Ratrod Studios has announced a new addition to their Drift Mania franchise is on the way to multiple mobile platforms including Android sometime in the early part of Summer 2013.

Yesterday is a new point-and-click, click-to-move or click-and-hold-and-select adventure game (whatever the kids say these days) by Pendulo Studios that has been out for a while but is new to me.

I have really enjoyed watching the mobile market work hand-in-hand with the point-and-click adventure world and hope to see more blockbusters like Yesterday come out. The game might be short-ish, only spanning several hours (or several days if you play at the glacial pace I do) but it packs in almost too many details and intense moments.
Uppercut Games has brought their robot-filled third-person shooter EPOCH over to Android.
