Sometimes, there's no need for fancy consoles and gear to get some fun out of good games. There are plenty of premium mobile games for both Android and iPhone smartphones, if one only knows where to look.

A report from Phone Arena provides a comprehensive list of the season's premium mobile offers and best deals. Mobile gaming has never been this impressive, and the crème of the crop is for the players' taking.

One of the biggest gaming franchises offer an on-the-go experience with Need for Speed: No Limits. The racing game lets players rule the streets from their smartphones with extensive customization options and realistic graphics. Best of all, the mobile version of the chart-topping Need for Speed is free on Android and iOS.

According to a review from Gamezebo, Need for Speed: No Limits wows, saying, "For what it misses in story, Need for Speed: No Limits makes up for this in its breadth of content. There are 30 licensed vehicles that appear, and each of them has upgradable parts and customization options."

Gamers who enjoy a little bit of a scare will have to check out Dim Light, a horror adventure game that has the character navigating pitch-black settings with a flashlight. According to a report from Android Community, monsters lurking in the dark will just attack the player, leaving him no choice but to flee away as there are no weapons to fight. Dim Light is available on Android and iOS for $1.99.

There's also room on the mobile market for a slew of quirky games, and among those is the animated feature AZZL. The puzzle game is called "sweet and a little addicting" by Cult of Mac, specifically due to the delightful scenes and animations created by solving the puzzle. AZZL is a little bit more fantastical and kid-friendly than other games, but the overall app is clever and smoothly created.

The trailer of the game offers a 30-second peek into the experience. "AZZL" is available on the iOS exclusively for $2.99.

Other free mobile games include Shooty Skies and Storm Casters Ultra for iOS users, as well as Paper Monsters Recut which may be downloaded on both Android and iOS devices.

Meanwhile, paid apps that are worth shelling out for are Ski Safari 2 on Android and iOS for $1.99, Freeze! 2 on Android and iOS for $1.99, and PewDiePie: Legend of Brofist for Android and iOS for $4.99.
