a month to beat the game for the first time, but my most recent character file made it from level one to the final boss in about a week.
The other really cool thing Legacy is the feature of transferring your character slots over the iCloud. So if I start a new hero on my tablet but decide I want this character on my phone, I just have to upload it to the Cloud!

Legacy is one of the first mobile videogames I've seen that doesn't include in-app purchases. Unfortunately, this also means that the game itself costs $4.99, but in my opinion, it's totally worth it.

Reason for the title XD

This is an exceptional mobile game that is totally worth the price. If you have five bucks lying around, I very much recommend this game.

No Vain, No Gain

The map above is called the Halcyon Fold, the setting for this Gameview: Vainglory, produced by Super Evil Mega Corp.
You've probably never heard of it, have you? I bet you don't even know what a MOBA is... 
Anyhow, this touch screen video game won't remain unknown for much longer, due to its rapidly growing popularity and player base. The game entails staggeringly good graphics, sensationally addicting gameplay, great lore, and unique heroes to fight with. The best part? It's free! (Boy, It sounds like I'm being paid to do this, doesn't it...)
But seriously, I've been playing Vainglory for almost a year now, and it hasn't gotten boring. Not once. Maybe seriously frustrating sometimes, where I want to throw my tablet at the wall, but NEVER boring. 
For those of you that don't know what a MOBA is, I'll explain the basic aspects of Vainglory and her sister games for you. If you already know what a MOBA is, congratulations! You're officially permitted to skip over this part and read the next bit of my useless babble. Anyway, Most MOBAs (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) incorporate a Lane where turrets are placed at strategic spots, a Jungle where gold can be acquired, and two team bases. In the case of Vainglory, the goal of the game is to destroy the enemy's Vain Crystal, or Vain. See those weird shiny purple things at each side of the map? Those are the Vains, and your job is to blow up the enemy's while protecting your own. 
In addition to the features I've already discussed, you also have the option of joining a Guild or Team, so that you can play with other players close to your skill level. Rewards can be earned at the end of each Season based on your Guild's level.
Compared to other MOBAs such as League of Legends, Vainglory is quite fast paced. There are only three players on each team, compared to the usual five. This ensures that matches are only about 20-30 minutes long. (Eat your heart out, League!)
Vainglory is compatible with Apple iPads 2 and up, iPhones 5 and up, and requires iOS 6.1 and above. It's also downloadable on high-end Android devices with 1GB of RAM or more, and requires Android 4.2.2 Jellybean or newer.
Over all, this is a spectacular game and definitely worth checking out. See you in the Fold!
