I'm avoiding covering freebies given that there's no cost for you, our reader, to 'review' such games on your own and see if they fit into your gaming lifestyle. However, if there's a game that I feel particularly strongly about then I'll cover it. Blobby Volleyball made the cut. First, when I saw it I was so pleased as it remined me of one of the few (and I mean few) games I had on my old

NFL Pro 2012
The last week of the NFL's 2011-2012 regular season is upon us and shortly after will be the playoffs. I made my SuperBowl prediction two weeks ago and, unfortunately, I'll only be seeing my favorite team in action after this weekend in football games such as this one. What? You want to know my SuperBowl pick, too? Well, read on and I'll reveal that along with a review of this game.
NFL Pro
Chess: Battle of the Elements
I've had a renewed interest in chess lately as I've been getting a bit tired of the EuroGames that I've been such a fan of over the past many years. Chess, the game of kings, appeals because of the pure strategy nature of the game. My problem with it has always been my lack of patience. A lack of patience when it comes to planning and plotting several moves ahead which is mandatory if I'm ever
Top Ten Android Games after Two Years of Android Gaming
It's been over two years since I purchased my first Android device and gaming sure has changed on this platform. I remember being quite disappointed with Android gaming when contrasted to what was available on iOS, but I stuck with it and two years later and we've got games like Grand Theft Auto III making a showing on Android. However, and I've been wanting to do this for months, I think there
Loot and Scoot
A category that has really gained momentum on the iOS platform, but continues to be neglected on Android is the board/strategy category. Loot and Scoot arrived from tiny Victory Point games earlier this month and I'd been considering purchase of the cardboard version of this game. At $2.99 getting a digital one with AI didn't require any further consideration. However, when I went to download
Great Little War Game
In a market crowded by puzzle game after puzzle game it's always nice to see something fill a gap. Android has had a few strategy war games, but none that have really shined bright. Great Little War Game (or GLWG for the balance of this review) looks like it fills the gap nicely.
GLWG is a turn based strategy game with a little comic humor thrown in and a lot of planning and strategy. But let's
Earth and Legend - Mini Review
I'd been watching Earth and Legend and jumped on it today when it went on sale at 80% off. I guess perhaps that's my first issue. A price change from $6.99 to $2.99 isn't 80% off, but $2.99 seemed like a deal for a game of this scope. So I pulled it down... downloaded the extra game content and gave it a try on my Epic 4G. My phone clearly struggled with the game which I wasn't too surprised by,
Sleepy Jack
Sleepy Jack was part of the Android Market's $.10 sale at the beginning of the month which is the primary reason I purchased it. At $.10 I pretty much gobbled down anything that looked remotely interesting and even splurged on the Christmas wallpaper which I wouldn't normally do. I just don't like the extra power consumption that goes along with fancy wallpaper not to mention running extra,
Dear Sites Dedicated to Android Software Piracy,
Thanks you for your countless sentences of praise towards this blog. I am as sincerely touched by such compliments as I am sure you are genuine in writing them. I am sure the extra bonus link to pirated versions of Android software has nothing to do with your posts, however, because of such links I cannot allow them to be added to the content of this blog. You are wasting your time here.
Block Rogue
Our next game on the roguelike beat isn't really a roguelike, but has a little inspiration from them. Block Rogue is a sokoban-style puzzle game, but with a couple interesting twists. Much like the amazing Spelunky, it's a game in a different gnere (here, puzzle games) that generates levels procedurally. Done well, it's a recipe for nearly infinite gameplay. Done poorly, it's an express route
10 Billion Downloads = 10 Days Of Offers
I suppose it's my civic duty to post this and, given that we're on day three, all I can say is better late than never. The Android Market is celebrating 10 billion downloads by partnering with various app developers to all but give their apps away and these are VERY highly rated apps.
Today I'd highly recommend Homerun Battle 3D, Can Knockdown 2 and, at a dime, Reckless Getaway. Toki Tori is a

