The games cost $10 a pop, and are controllable with your WiFi-enabled Samsung Galaxy SI, SII, and SIII mobiles -- you'll need to snag "mobile companion apps" for each game to enable controls, which adds some tilt sensor-based waggle (the apps are free). That brings the grand total of notable standalone games on Samsung's Smart TVs to three, but then there's always Gaikai support (http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/05/gaikais-cloud-gaming-beta-samsung-smart-tv/) to tide you over as well, eh? And hey, we hear there's a new Nintendo machine (http://www.engadget.com/tag/wiiu) on the way pretty soon (http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/13/wii-u-price-date-us/), in case you wanna go down the rabbit hole even deeper.
