Desert Winds lands on the Android Market in a mini-game format for now

One game we have been waiting to play for quite some time after getting a few instances of hands-on demoing is Desert Winds by Southern Interactive. For those of you who missed any of our previous coverage of this game, essentially it is a Tomb Raider style of game for Snapdragon Android devices.

In this mini-game you will get a taste of what the full version of Desert Winds will bring with the full version. Consider it more of a demo than anything. Still you will have a lot of the action that will come with the full version. As far as we know, this 'mini-game' should come with at least three levels to play through.

The gameplay style of this is a mix between Tomb Raider, action gaming and Dragon's Lair reaction-based movements. Graphically the game is pretty solid as well and one thing we did get to experience in one of our hands-on demos was having the game HDMI-out onto a 3D HDTV and playing it wearing 3D glasses which was pretty cool. The full version of Desert Winds is slated for release sometime this Summer. You can download this 'mini-game' off the Android Market for free if you have a newer Snapdragon Android device.
