This new generation of PC games and Microsoft and Sony consoles are promising to turn your mobile devices in to an integral part of your video games experience. Are you prepared to take the enemy head on? Did you know that it matters what phone or tablet you plan on using?
If you are only looking to keep up on your trophies or achievements, and use the devices touch keyboard you can grab the official app that compliments Sony’s Playstation 4 or Microsoft’s Xbox One and use it just fine with a wide range of phones. Here’s a few that would be ideal.

Unfortunately a phone isn’t always going to cut it. Certain second screen apps will require a tablet. Battlefield 4’s commander app is one of the first of these apps. Large high resolution screens are the order of the day so here are a few devices that will help you up your game.

Finally the PC isn’t to be left out and comes with the widest selection of second screen choices. There are several pieces of third party software that can be installed on the PC and your Android or Apple iDevice. If you choose to go this route make sure you’ve got enough speed in your device to ensure you aren’t dropping frames in the middle of battle.

The final PC solution and some would argue the ultimate is the Nvidia Shield. When paired with the correct Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 or higher desktop GPU you get desktop PC gaming on a hand held device. If you don’t have a shield grab one from Swappa!
