One such game we have already talked about is Apoc Wars, an extremely popular Facebook game that will be coming to Android and iOS through DeNA’s Mobage social gaming platform.
Super Ping-Pong by Urara Works is one of those games that ends up flying under everyone’s radar until someone comes up to you and tells you to check out this cool little game.
