100% Credit Crunch 2-4-1

There’s never been a better time to be a pocket gamer. As the cuckoos that live in the heads of our gallant politicians lead the world into economic ruin - again - times are looking a little too hard to easily justify spending redundancy money on games.

But, as always, mobile gaming comes to the rescue. We know it’s the cheapest and most prolific platform out there, but even pocket gaming occasionally needs to lure in the thrifty player, and that’s what we decided to look at in this week’s 100% Mobile.

These micro compilations are also a great way to revisit those classic mobile games that got thrown away with your old handset, so it's worth putting a few extra hours aside this week to really get to grips with the extra games we've prepared for you. And since so many people are out of work, it's a way to pass the day until the Job Centre opens, too.

What’s better than a cheap mobile game? Two cheap mobiles! It doesn’t take an out of work accountant to fathom that one, so here’s a list of ten... well, 20 2-4-1 mobile games to help see you through the recession in entertaining style.
