A lot of people enjoy racing games and driving games for the sheer fact that you can do a lot of death-defying driving stunts in the game without making your car insurance provider really angry. Take a look at popular video game Grand Theft Auto V and its predecessors, where, aside from living the life of a criminal, you can crash car after car after car with no real consequence outside the game.
There’s also the popular racing game series Mario Kart where you race with your friends… and even sabotage your rivals on the racing track! (Don’t do this in real life!) For those who love motorbikes, games like Trials Fusion and MotoGP 14 are definitely worth checking out.
But these games played on gaming platforms like the PlayStation, XBox, and the Wii, or even the PC. You can’t really bring these games around and play it whenever you want, like, for example, during the long commute home from work.
So, in lieu of these games made for gaming platforms too big to lug around, here is a short list of mobile games you can download and play on your phone, wherever you want, whenever you want!
