Exactly. For example Infinity Blade is pretty much a glorified tech demo that let's you press a button and/or swipe the screen. The game has no actual substance. That is what's missing from every mobile game out there.
That is an unfair generalization.
For example, my favorite genre is the old-school RPGs like JRPGs- something that is pretty much dead on regular consoles (thanks WOW). The DS was a lone hold-out, but now that is drying up.
But with a nice smartphone I have access to TONS of nice JRPGs and light action RPGs (Link to the Past), and side-scroller RPGS (SOTN)-Zenonia series, Symphony of Eternity, Illusia, Eve of Genesis, and Eternal Legacy.
It is like a renaissance for me! But I guess if you are looking for a modern murder simulator there is slim pickings (though ShadowGun and NOVA are cool).