X-Men
X-Men has been installed on my Transformer tablet for some time now and it's never quite made it to the top of the list for my next review. I liked Captain America and have always thought the X-Men could make a great video game. This title, however, doesn't attempt to do that, but instead brings back the classic arcade game from the early '90s.
So let's head back to around 1990 which was a
Demolition Master 3D
I reviewed iDemolished almost 2 years ago. Wow, has time flown by. I enjoyed iDemolished and some of its kin quite a bit so when I noticed Demolition Master 3D (and its goal of taking these games into the third dimension) I bit.
First, the premise is simple. You've got a structure made of girders of various strengths (wood, steel, ...), a backpack full of high explosives, and the need to
Infinity Blade not coming to Android?
On Thursday it was announced that the iOS hit Infinity Blade isn't coming to Android. My response? I've played it on iOS until I got tired of it and given that that took 2 minutes I say "who cares?". You see... Infinity Blade isn't much of a game. It's gorgeous to the nth degree, but it seriously lacks when it comes to fun. In a nutshell you're just battling monster after monster. I'd much rather
NFL Flick Quarterback
I loved Flick Golf! I love football a lot more than golf. So, by the transitive property I should really love NFL Flick Quarterback. Not so fast...
NFL Flick Quarterback is the third of Full Fat's series of flick games (the other being soccer). It adds a full NFL license to the package which will apparently cost buyers an extra $2 (this game is $2.99 whereas the others are $.99) and allows you
Legends of Yore
In my last appearance here, a while ago, I had a look at Sigmore Mines 2. I wanted to try some of the other roguelike games available on Android, since a well done game in the genre would be just about the perfect application for me. The next one I tried is Legends of Yore, a roguelike specifically created for mobile devices, and which is now available across a variety of platforms, including
Where's My Water?
Yeah, I know. Regular readers of this blog might be more likely to ask "Where are my game reviews?' than "Where's My Water?". And I'll resolicit for help in writing such reviews. Help! Covering Android gaming has thankfully blossomed into a job that's much too big for one (or two, as I've had some help) to handle. We'll keep plugging away at it, though...
Where's My Water is a Disney title.
Where's My Water is a Disney title.
Clouds & Sheep
What can I say about Clouds & Sheep? Well, first off it's free and I'm trying to avoid reviews of such games. At the same time this one is different. Ok, not totally different as it really falls into a 'sims' style of game. This time, however, instead of managing a city or a family or a farm or a... you get the idea... you're managing a flock of sheep. If that doesn't sound like fun then you're
Riptide GP
I picked up the Riptide GP demo back when I first got my Transformer tablet and was looking for games that took advantage of the Tegra 2 chipset. I had to admit that it really wowed me. The graphics on this game are drop dead gorgeous especially for a device that I can hold like a steering wheel. However, the $6.99 price tag scared me away. Since then it's dropped to $4.99 and there was even a $
Halloween Sales
I know a lot of Halloween Sales have been going on over the weekend and it's awesome to see these sales finally spreading to Android. We're closing in on the end of them so hop to it if you've been missing out.
First off... Riptide GP has dropped from $6.99 to $2.99. It's an awesome Hydro Thunder type game for Tegra 2 devices such as the Transformer tablet. It looks and plays great and is now

Flick Golf!
I really was apprehensive about Flick Golf! and its claim of an 'accurate in-flight spin control', but tonight that changed. I've played a lot of Flick Kick Field Goal and have to admit that sometimes the question of accuracy enters my head. I don't think there's a problem with that game... I think it's probably a combination of my inaccuracy as a human and my phone's hardware (probably more so
Clowning Around
I was first introduced to Clowning Around on my iPad and was pleased to see it make the jump to Android. It looks like they did a pretty good job on the conversion, too. This is among the few games that my five year old loves and, given that I'm a bit surprised that she's not more into games considering my massive collection, I am always grateful to a publisher that can capture her attention
Schoon's Top 10 Android Games - October 2011
There are so many good games on the Android platform now that it is becoming of difficult to keep up with them all. With the Droid Incredible's problem of "Not enough space" rearing its ugly head quite often for me I usually try to keep no more than 30 or so Apps on the device. This doesn't leave me with a lot of room for games but the ones that I do have I really enjoy playing. I decided to
Why Android is starting to suck... (or bye, bye SNES9x)
What a controversial statement! Where am I going with this?
Quite simply a core reason I chose Android over an iPhone is the heavy handed practices of Apple in choosing to disallow Flash support and heavily monitoring all apps available on their devices (which translates to no classic game console/computer emulators). Since then the Android Market seems to be gradually digging up and rooting out

