4 mobile games to play while you wait for The Last Guardian to come out

So The Last Guardian has been delayed, again. It's almost like that game is never going to come out. I mean, none of us are really that bothered because it's not a mobile game, and mobile games are the best sort of games in the whole of the world.

But what if The Last Guardian has caught your wandering eye and you want a game to fill the now extended time between the present and the non-determinate time when the game actually lands on the PS4?

Well, why don't you give one of these pocket-sized gems a go? They might not scratch the itch completely, but they could prove to be a soothing balm for a brief time. And quite frankly that's all any of us can ever really ask for.

The Adventures of Poco Eco

A gorgeous, meditative puzzler that might not be the longest game in the world, but should keep you entertained for its entire slightly stunted length.

Plus it mixes together some of the best parts of mobile gaming. Everything from the sounds to the touch-based control system fits wonderfully into that clever gadget that lives in your pocket.

Broken Age

One of the big successes of the big Kickstarter wave of a few years ago, Double Fine's point-and-click adventure tells a heartwarming and space-spanning story about life and love and probably a load of other things.

It might not be the action adventure game that you're looking for, but there's a sweetness here that emanates from pretty much every pore of the game. And yes, that does sound gross, but still, give it a try.

Her Story

This one makes the list because of its innovative nature and its narrative drive. Sure there are no giant cat monsters in it, but that's not all you're looking for in a game, right?

All the same, this is one of the most interesting games that's come out in the past few years, and it's well worth picking up if you haven't played it yet.

Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP

Sure The Last Guardian might be a massive AAA creation with a huge budget and about a million, million polygons and all those other things that make games more exciting or something, but there's still an indie charm to it.

And it doesn't get more indie or charming than Superbrothers. A brilliant game about knights and magic and figuring things out, it's the sort of game that some people get really angry about. If you're one of those people, don't buy it. But if you're not, er, do.
