Hands-On with NVIDIA TegraZone Mobile Games

21.04.2011

Bottom Line: Gorgeous visuals, but you'll probably have more fun playing the real thing.

Hardwood Solitaire IV ($4.99) and Hardwood Spades ($4.99)

Even if you really love solitaire or spades, I really cannot justify shelling out $5 for a game you can find free all over the Android Market. Even with the 3D effects of the cards and achievements, the game is still the same. If you want a realistic-looking game of solitaire or spades, I suggest buying a real deck of cards. They'll be cheaper plus you can use them for other games (like poker).

Bottom Line: Why pay more when there are plenty of free alternatives? I suggest downloading one of those instead.

If you do decide to check out any of the games currently available in the TegraZone, I would recommend using Wi-Fi since a few of these apps require you to download several hundred megabytes of additional content.
