If you’re a fan of Final Fantasy style RPG games, Battleheart looks like a winner (in face we’re downloading it right now).

Several readers weighed in in favor of Great Little War Game ($2.99), a turn based war strategy game available for for Android, iOS, in Google Chrome, and on the PC.

If you’re a fan of turn-based battle games, we’ve killed quite a bit of time around the office with Uniwar–an additive little game for Android and iOS.

One of the more interesting suggestions came from Bobro. He logged a vote for OnLive, a streaming service that takes popular games and streams them to your devices.

You sign up for the free service, you install the app on your devices (from your PC to your smart phone) and then when you buy a game through the service it is available on all your devices. Thus you can buy Lego Harry Potter or L.A. Noire, start playing them at home, and then continue your game on the road. It’s a pretty novel concept and it certainly blurs the boundaries between mobile and console/PC gaming.

Awesome service, if you not heard about it go check it out (I’m still slightly overwhelmed by playing Arkham City at 720p res on my tablet with perfect performance!!!)
