Android, the mobile operating system bought and developed by Google, has made a habit of emulating whatever Apple does with the iOS though, and it was inevitable that Android would stumble into the tablet market eventually. There are around 50 different Android based tablets that are selling in the market today, and their plan of battling Apple's eliteness with their high numbers is slowly working. People who are dissatisfied with Apple, for whatever reasons, are turning to Android and are slowly finding that the Android experience is on par, and better in some instances, than the iOS experience.

Despite the fact that most Android games were initially designed for phones, there are some great Android games that make good use of the larger screens that Tablets have.

Worth mentioning are the gaming apps offered by many Android developers, which make tablets your handy gaming consoles. The Android App Market has an extensive collection of games you can choose from but the top five best games of 2011 are as follows:

Monster Madness

The premise of this game sounds like it’s straight from a B-movie: a group of kids suddenly find their town overrun by monsters and they have to kill them all off to survive. While it sounds hopeless, you do get to do some crazy shooting, chopping and slicing in 3D so it’s not so bad. And the cinematic cut scenes are a nice touch as well. So if you fancy the hack-and-slash genre and like blowing monsters to smithereens, Monster Madness brings it in a big way.

Cordy

This 3D platformer proves that free doesn’t necessarily mean scrappy. The design really is amazingly intricate and as many a gamer has found, cute graphics doesn’t necessarily mean it’s for kids only. Utilizing the Unity3D engine of Android, this game really made me think I was playing the game on a console. If you need a game to entertain both you and your young ones, this is the one to get.

AirAttack HD

This game really wows with real-time 3D graphics, eye-popping backdrops and lots of neat details like destructible buildings.
