nVidia has been hitting the mobile multi-core scene pretty hard lately with Tegra 2 coming out in a fair amount of devices already and the announcement of the Tegra 3 quad-core chip at Mobile World Congress this year. After showing off a working unit at MWC 2011, we were hoping there would be one at GDC 2011 and there was!

[GDC 2011] Qualcomm’s AR Challenge first place winner: Paparazzi. We go hands-on and get a cracked camera.
While not literally cracking the camera on the phone we were using, Qualcomm’s recent AR developer challenge brought in some great games with the winner being a game called Paparazzi. In this game you are the paparazzi and your job is to make money getting the best picture you can of the character that appears.
[GDC 2011] Hands-on with Crimson Heart, another nice looking JRPG coming soon for your Android device.
Tucked away in a booth surrounded by upcoming PC titles was a little game playing on an Android tablet called Crimson Heart. This is your standard looking retro-styled JRPG with nice graphics, touch screen controls, monsters that look both cute and not so cute. Combat, however, looked pretty damn awesome.
Not too long ago we announced before anyone else that Spacetime Studio’s new upcoming game would be called Blackstar. This will be a space-themed MMORPG and will have a massive universe to explore. We got to sit down with our friends over at Spacetime to talk about Blackstar and of course try it out!
Alright maybe it isn’t the Ilomilo for Android but there are a lot of similarities when it comes to Cordy and Ilomilo such as the rotating game world and how the 3D graphics look. Since there is no word on when exactly Ilomilo will be coming to Android, Cordy is it for now but it’s definitely not settling for second place.