Boulder Dash Contest
Edit: Boulder Dash is a game from my childhood and I'm glad to see it appear on Android (although I continue to loathe the in-app purchase system that's becoming so commonplace). I'm not sure $150 is enough to inspire brilliance, but I'm guessing the goal is moreso to inspire reprinting of their press release (even though they were too cheap to toss a review copy my way)...

iRunner
This game has been installed on my phone since it was released. If you understood how often I swap out games from my home screens you'd appreciate how much that means. It's not just that my six year old boy loves this game. It's also that it is just plain fun. With over 72,000 reviews in the Android Marketplace and a 4.6 star rating you really can't go wrong with it. Oh, let's not even
Early Bird
The early bird gets the worm and apparently has now inspired a video game. Early Bird is another game that pretty clearly tries to borrow something from Angry Birds while offering something different. The premise is simple. There's a worm in the ground and your little birdie wants it. However, along the way there are other tasty treats to eat and hazards to deal with. Like many games in the
Icebreaker Hockey
Icebreaker Hockey is one of those games I've been looking forward to. Well, any sports game falls into that category and we could use another quality hockey game on Android. Warning: Icebreaker Hockey is NOT another quality hockey game.
First, I tried it on my tablet. After making the purchase, downloading the game, and launching it I was promptly greeted with a crash screen. For good measure I

Greedy Spiders
If you frequent any of the App stores I know you've seen Greedy Spiders. It has received consistently high marks from each of the app stores. On Amazon and Google it is currently running for .99. If you're quick and you've read this within a few days of me writing it, you can even pick it up for free on the GetJar application store. So, just what is Greedy Spiders? Well, it's sort of a cross
R-Type
Shoot 'Em Ups have been around since the early inception of arcade gaming. Arcade games, however, are quite another animal when compared to today's console and now mobile gaming arenas. The big difference? Arcade games were geared at offering a minimal amount of play time while providing enough incentive so as to quickly consume your quarter, but leave you willing to spend another. Today's
Pollushot
I think we can all agree that pirates are bad news, but do you know what the biggest issue with large pirate colonies is? Yep... all that rum drinking and treasure map making can only yield... lots of pollution. Somebody has to clean it all up. Why not you?
Pollushot uses a sling-shot type control called a sling-ship to catch the rubbish falling from the sky which doubles as ammunition. You
Super Stickman Golf Now Available
Super Stickman Golf was released for Android yesterday and, while I'm not going to do a full review (because it's a freebie), I will say that I played it a fair amount on my iPod Touch and it's a great little game. In a nutshell, it's 2D golf and your goal is to use your golfer and his power swing to knock the ball into a hole just like real golf. However, that hole may be above you or below you
AR Invaders
One blessing from Sunday's demise of my phone is that I can finally review AR Invaders. Why couldn't I before? Because the game is huge... the Market claim is 35 meg, but my full device said over 40 meg and begged me to do an uninstall immediately after downloading it. Surprisingly, it doesn't support App2SD which would seem like a cardinal no-no with a game of this size. But I've got a fresh,
A Dead Phone, Sprint, and Insurance
My phone had been acting flaky for a couple of months now, but I'd been too lazy to take it in to be looked at. After all, I was pretty confident it would work fine in the store and I'd be send home with a pat on the head. One example is while driving down the highways of Chicago in rush hour traffic not knowing exactly where I was going I'd take look over at my Phone/GPS only to figure out that
GameLoft Sale
Despite the fact that my kids went back to school about 3 weeks ago, GameLoft is holding a 'Back To School' sale featuring 3 of their games for just $0.99 each: N.O.V.A. 2, Asphalt 6, and BackStab. All three of these are solid games and a steal at $0.99 plus it's a chance to show GameLoft that being a part of the Android Market is a good thing versus their goofy system that ties your game

Refraction
Puzzle games, puzzle games... puzzle games are a crowded room on mobile devices. Yes, here's another puzzle game reviewed for a crowded market of puzzle games, but this one, I believe, offers something different. Refraction is a game all about light. Have you ever seen those board games like Laser Battle or Khet in which you're moving your pieces in a chess like fashion in an attempt to fire a
Sprinkle
You'd think when coming up with a name for a game company one could do better than 'Mediocre'. In fact, after purchasing the game Sprinkle for my Tegra based tablet I saw that it was just mediocre and wondered what I had just committed to, but alas it was just the company's name. I can just imagine some guy calling and saying "Hi, this is Bob from mediocre software...". Fortunately the game is
Last Week
Last week was a frustrating week for me in Android land and makes me worry about the future of Android. Let's dig right in...
First up, USA Today had an interesting article stating that piracy is a big problem for the Android platform in response to the massive discrepancy many developers see in their iOS vs Android sales. I'm sorry, but if you feel the need to pirate $2 games then there's

