The research explores how AR gaming enhances spatial awareness, attention, and multitasking abilities by immersing players in real-world environments through digital overlays. Drawing from cognitive psychology and sociocultural theories, the study also investigates how AR mobile games create new forms of social interaction, such as collaborative play, location-based competitions, and shared virtual experiences. The paper discusses the transformative potential of AR for the mobile gaming industry and the ways in which it alters players' perceptions of space and social behavior.</p><p>This research investigates the role of social media integration in mobile games and its impact on player social connectivity, collaboration, and competition. The study explores how features such as social sharing, friend lists, in-game chats, and social media rewards enhance the social aspects of mobile gaming. By applying theories from social network analysis and media studies, the paper examines how these social elements influence player behavior and game dynamics, including social capital, identity construction, and community formation. The research also addresses potential risks, such as privacy concerns, cyberbullying, and the commercialization of social interactions, and suggests ways to balance social connectivity with player well-being.</p><p>This research examines the convergence of mobile gaming and virtual reality (VR) technologies, focusing on how the integration of VR into mobile games can create immersive, interactive experiences for players. The study explores the technical challenges of VR gaming on mobile devices, including hardware limitations, motion tracking, and user comfort, as well as the design principles that enable seamless interaction between virtual environments and physical spaces. The paper investigates the cognitive and emotional effects of VR gaming, particularly in relation to presence, immersion, and player agency. It also addresses the potential for VR to revolutionize mobile gaming experiences, creating new opportunities for storytelling, social interaction, and entertainment.</p><p>This paper systematically reviews the growing body of literature on the use of mobile games as interventions in mental health treatment, particularly focusing on anxiety, depression, and cognitive disorders. The study examines various approaches to game-based therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based games, assessing their effectiveness in improving emotional well-being and mental resilience. The paper proposes a conceptual framework that integrates psychological theories with game design principles to develop therapeutic mobile games. Furthermore, the study explores the ethical implications of using mobile games for mental health interventions, such as user privacy, data security, and informed consent.</p><p>This paper examines the application of behavioral economics and game theory in understanding consumer behavior within the mobile gaming ecosystem. It explores how concepts such as loss aversion, anchoring bias, and the endowment effect are leveraged by mobile game developers to influence players' in-game spending, decision-making, and engagement. The study also introduces game-theoretic models to analyze the strategic interactions between developers, players, and other stakeholders, such as advertisers and third-party service providers, proposing new models for optimizing user acquisition and retention strategies in the competitive mobile game market.</p> <p> <a
