The study compares various mobile health games and their design elements, including rewards, goal-setting, and social support mechanisms, to evaluate how these elements align with motivational frameworks and influence long-term health behavior change. The paper provides recommendations for designers on how to integrate motivational theory into mobile health games to maximize user engagement, retention, and sustained behavioral modification.</p><p>Nostalgia permeates gaming culture, evoking fond memories of classic titles that shaped childhoods and ignited lifelong passions for gaming. The resurgence of remastered versions, reboots, and sequels to beloved franchises taps into this nostalgia, offering players a chance to relive cherished moments while introducing new generations to timeless gaming classics.</p><p>This study compares the educational efficacy of mobile games designed for learning with those created purely for entertainment purposes, examining their impacts on knowledge retention, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Drawing from educational theory, cognitive psychology, and game design, the research evaluates how various game mechanics—such as points, challenges, and feedback loops—affect learning outcomes. The paper investigates how mobile games can bridge the gap between fun and education, proposing a framework for creating hybrid games that are both enjoyable and educational. The research also addresses the challenges of assessing learning outcomes in gamified environments and the role of player motivation in educational success.</p><p>This paper examines the growth and sustainability of mobile esports within the broader competitive gaming ecosystem. The research investigates the rise of mobile esports tournaments, platforms, and streaming services, focusing on how mobile games like League of Legends: Wild Rift, PUBG Mobile, and Free Fire are becoming major players in the esports industry. Drawing on theories of sports management, media studies, and digital economies, the study explores the factors contributing to the success of mobile esports, such as accessibility, mobile-first design, and player demographics. The research also considers the future challenges of mobile esports, including monetization, player welfare, and the potential for integration with traditional esports leagues.</p><p>This paper examines the integration of augmented reality (AR) technologies into mobile games and its implications for cognitive processes and social interaction. 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> <a
