"Fallout Shelter"
"The Sims" fans who are also into post-apocalyptic survival will need to play this one. The setting is based on the "Fallout" series, complete with underground vault and supply management. Bethesda's "Fallout Shelter" has been heaped with accolades from all over, and best of all, it doesn't need Internet to play, either.
"Minecraft: Pocket Edition"
This is basically "Minecraft," the smash hit game familiar to block lovers out there, rebuilt and optimized for mobile devices. It's not free to download, though, and will set a player back by almost $7. This mobile version is the real thing, however, and players who have spent hundreds of hours on the PC and console version will have no trouble transitioning over to the mobile version. Even better, the game does not need an Internet connection, except for some online features and multiplayer options. Moreover, the game is still constantly getting updates, all of which are free.
