Say what you will about the casual - sometimes deceptive - nature of the mobile games industry, but the one thing you can't deny is that they are here to stay. So if we're going to have a mobile game market we need mobile games that aim for something greater. That is most certainly the case with Infinity Blade. At a time when many technologically savvy people had long ago stopped doubting what the industry was capable of, Infinity Blade completely shattered expectations of the kind of graphics a smartphone could produce. Infinity Blade made it clear that the potential of mobile gaming was far greater than most people could have imagined, in the same way that games like Halo and Soul Calibur would introduce their respective systems at the wave of the future. Infinity Blade is the kind of game that you show to your friends just to share the experience of looking at it. That's a sure sign of graphical advancement.
