It’s time for another addition to our Weird Wednesday column, where we look up on some rather strange new games to test out. Today we’ve hit on a new game by Maqna Interactive, a Brazilian development studio for both iOS and Android. Coming back from their first release (a 3D space shooter, also free on the market), they’re bringing the Zombie hammer down with a game called Rolling Head.

Spacetime Studios space themed MMORPG called Star Legends has received a new content update that brings with it a few new features and, of course, some new content as well. For those of you who play the game on a regular basis, you’ll be happy to know that the level cap has been raised to 46.
Machineworks Northwest are already responsible for bringing the Duke Nukem 3D game to Android and now they are teaming up with 3D Realms in the hopes that they can get enough funds through a new Kickstarter campaign in order to bring the first two Duke Nukem mobile games to iOS and hopefully Android. These two games were originally released as mobile games back before the smartphone era came about.
One fact that you cannot disagree on is that game developers took iOS a whole lot more seriously the moment Game Center was announced for that platform. Conversely, it also cannot be argued that Android badly needs a Game Center-equivalent to take gaming on Android in general up one notch.
Twindigo’s popular FPS series of games over on iOS has now made the jump, invading the Google Play store with both episode 1 and episode 2. This new FPS game, appropriately named Puppet Wars:FPS will have you taking on evil puppets who are planning world domination.
A new game has popped up on Tegra Zone a few days ago called The Bard’s Tale which is a new game ‘inspired’ by the classic adventure RPG series from the golden days of the Apple II computers in 1985. For those of you unfamiliar with the series, this particular series of games set itself apart from other ones in its genre due to the rather large amounts of humor that was included into the game.
The hype of The Avengers since the release of the movie has continued to remain strong, giving the mobile gaming world an Infinity Blade style game for Android and iOS, although the Android version is still waiting on being released, and now we have a new Avengers pinball table for those of you who play on Zen Studios’ pinball platform called Zen Pinball.
One of the more recent and big announcements coming from the Sony camp is the re-branding of the Playstation store and suite which is now called Playstation Mobile as one whole entity. For those of you who already have access to it, which I believe is in select locations in Europe although I could be wrong, the rest of the world will finally be joining you on October 3rd, 2012. This is when Sony will be rolling out the worldwide launch of Playstation Mobile for Playstation Certified Android devices and the PS Vita.
