The amount of apps and more so the amount of games coming out for the Android OS are increasing everyday. There are not many multiplayer games available but that doesn’t mean you can’t find some good ones. Below are a list of 3 great multiplayer Android games.
Sketch Online
Sketch Online is a Pictionary type game that takes place in a chat room. To get started you create a screen name, add a photo and pick a room. The rooms are divided by language and topic (such as types of animals, objects etc).
Each player takes a turn sketching the item given to them. As other players sketch it’s up to you to guess what the item is. If you get it correctly you and the sketcher get points. The answer is kept hidden until the end of the round. As the turn of sketcher goes around, it will eventually be your turn to sketch. You can choose between different colors, different size brushes and there’s even an option to clear the entire board if you need to start over.
Sketch Online is a great multiplayer game for your Android phone. It’s a free download with ads or there is an adfree version for $1.50
Cestos
In Cestos players control multiple marbles and during their turn their determine the direction and velocity of their marble. After each player has locked in the fate of their marble, all of the marbles are let loose in chaotic fashion. The goal varies by the map but they consist of avoiding pits, land mines and other obstacles.
Its an easy game to learn but there’s also enough strategic substance to keep you occupied. There’s also been lot of players to play with. With the increasing number of apps its great to find fun games such as this one.
Cestos is a free download with a great rating for your Android phone.
Parallel Kingdoms
Parallel Kingdom is another great game with persistent multiplayer online gaming. The coolest feature about this game is that is overlaid on a real time view of google maps and the action takes place at your current location. Your location is constantly updating from your gps location.
There is a small radius that your character can travel without yo physically moving but if you want your character to venture any further you will have to actually move to that location yourself.
The game allows players to explore, collect items and claim different areas on the map. Parallel Kingdoms is a mobile MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game).

Playing games online is something that an increasing number of people around the World are doing every day. However, it’s often the case that many online games will take a very long time to load, and will become extremely “laggy” when you’re trying to play them. To fix this problem, you can use this tutorial to boost the speed & reliability of your online multiplayer games, so that you can constantly come out on top, again & again. Here’s what you need to do:
1) Reinstall / Update Your Graphics Driver - Graphics cards are becoming increasingly complicated… and with that comes the need to produce more complicated graphics drivers. “Drivers” are the software programs that allow Windows to interact with the hardware your PC has, making it vital that you have the most updated & reliable drivers on your system. You should look for updates for your graphics driver, and then try reinstalling it from your “Device Manager”.
2) Reinstall The Game – If you’re trying to play a game that has to be installed to run, then it might be best to reinstall the game. The problem is that many games, when used, corrupt / damage their own program files, making it extremely difficult for that game to run as smoothly or effectively as possible. You should uninstall the game and then completely reinstall it from the ground-up, as this will replace all the program files that it has on your system, improving the speed of the game. You can do this from the “Add / Remove Programs” applet inside Windows.
3) Clean Out The Registry – This is one of the most popular ways to boost the speed of your system & games, and is performed by 1,000’s of people around the World every day. The ‘registry’ is a database which your computer uses to store vital settings & information inside for your computer, and is where every single program on your PC keeps a list of different files & settings. Computer games also store their settings inside the registry database, but unlike normal applications, games store 100’s of settings that they need to use every time you play. One of the biggest reasons why games run slow, or lag, is because Windows cannot read the settings it requires from this database, making the game take a lot longer to run. To make sure this is not a problem, you need to clean out the registry by using a ‘registry cleaner’. This is highly recommended.
