10 BEST 2017 ANDROID GAMES

Gaming on mobile has been improving at a far greater rate than any technology that came before it. Android games seems to hit new heights every year, with the release of Android Nougat and Vulkan. Android gaming is getting bigger and better every month, it seems there is always a slew of new titles popping up on Play store. Thus, whether you're a casual gamer or you want something adventurous, you'll get any type of game you'd love to play. Get the names of the latest released games listed below and download them from Google play store to your phone.

• Asphalt 8: Airborne or Asphalt: Xtreme

Price: Free Download
When it comes to racing games without an up-front price tag, Gameloft is the best. The former is an offroad style racer with a variety of tracks, online multiplayer, and various vehicles that you can unlock. Asphalt 8: Airborne is an older game, but has a metric ton of content for you to play through. It also has online multiplayer and other activities to play. These are both very solid racing games considering their free price tag, but their in-app purchase strategy is a little aggressive. They’re great experiences. They're both excellent free Android games.

• Critical Ops

Price: Free Download
Critical Ops is among the newer generation of first person shooters and it’s one of the best. In this title, you’ll battle terrorists in a variety of urban-oriented levels or you can play as the terrorists if you want to. It has a strong online multiplayer community where you can play with your friends as well. It’s still a work in progress, but it seems to hit all the right marks and it’s updated frequently. If you’d like a first person shooter that’s completely free, NOVA 3: Freedom Edition is quite good as well. They're both free Android games worth checking out.

• Clash Royale

Price: Free Download
Clash Royale is the latest game out of Supercell. They also made Clash of Clans, a former entrant on this list. In Clash Royale, you’ll collect cards, build decks, and then square off in one-on-one duels with online opponents. You'll earn trophies when you win. Similarly, you'll lose trophies when you lose. You’ll also get to form clans to share cards, challenge clanmates to combat, and you’ll have a variety of chances to unlock new cards. It’s a solid card game and a great alternative if you just can’t get into Hearthstone. If Clash Royale just isn't your thing, Supercell also makes the highly popular Boom Beach and Clash of Clans games. Either of those are good enough to make this list too.

• Cut the Rope: Magic Gaming

Price: Free Download
It’s safe to say that Cut the Rope has eclipsed Angry Birds as the must-have time wasting puzzle game on mobile for now. The series has evolved in a positive fashion and Cut the Rope: Magic is the latest iteration. The core mechanics involve you solving puzzles in unique ways to help Om Nom the monster eat the candy. There are a ton of levels, power ups, transformations, and tactics that will be required and you can complete each level without the use of in-app purchases. It will just take some time because this game does rely on an energy system.

• Fallout Shelter

Price: Free Download
Fallout Shelter made huge waves in 2015 and was one of the best free Android games released that year. In Fallout Shelter, you must build a shelter, take in survivors (called Dwellers), and create a thriving ecosystem. You’ll have obstacles such as fires, raids by AI bad guys, and the like but otherwise it’s a pretty standard builder simulation game. The in-app purchases take almost a blatant backseat in this title and the developers have been good (so far) on releasing new and updated content.

• Final Fantasy Brave Exvius

Price: Free Download
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is perhaps the best Final Fantasy-themed freemium game out there. It features tons of elements from the original games, including actual town and dungeon explorations, hidden treasures, secret dungeons, and tons of lore. The game play is simple to learn but you’ll need to think critically in order to beat bosses and hard opponents. You’re frequently rewarded for logging in daily and additional missions, quests, and activities helps keep the game fresh. This is about as good as it gets for freemium titles. If this one isn’t doing it for you, but you love Final Fantasy, you can also try out Mobius Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy Record Keeper which are both pretty good free Android games.

• Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft

Price: Free Download
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is a card dueling game where you unlock cards, build decks, and then duel other players using the deck you built. You can build multiple decks and Blizzard has been pretty good with putting out regular updates to add more cards and content. You can also log into your account on mobile or on PC which is a really nice touch. If you don’t want to face real players in real-time PvP combat, you can always beat down or for practice. It’s free to play which makes it easy and accessible for everyone to try out. It's definitely one of the best free Android games out there.

• NOVA Legacy

Price: Free Download
NOVA was one of the first successful first person shooters on Android. NOVA Legacy is the latest installment and it's already one of the best free Android games. It comes pack with better than average graphics and controls. There is also a story line, online multiplayer mode, and a rudimentary crafting system. The game has a sc-fi story line. Thus, it brings something a little different than most mobile shooters. It'll no doubt be one of the best games released in 2017.

• Pokemon Go

Price: Free Download
Pokemon Go was the biggest mobile game of 2016. Actually, it was the biggest ever. Even though its popularity has tapered off a bit, the game is still a very solid free option. Players can explore the real world around them all while catching Pokemon, taking down gyms, and finding Pokestops. New additions include legendary Pokemon, raid battles, and more. The game continues to evolve beyond what many remember it to be. It’s one of the great free Android games

• Vainglory

Price: Free Download
Vainglory is perhaps the best MOBA currently available on Android. It boasts high frame rates, unlimited free play, and solid connections. You’ll be able to team up with people and go head to head against other teams much like you see in all MOBAs. There are also decent graphics, more than 25 heroes to unlock and play with (or against) if you wish to. There is also a beta version that can use the Android Vulkan if you want to check that out.

HOW TO UNLOCK ANDROID PHONES WHEN YOU FORGET THE PIN/PATTERN

If you've forgotten your password/pattern after locking your phone for security reasons, use the "Forgot Pattern" feature.

• If your device is running Android 4.4 or lower, try using the "Forgot Pattern" feature.

After 5 failed unlock attempts, you'll see a message that says "Try again in 30 seconds." While this message is showing, tap the button at the bottom of the screen that says "Forgot Pattern."

Proceed and click on the "Forgot pattern/password"

From here, choose "Enter Google account details" (depending on your device, you may go directly to this option), then click Next.

Now insert your Google account that you've signed up with on Google play store already or your Gmail adress login info you've been using on that particular phone till the time it got locked, and click on the "Sign in" button after you're done.

• Second option, you can also perform a Factory Reset.

If you're not concerned with getting your phone's data wiping, a factory reset should work for you, but due to a new anti-theft feature called Factory Reset Protection, you'll need to know your Google account password to use this method if the phone was released in 2016 or later.

The process will vary depending on your device type, but for most phones, start by powering the device completely off. When the screen goes black, press and hold the Volume Down Button, the Home Button and the Power Button respectively at the same time, which will bring up Android's bootloader menu.

From here, press the volume down button to move dowards to highlight the "wipe data/factory reset" option, then press the power button to select it. After that, your phone will automatically restart by itself. *Make sure you have adequate battery life before carrying on with this exercise.

If it's a newer phone, you'll be prompted to log in with the Google account and password that was previously used on the phone before it was locked. As long as you know this information (which you should), it's just a matter of logging back into your Google account to regain access to your phone at this point.
