Recently acquired by GREE for $210 million dollars, game developers Funzio have brought their hit free-to-play crime game called Crime City over to the Amazon App Store. Crime City is basically why Funzio got acquired by GREE in the first place. Amazon Wireless has been steadily growing in popularity when it comes to grabbing a new Android device. With competition from other similar services, Amazon has done a pretty good job at establishing themselves as one of the major sites to buying Android devices. It's been in beta for awhile now but today marks the dropping of those beta tags. The follow-up to Zeptolab's rather popular puzzle game called Cut The Rope, the newest addition to the series has been released onto Android called Cut The Rope: Experiments HD which you may remember us talking about in the past. In fact it seems to have taken forever for this game to land on Android since we last talked about it. There is a fair amount to talk about today regarding the Amazon App Store for Android. Not only do we have a rather good selection of games on sale for this week during their usual weekly deals on Android games, but today's free app is also pretty good and to top it all off, Amazon's App Store is celebrating turning one year old. Spacetime Studios were on hand at GDC 2012 showing off their upcoming MMORPG for Android called Dark Legends. Let it be known right now this is not the Twilight type of vampire in this game with the whole sparkly drama filled emotional wreck the movies are. Instead, this game contains more of the True Blood type of vampire. Earth and Legend is a rather large 3D RPG with multiplayer gaming functionality that has been on Android for a decent amount of time now. The developers, DvideArts, has just mentioned on their Twitter that the game will be coming to the Kindle Fire soon as well. Amazon generally has a bunch of games and apps on sale at any given time but considering that this is a holiday weekend we figured we would check out what is being offered on the Amazon App Store for sale. We already know that all of EA's titles on the Amazon App Store are on sale for a few days for $0.99. This year has been a mixed bag for Android gamers. Disappointments were the name of the of the day but yet despite the these lowly setbacks, Android gaming also took a huge leap in the right direction. Between massive jumps in hardware performance, more new features added to the OS regarding gaming and gaming specific devices released, it has been a great year for Android gaming. For those of you who have access to the Amazon App Store on way or another, it's time to take advantage of another sale on there. EA has put all of their games on the Amazon App Store on sale for only $0.99 for a limited time. This includes Dead Space for the Kindle Fire for those of you who own one. It has been awhile since we have had to report on a game that is being exclusively launched on the Amazon App Store and we were happy with that. However it seems that quiet break is over as 11 Bit Studios have released their award-winning 'tower offense' game called Anomaly: Warzone Earth onto the Amazon App Store. You may remember back near the beginning of Google's 10 billion downloads promotion that we reported on Amazon doing the same thing with any of the apps that happen to be on their App Store as well as the Android Market. In case you forgot though, this is a friendly reminder along with the current titles available for a dime. G5 Entertainment has been steadily throwing their weight behind the Kindle Fire Android tablet from Amazon. They have been steadily optimizing all their games currently available on the Android Market for the Kindle Fire and have just added two more titles to their line-up for Amazon's rather popular device. CrowdStar's recent game called Top Girl has been a massive success since it's release which comes as a bit of a surprise I'm sure considering what it's about. The mobile social game launched on iOS and has seen 1 million downloads in just 10 days and beating Angry Birds and Zynga Poker as a top-grossing app after just 3 days in the app store. |