Press Release: Cave Escape (A Free Game for Android)
Cave Escape is an action, falldown-type game with simple tilt control. The star of this game is a brave spider entering a mysterious cave on an adventure into the depths of the earth. Players need to guide the spider inside the cave using the tilt of their device and avoid hitting the top of the screen.
During the journey, players will discover various special items that can be used to help
Press Release: Army & Maiden M2 for the Android Phone
Army & Maiden is a real time war simulation game in a fantasy world. You can clear a stage in about 1-5 minutes. The operations are simple. You drag the "Move Marker". Your units move to marker's places. Units automatically battle in a display. Units have differing abilities. And units have some skills. "Clear Time" and "Score" are recorded. You must aim at the high score. Let's challenge !
Madden 12 - A First Look
If I was the only team in the NFL then I'd be a lock for the Super Bowl. So even before I start my review let me just say you know it's not going to be bad. Being the only true football game in an empty field makes this the undisputed champion, but I'll try not to be too biased now that we have a foundation for Android football games.
Madden 12 is, well, Madden football on Android clearly isn't

Press Release: Virtual City will hit the Android Market on September 1st!
San Francisco, California – 8/30/2011 G5 Entertainment, known for its best-selling iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac and PC casual games like Supermarket Mania, Mahjong Artifacts and Virtual City, today announced that players' favorite building simulator, Virtual City, will arrive on the Android Market on September 1, 2011.

Finger Football
I'm on football season number 3 with an Android device and there still isn't a solid American style football game for Android. EA indicated Madden was coming almost a year ago... but when? And Gameloft hasn't ported their NFL title over either. Even more so, I'm kind of surprised nobody has stepped up to the plate to fill this gaping hole in Android's game library. We've got 5 decent baseball

The excellent Stellar Escape is Amazon's Appstore freebie of the day. Grab is before the day is up (if you live in a supported area)!
Lane Splitter
Being a motorcycle owner and rider in real life I'm sometimes a sucker for any new motorcycle game that comes along. I used to love the old moto gp games on the consoles and some of the newer side scrolling motorcycle games have been fun as well. Lane splitter takes a different approach and gives us a top down view of our motorcycle and the road. Once you're riding all you have to do is steer
GameLoft has 6 of their games of sale for $.99
I complain enough about GameLoft's slighting of Android owners, but now they're offering six of their games for $0.99. The only minus is that you've got to get them through their goofy store vs the Android Market. Click the title for more details.
The games are:
Eternal Legacy
Ultimate Spiderman: Total Mayhem

Captain America
We all have biases and when I saw Captain America appear in the Android Market around the time the movie was released I think I created what the game would be in my mind. I figured that it would be a game about a super hero with puzzle elements to solve based around super human abilities. Oh, and I figured tossing my shield around to activate a switch and knock an enemy down here and there would
Press Release: Beer Pong HD adds online multiplayer mode and Android Central table!
Edit: While the name Beer Pong is a bit of a turn off for me, personally, I still need to check this out as I like Pong and it's got great ratings. However, my focus has shifted to reviews of paid games unless there's a stand out freebie as there's no risk in trying a freebie.

Spirit HD caught my eye as part of a 50% sale that Jakyl is having. It looked to have cool, vector style graphics and made me curious. The game play is a simple, arcade style experience. You quickly drag your finger on the screen and Spirit will follow surrounding its enemies in a bubble that quickly absorbs them into oblivion. The game actually features three modes of play. The second simply

