Crytek made a mobile game. If you don't know why that's significant, it's because Crytek is known for graphically rich console/PC games like Far Cry and Crysis, and just the thought that its CryEngine technology was coming to small screens in the tactical action game The Collectables sounds like one of those "so crazy it just might work" ideas. It's an admirable debut effort; one that suggests you could see more from Crytek on your smartphone or tablet going forward.

Since I've never been one to shy away from the obvious, let's start there: The Collectables is one sharp-looking title. Dapper even, if you can use that word for a video game. From the first time the chopper drops off your team of mercenaries until the last (of many) bullets is fired, there's nothing but superbly rendered characters and backgrounds and buttery smooth animations.
