when you're out and about you'll probably do most of your gaming on your mobile device well now there are ways to make it feel a lot more like a handheld console I've got two devices to show you one for iPhone and another for Android for the iPhone your best bet is the Logitech PowerShell the phone just slips right in here and connects through the Lightning port and what's great about it is that it actually provides your phone with an entire additional charge so you don't have to worry about it dying while you're gaming now the best part about it is that it requires zero setup once it's in there you're good to go I already have across ages 2 downloaded the Logitech website has a full list of games that'll work with the device I'll launch it and now I can use the d-pad to direct my character and these action buttons to do different things like pull out a weapon or launch a menu the PowerShell is really sleek and comfortable especially when you're playing games for a long period of time the downside is that it's a hundred bucks kind of costly but for you avid gamers it might just be worth it if you're an Android owner check out Mogis controllers here I've got the hero power and it's small compact and it won't weigh down your bag the only downside is that the controls are a little smaller and do take some getting used to to set it up your phone slides right into here first you're gonna download the Moga pivot app it'll take you through a short walk through make sure the controller is connected to the device and that you have all the settings correct from there you'll see a library of games that are compatible with the controller because like the PowerShell the game developers need to integrate this into their software when you're all set up just launch a compatible game like Grand Theft Auto or soulcraft and the controller works just like any other you've got your d-pad for controlling your character and these action buttons which of course will vary depending on what game you're playing what's great about the Moga devices is that they feel like real gaming controllers this one is 60 bucks so not too shabby for the gamer who wants a little bit of action on the go if you have any questions or favorites of your own hit me up on Twitter and check out how to cnet.com for more tips like this
