experience on Android without spending a dime and we’ll show you how
with this list of 26 of the best free Android games.

Bejeweled Blitz

Bejeweled Blitz ended 2013 on a high note as it won “Best Game Franchise” in the Google Play Player’s Choice awards. It’s a fairly simple to play puzzle game where you must match shapes. It’s very simple but very addictive and it’s a time waster that’s already present on a lot of Android devices today. It’s worth checking out if you need something to kill a few minutes.

Blood Brothers (RPG)

Blood Brothers is a mix between a card game and an RPG that was done by Mobage; the same team that did the once-popular Rage of Bahamut card game. In this game you use cards to progress through the game and fight other characters and players. There are over 1000 characters and a strong social media integration. It is Freemium so that may be a problem for some but with an impressive 4.6 rating in the Google Play Store, most people seem to enjoy it.

Candy Crush Saga

Candy Crush Saga is an insanely popular game that a lot of people enjoy even if it is a little simple. It boasts over 400 levels and a “difficult to master” game play. There is also strong Facebook integration so you can play with your friends if you use a Facebook account. It’s not the most in depth game ever, but it’s another great time waster if you need to kill a few minutes.

Clash of Clans

Clash of Clans is one of the most in depth games on our list. It’s a massively multiplayer online real-time strategy game where you build a village, defend it against other (real) players, and then build an army to attack other real players. You can join clans to get extra troops or play alone it’s your call. Thanks to the upgrade times and the variety of upgrades and things to build, this game is not one that’s easy or quick to finish. If you’re into strategy games, this is worth picking up.

CSR Racing

CSR Racing is a mix of a racing game and a simulation. In the game, you drag race other vehicles (both AI and real players) in quarter and half mile races. It’s a deeper game that is quick to play so if you’re looking for a good mix of a quick time waster and a deeper game experience, this is a really good one to pick up. With the recently added online component, it gives the game an extra facet that gives gamers even more to do. If you’re into sims and racing, this is worth trying.

Cut the Rope FULL FREE

Cut the Rope is a cutesy puzzle game where you must feed an adorable little monster its favorite candy. You do so by cutting it down from ropes and avoiding obstacles. You get one star for getting the candy to the monster and you can collect additional stars by hitting the gold stars with the candy before it gets to the monster.