Carcassonne
Carcassonne is among the ealier Eurogames that have achieved great popularity and is among a handful of 'gateway games'. The term 'gateway game' simply means it's a good choice when introducing someone used to playing the amazing amount of bland games that adorn the shelves of WalMarts nationwide to 'designer boardgames' or Eurogames which typically rely far more on strategy and good decision
Airport Mania 2: Wild Trips
It bummed me out when I saw Airport Mania 2 arrive on the iPhone before it made it on to Android. After all, Amazon Digital Services would seem to have an interest in providing an Android version in their App Store first especially with plans to release their own Android based tablet. But it was not to be. I was pleased to see it make the jump a few weeks later and see that they've also skipped
Deadly Dungeons
Edit: It's been two weeks and it seems like ages since I last posted a review... I've been busy with paying the bills and a mini-vacation at Gen Con 2011. Still, I've decided to maintain a focus on writing 'real' reviews with some depth vs just trying to get new content up every day. I've also had a little help with the reviews, but am always looking for more. The perks? Review copies of games (
BB Rally Pro
I've always enjoyed Rally Racing simulation games. On the consoles, the Dirt series has given me a lot of satisfaction. On the Android, the only racing game that I've spent any real time with is Need for Speed Shift which isn't exactly an off road simulation. When I was given the opportunity to review BB Rally Pro I was excited as I generally enjoy racing games. Installation was a snap and
Gurk (and Gurk II)
It was the mid-80s when Ultima IV hit my home computer. I had just started writing computer software to make a little money and purchased this game in part because I thought Ultima III looked and sounded (it had a great audio track) cool. And I played Ultima IV for months jotting little notes on wrinkled up scraps of paper to help me remember my quests, where nightshade (a spell ingredient, if I

Doodle Fit combines the overdone 'doodle' style of graphics with the well represented 'fit the pieces together' style of puzzle. Couple that with a lot of polish and we've got a nice little game on our hands.

Dorset, UK, July 11th 2011 – Independent game developer Shiny Egg Studios announced today that its puzzle game “Domino Run” and the demo version “Domino Run Lite” have been released through Android Market.

To be or not to be a Death Worm. That is the question. For whether it is... Shakespeare? Death Worm? Nothing in common. Death Worm is pure, adrenaline pumpine, arcade action. You're always moving... always sliding back and forth through the earth. Always, that is, until you surface with enough speed to shoot into the sky like a rocket ship. However, such trips are short lived and its back into
Candy Swipe is for sale... No, Really... The WHOLE game on eBay!
Edit: I got this in my Inbox this morning and I'm always interested in such things. $500,000 is the asking price for the full rights to this game that generates $X,XXX+ per month. I'm not sure if that's more than $X+ per month or not. It does state that roughly 3,300 copies have been sold for about $10,000 minus the 30% the Market takes for a total of $7,000. $500,000? I think not.

BackStab
BackStab from GameLoft hit the Android Market earlier this week and, given its steep price of $6.99, I decided to bump it in the review queue. Actually, it's amusing that $6.99 is a steep price for a top tier game having paid $30 and up in the past for games that arrive on little, plastic discs. The other side of this story is that this marks the fifth premium GameLoft titles to hit the Android
BackStab now available in the Android Market
BackStab was one of those hot Xperia Play (Playstation Phone) exclusives, but it's now available for all (most?) in the Android Market.
As an aside, I finally got to try out the Xperia Play the other day and 'Wow!' is that control pad small for my giant, American hands. I'm glad I didn't wait for that... never mind about no 4G.

Press Release: G5 Entertainment games are now available on Android
Edit: While I'm always happy to see new Android games from new companies and I'm all for paying for a quality game, I'm mixed on the whole "in app" unlocking. I guess I wish the Android Market had a place for paid games, a place for free games, and a place for game demos. Please note that all of these 'free downloads' are trial versions.

Down from $2.99 to $.99, Death Worm is having a 67% off sale. In a nutshell, you are the Death Worm and you slither (and fly) about consuming and destroying everything in sight. The game garners quite good feedback in the Android Market and looks like a steal at this price.

TNT can in the lower left of

How do you turn a dexterity oriented game into a digital version of the same? When I reviewed Jenga the answer was "you don't", but Can Knockdown 2 shows that there's more than black and white to this question. Can Knockdown 2 is an Android adaptation of the old, carnival game where you're tossing balls at various
All Mighty RTS July 4 Sale
Just a quick note that while Apple owners rejoice with countless sales that we Android owners seem to be all too often overlooked when it comes to holiday sales.
However, the All Mighty RTS is on sale for $0.99. Not a huge deal given that the game is normally just $1.49, but it's more than GameLoft or EA did for us while their 99 cent deals abound on the 'other side'. There's also a free version

