One of my favorite board games as a kids was Monopoly. I never seemed to win a lot but I liked playing. I still have it at the house, which my kids now play. When Monopoly came out for Android, I was a bit skeptical. Could they really reproduce the game in electronic format? Well  after playing it awhile on my ASUS Transformer tablet, I have to say yes!

This post is part two of the series I am doing on the puzzle games from German game designer, Reiner Knizia. If you are familiar with German style board games, then his name is very familiar. If not, check out his website, to learn more. Many of his board games have been ported to iOS and now are making their way to Android. Today I am covering the new game Ingenious.

This post is one of two articles which covers one of my favorite types of games to play on my Android phone, puzzle games. The reason I like puzzle games so much is that they can test your mental (and sometimes your physical) prowess, plus they usually are easy to pick and put down, so you can play them almost anywhere and anytime.

Traffic Control games have been around for some time. In general these games are fun, fast, and potentially frustrating games. You can't just sit back and relax. In today's review, we will be comparing two new Traffic Control Games: Car Conductor: Traffic Control from DroidHen and Train Conductor 2 USA from Voxel Agents.

This cool puzzle game has been out for some time but now that I got an ASUS Transformer, I get to play this and many other awesome Tegra based games!Don't worry though if you don't have a Tegra 2 device though, it's also available for non-Tegra devices too.

Looking to satisfy your craving for first person shooters on your Android phone or tablet? Then look no further than the newly released Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation. In this third installment of their successful Modern Combat franchise, Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation continues the immensely popular military opera with new graphics, story and larger multiplayer.

We have been playing Grand Theft Auto III for mobile for about a week now and so we have had plenty of face time with the uncensored bat swinging car thief game. So with the high expectations one could put on a company like Rockstar Games, did we walk away from this hit game ported to Android impressed?

The brilliant Pro Evolution Soccer is back again, this time with the 2012 edition blazing onto android and packing some pretty good visuals and a great selection of game modes. This just might be the most full featured soccer game to hit android to date... now let's get stuck right in!

What would you do if you where an alien that's just made it to planet earth... that's right, goes around abducting every living thing in sight. Packed full of hostile humans, you have to survive long enough to carry out all the missions set for you by your home planet!

I decided to do something a bit different for this review. Instead of reviewing each game separately, I am going to do a side by side comparison of these games to see which one is the "better" kingdom.  Today I am looking at We Rule by ngmoco and Miracle City Online by DroidHen. Let the battle begin!

Eve of the Genesis, while hardly a new title, is proving itself to be one of the more popular examples of a 16-bit (That's Super Nintendo/Genesis era for you young'ns) RPG throwback. Eve of the Genesis begins as most RPG's of the era, with your main character privy to the first cracks of a potentially world shattering event.

Vogelstein 2D is a hidden little gem of a game, like a well guarded secret.  It also handily serves as an example of what is great about the Android Marketplace.  Sure, your Shadowguns and your Modern Combats get all the "attention", but you have the true hobbyists who tinker and release games.  Many times, these games are a labor of love, and I am proud to report that Vogelstein 2D is such a game.

Vector Unit’s second outing on the Android platform returns to the familiar water racing genre similar to their first hit, Riptide GP that first made splashes on Tegra 2 devices. Leaving behind water tracks in favor of a southern swamps and jet skis for fan boat, Shine Runner’s unique humor and arcade game play is great addition to the racing scene. Is it enough for you to put your swimming trunks on and anchor $1.99?

Looking for another excuse to kill some zombies? Yeah, I thought so. I mean, c’mon, who isn’t? Well, Wildbit Studios has hooked you up with a free release of Paper Zombies—a first person shooter, hack and slash type action and adventure game.

If your idea of flinging a kitty around sounds like fun, then read on. Okay, not a real kitty, but a cool, cartoon-y graphically rendered kitty that you fling around while trying to avoid him from getting frozen, burned, and bashed into walls.

I’m just as much of a fan of gaming as the readers that come here. However, our phones are more than just awesome gaming on-the-go devices. We use these mobile devices for texting, keeping track of our calendar, listening to music, and, yes, occasionally making a phone call. I tend to keep a max of 2-3 screens, and I like to keep my screens pretty uncluttered for the most part.

D20 Studios developed this gem of a game and it’s pretty under-the-radar. I don’t think I would have even known about this game if DroidGamers hadn’t mentioned it before I started homing my blogging craft (which is very much a work in progress). So I decided to take the game for a spin, and I’m absolutely glad I did.

Now I’d love to give the readers a full review. However, I seem to share the same fate that some of you that will download this game will be forced to live through — those dang force closes! The game is almost fun enough that the frustration of the force closes are worth it because I tended to be able to get a bit further each time before the game froze up.

The granddaddy of city management finally lands on Android, and while he's slower and makes less sense; there is still that twinkle in his eye. The Sim City series has had a long history, from its humble beginnings in the dark ages of 1989 to the current day, no one game has quite nailed the balance of fun and frustration of running a city the way that Sim City does.  Sim City and its sequels have been ported to almost every system in existence over the years, some good and some terrible.

Minecraft: Pocket Edition has been out for a little over a month for all Android devices and since then I've been playing with it on my phone and tablets. If you follow Minecraft on any level, you know it's been in beta for a very long time for the PC although it's getting ready for it's final release any day now.

If you’re in a room with multiple Android-carrying phone users, take a minute to look around. I doubt you’ll see too many of us that have the same aesthetic wonderful setups on our phones. Android aficionados tend to be very different in how they want their phone to look.

At first glance and its title, Great Little War Game (GLWG) one might think this is a cute kids game. Well let me tell you it a very well done strategy game that will provide many hours of game play. So sit back, get prepared and ready to wage war.

Jelly Defense is a very nicely done tower defense game for Infinite Dreams. The graphics, sounds, and game play all add up to a great game and one to consider for your Android device. We've been playing it for awhile now and here is our review of Jelly Defense.

So we have been playing around with an all-you-can-eat game subscription service for Android called Appscribe. If that sounds familiar to you, it may be due to us reporting on it back in August, more from a developer standpoint than a user one. This review is based on being a user of the service which is actually pretty nice.

If you are a casual or professional gamer and like RPG type games, I suggest you give Buddy Rush a try. Buddy Rush is a cross-platform social RPG game that is playable on your Android device with people from iOS and on Facebook as well.
