Our friends over at AndroidNZ went through and did a nice review of the Samsung Galaxy S III phone. When doing their reviews they also like to test out controllers, mostly because the crew over there happen to play a lot of Android games like we do. Good news is a few controllers work right out of the box.

Blizzard's latest addition to the Diablo franchise was just released last week and the launch of Diablo III has been less than stellar due to a variety of emergency server maintenance and patching having been going on since the launch. This, in turn, has pissed off a rather large amount of players.

While a lot of gaming media may not have heard about Pitbull Studio, a game development company in Britain that specializes in getting hired out for specific projects, anyone who owns a Tegra-based Android device should be familiar with the name Pitbull Studio.

Yesterday during the GTC conference nVidia revealed their newest project which takes aim at cloud gaming. This service, called the GeForce Grid, will provide a gaming-on-demand service to any device by streaming it from the cloud to your specific devices.

Following in the footsteps of the nVisions digital magazine, Gamefly have released their own interactive digital publication as well called GameQ. As you might expect from gaming industry themed publication, GameQ will contain in-depth stories, interviews and more. Just like the nVision's magazine as well, the GameQ magazine is available only for tablets.

So a new rumor is rolling around out there that Google is currently developing a Game Center style application and service for Android. While this is a 'new' rumor, back in June of 2011 we actually predicted that this would happen eventually anyways.

In a few weeks time, Facebook will launch its own app store in an effort transform the social network into a premier app destination. App Center will be spread out across the desktop, Android and iOS. It will contain both free and paid apps along with links to Google Play and iTunes should an app need to be installed on devices before they can be used.

You may remember yesterday when we posted our DroidGamers website update and that we talked about a new program we will be opening up for indie Android game developers who would like to advertise here on DroidGamers but can't due to having a tight budget.

So it is time for another update about what is going on behind the scenes here at DroidGamers. Since we like to consider ourselves one big happy family with our readers, we also like to get your thoughts on upcoming features, tell you want we are planning and, of course, announcing new stuff.

Valve seems to continue their push to being a bit more mobile centric. While news is floating around about Valve getting into the mobile hardware game, their Steam service has gotten a bit more mobile friendly thanks to some new improvements.

OnLive has been pretty successful when it comes to their mobile ambitions with their release of their service onto Android devices. Other services similar to OnLive must be taking notice as Gaikai is now jumping into the mobile sphere and having their client integrated into the upcoming WikiPad Android tablet.

Dancing Pixel Studios are the developers responsible for the Sixaxis game controller application for Android. The Sixaxis controller is a PS3 style controller which you can use with your Android device when playing games. Now they have made an application you can use with other bluetooth controllers.

So as many people must know by now, Google Drive is available as of about an hour ago and along with that comes the official Google Drive Android application for Android devices. Also announced is the Google Drive SDK which could seriously benefit Android developers if the SDK allowed for it.

Up until now the Playstation Suite SDK has been in a closed beta but as of today it is now being opened up to more developers and the status is being changed to an open beta. The Playstation Suite SDK is a set of tools developers can use to create games for Playstation Certified devices whether it be the PS Vita or the Sony Tablet S and everything in between.

NVIDIA's own TegraZone is a dedicated app to showcase Tegra exclusive games. New owners of Tegra powered devices can look no further than (except Droidgamers of course) this app to find news and upcoming games and essentially anything Tegra related. With the release of NVISION, the company looks to go beyond gaming and cover all manners of entertainment.

Copycat apps is one of the biggest annoyances in mobile gaming. When one particular kind of app finds great success, some developers choose to piggyback on the popular app instead of trying to create something new and exciting. In some cases, developers take code from existing apps and reverse engineer them to their liking. To combat this, Amazon recommends developers obfuscate their code.

We have talked about the Hooked game recommendation and discovery application for Android a few times in the past. Well late last night an update was pushed out that brings a new feature to the application called Critic's Choice. So what does this new feature entail?

It's every developer's dream to make a fortune off their apps, but the reality is only a small percentage of apps make enough money to send a developer into an early retirement. Sometimes apps literally become more trouble than they're work. Instead of remaining the captain of a sinking ship, developers can choose to sell their app in its entirety on a newly-opened site called Apptopia.

We talk about games on a fairly regular basis that end up being released initially with restrictions on what countries can download it or are just a location exclusive title permanently. This happens a lot with some really great games that happen to end up being for Japan Android users only.

The TwitchTV Android app received its first update today that resolves one of the biggest gripes individuals had with the app. We mentioned in our review how TwitchTV only played back lower quality streams regardless of how good your connection was. With today's update, TwitchTV now allows for a higher resolution option for devices running versions of Android prior to 3.2 Honeycomb.

TwitchTV launched an application for Android in beta status a few weeks ago and since then we have had plenty of time to muck around with this new application. For those of you who are not familiar with TwitchTV, it is another service offered by Justin.TV but is completely gaming related.

Everyone loves a sale and when it is about games or gaming, we like to think we are all over them as much as possible. However, once in awhile we miss spotting one here and there. Thankfully other sites spot these ones like today's rather huge sale on both Splashtop Remote Desktop HD and Splashtop GamePad THD which are both on sale for $4.99.

As hardened Android users, I'm sure you noticed a little bug that has been around for a good while. Whenever you would download an app from a third-party such as the Amazon Appstore, it would show up in Google Play as if you purchased it from there. With the latest Google Play update, that issue no longer exists.

Amazon has announced that, through the use of their new API, developers can now integrate in-app purchases into their applications and games on the Amazon App Store. Amazon will also be accepting in-app purchases from users on both Android devices in general as well as the Kindle Fire.

The Android app ecosystem is apparently a "chaotic cesspool" as far as Research in Motion's Vice President of Developer Relations Alec Saunders is concerned. Last week, Saunders wrote on Twitter that a whopping 25% of Android apps are pirated. As a result, RIM will encrypt apps in the next BlackBerry OS update.