Settlers of Catan Released
The Android version of Settlers of Catan made its debut today in the Android Market at the 'introductory' price of 3 euros (or about $4.33 US) under the app name of 'Catan'. Early reviews in the market seem mixed, but that's mostly rthe usual 'worked/didn't work for me' stuff versus how good it actually is when it works (although I agree that I'd have expected thorough testing to ensure it works
Cut the Rope
Edit: Cut the Rope is the third in a series of reviews covering the three puzzle games: Nano Panda, Burn the Rope, and Cut the Rope.
My first exposure to Cut the Rope was on Apple's platform. It, like Angry Birds, really didn't do much for me at first and didn't make me decide to purchase it. However, both arrived on Android for free (as ad supported titles) and after giving it time I came to

Solitaire Chess
by Bill Schoonmaker
I'm sure many of you know how to play chess. You probably know how the pieces move and you might even know a few opening moves but how often do you really get to sit down and practice? With Solitaire Chess by ThinkFun you will have a world of practice right on your phone. Solitaire Chess is not your average chess game. Instead, think of individual chess puzzles that you must

Zenonia 3 is now available in the Android Market
As much as the Apple AppStore still dominates on the gaming front, it's great to see that there are now PLENTY of great Android games to the point that I just don't think it matters, from a gaming perspective, which platform one gets.
Today we see the launch of Zenonia 3 from GAMEVIL as another Android freebie! And I still haven't even had time to play Zenonia 2...

Edit: Burn the Rope is the second of a block of three puzzle games we are reviewing (the others being Nano Panda and Cut the Rope).
Burn the Rope is a puzzle game that involves setting rope on fire and who doesn't like setting stuff on fire? Ok, so now that I've revealed my inner pyromaniac that reminds me of a story. Back when I was younger my brother and I broke the long, green, plastic

Nano Panda
Edit: The next three reviews will cover Nano Panda, Burn the Rope, and Cut the Rope (all recently release puzzle games that hit the same part of the brain). The first two are currently available in the Android Market and Cut the Rope is set for imminent release on the Android Market and can be obtained from getjar.com until then.

Origins 2011
Just a quick post that I'm still alive. The good news is that I've had time to play lots of new Android games. The bad news... I still have to find the time to write them up.
I've actually been at the Origins 2011 Game Fair from Wed-Sun of this past week and while that has little to do with Android gaming it left me with time to do half the work on several upcoming reviews.

Jenga
In the board game community one of the game classifications is "dexterity game". Jenga clearly falls under this class of game. And recently Jenga earned a special place in my heart when it became the first game that requires some thought that I could actually play an intelligent and competitive game of against my 4 year old. So how do we translate a game that requires the infinite precision of

Reiner Knizia's Labyrinth
Renier Knizia is a prolific game designer. He designed what I currently consider to be my favorite game of all time. He's also a big time egomaniac as demonstrated by his insistence on renaming all of his works from "Game X" to "Reiner Knizia's Game X". His earlier games showed off Knizia's brilliance, but his latest games are often rehashes of shoebox formulas in game design so I'm always

Sigmore Mines 2
If you had only one word in which to interest me in a game, the word to choose is "roguelike". I have logged an astounding quantity of time playing roguelike games, including ascending every character class in Nethack, winning Angband with a half-dozen character or so and just basically playing these types of games as much as I can. Nethack, in fact, was the first thing I downloaded on my Droid
Army Sniper
I've enjoyed the idea of sniping in games ever since Unreal Tournament introduced the concept (and I don't know that it was first). Finding a good hiding place and then waiting for that surprise kill only to repeat the process (as nobody ever knew what hit them) was quite a rush. Next came arcade games like Virtua Cop and Silent Scope which turned sniping into an arcade experience. Army Sniper is
Super Drill Panic
Super Drill Panic advertises itself as being part of the "dropping ball" genre. I had not heard this catch phrase before so I figured I had to try it so that I could also be one of the "cool kids". After playing it I'd say it felt more like a reverse Doodle Jump so I then checked out some other "dropping ball" games. Super Drill Panic was far better than they were so here's the review.

Walkabout
When my Android tablet arrived two weeks ago I immediately started installing apps. After that was done I then started testing apps and it's stunning how many games have problems on these new tablets whether it be not taking advantage of the big screen or the accelerometer not being interpreted correctly or what not. I'm not blaming anyone as progress has its sacrifices, but naturally it would be
Plants vs. Zombies

I'm an emulator nut as I love retro gaming and while I've decided to refrain from reviewing emulators they are high on the list of reasons why I went Android over iPhone... so this is important news to me.

