100% Mobile Top Sports Games

All sports are spectator sports. If they weren't, what would be the point in playing? Twenty-two footballers would find the World Cup to be a dull affair if they were the only ones who saw the goals and felt the thrill or the despair of the outcome.

And the reason there are so many dedicated spectators is that we'd love to be the ones on the pitch, court, green or in the ring. There's a limited amount of room in a wrestling ring, however, so our next best step is living out sporting triumph through our pocket games.

Sport is one of those mobile gaming genres that's earned its keep through innovation. The apparent technical limitations of the platform have pushed developers to re-engineer most every kind of sport into a concise, thumb-controlled alternate existence for the armchair athlete.

Don't believe us? Here's our 100% Mobile selection of Top Sports titles to get you in the game. The 100% Mobile Top Sports games
