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.

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.

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.