My Android tablet finally arrived today (an Asus Eee Pad Transformer). The packaging was mighty similar to the iPad 2 with a nice cellophane wrapper around the phone.

Big Hit Baseball
The Square Enix name on a game is pretty much a guarantee of a good role playing experience so I was surprised to see their entry into the sports arena with Big Hit Baseball. Now, do we really need another baseball game? Baseball is one of few sports that is well represented on the Android platform while good Football and Basketball games continue to be absent, but I guess companies have to make
Gameloft Returns to Android Market
Gameloft has finally returned to the Android Market in a small way. Asphalt 6 and Modern Combat 2 are both available for $6.99. It's been 10 days since their press release and I've been waiting to see if their other titles make the jump... and I'm still waiting. Baby steps. Hopefully this will work out well for them as their game quality is generally excellent.

Gamevil, one of the premier mobile developers, is having a $0.99 sale in the Android Market. Their games, such as the Baseball Superstars series and the Zenonia series, are among the best of their kind on the Android Market and are EASILY worth $0.99. You might want to just go ahead and grap them ALL at these prices.

Jane's Hotel is a casual strategy game from Realore Studios, the first game I've played from them. The obvious game comparison is with Diner Dash, as Jane's Hotel has the same kind of rapid-fire realtime gameplay. I wasn't much of a fan of Diner Dash, but does Jane's Hotel do a better job?

This time I wanted to review a game that has been on my device for quite some time. A game that I keep going back to again and again. One that hasn't lost its place on one of my 7 precious Sense UI screens. This game, is Hex Defense by the team at gotow.net. Hex Defense is a tower defense game.

I recently got an iPad 2. Yes, I know... I'm a traitor to the cause, but in my defense there's a lot of great stuff available for iDevices (board game conversions in particular) coupled with my desire to move into mobile development soon such that the pros outweighed the cons. Plus, I still have an Android tablet on order which will be my primary usage device. Anyhow, two of the things that have
Press Release: Space Out from Zygo Games
About the game
Space Out puts a new spin on the break out / break the blocks type of game - instead of a bat you tilt your phone to control where the ball goes. Try to keep the ball inside the level boundaries and break all of the bricks to proceed to the next level.
Level boundaries aren't boring rectangles and the gaps don't stay still. A series of power ups are available to help you along the

Hey, That's My Fish!
Hey! That's My Fish is among few simple yet elegant board games that is easy to learn, but hard to master as cliché as that may be. When I saw that it has arrived in the Android Market I was quite excited. At $4.99 it's kind of pricey, but I can't blame them for charging top dollar for a quality title and this is very well done.

Hero Princess
Amazon.com is fighting hard to gain a foothold with respect to selling software to Android owners. It's been a bit of a surprise to me that they still haven't established themselves on an international level, but they are working hard to have some quality games that aren't available on Google's Android Market. Hero Princess is one such quality game. It reminds me of an old, old game I had on my
Dark Nova
Dark Nova is apparently an adaptation of an old Palm OS game, Space Trader. I owned a couple Palm devices back in the day but never played Space Trader. The game looked interesting, though, and contained the magic "RPG" words in its description, so I was willing to give it a try. I figured that any game that people wanted to bring back from obscurity like that had to have something going for

They've also developed one of the hot racing games on the iOS platform.

PapiBatting
PapiBatting is simple... real simple. It's another take on the batting side of baseball, but it's pretty clear the game has no intention of challenging Com2Us's brilliant HomeRun Derby 3D for that crown. Instead it goes its own way, perhaps even gaining some fans that might find the former title too complex or difficult. In PapiBatting you get 3 outs before the game is over. I find it odd that an

It's been a grueling decision. Last fall I was attracted to the Samsung Epic 4G as my Motorola Droid started showing its age before its first birthday. However, I'd have had to pay the early termination fee for a full year of service. So I waited and since then we've seen some hot new phones hit the street and even more hit the headlines. There are so many things I'd like my next phone to do. I'd

Generally speaking if a game has a really stupid name like Aporkalypse then I tend to shy away from it. However, HandyGames has generated enough quality titles to warrant an exception to that rule.

Sports games are one of my things... probably because I'm pretty competitive and like winning. And if I don't win, then I'd rather lose than tie. Plus it's from Com2Us... the same folks

Free is my kind of price especially when it's for the full version sans advertising.
