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
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.
Simple as pie... Doodle Fit is basically a tangram style of puzzle where you place tetris shaped object onto the predesigned pattern in attempt to exactly (no more, no less) cover all of

Contract Killer
If you've been reading MeAndMyDroid.com for long you know that sniper games are high on my list when it comes to shooters. I much prefer the silent, strategic kill versus the frantic, running, and jumping kill. Contract Killer is all about the snipe...
Contract Killer, from Glu Mobile, is a sniping game turned RPG with a lot of story, the need to purchase and upgrade equipment, and it's not on

Death Worm
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.

Death Worm is on sale for $.99 (Updated)
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.
I actually got a chance to try it out for myself this afternoon. It's a cute, fast paced game where you use the on screen

Can Knockdown 2
Mode 3 of the game play. Note the
TNT can in the lower left of
the pyramid.
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
