Imagine this: Gameloft releases a brand new trailer for Modern Combat, Modern Combat 6: World War Space, and suddenly you find yourself brimming with sweat and your mouth strangely dry.The graphics induce uncontrollable eye twitching and that new gameplay mode renders your jaws grounded and mopping the floor (while knowing touchscreen control is terrible, but you’ll play it anyway).
Zen Studios, developers of the rather awesome Pinball platform for Android called Zen Pinball THD, have released a new table for purchase called Epic Quest. This new table actually brings some RPG mechanics into the mix instead of your standard pinball table format.
EA appears to be gearing up for another game release which will be coming to us sometime this month. The Sims Freeplay will be making its way to Android and it will be, as the name implies, a free game that will be support through in-game purchases.
We knew Crytek had their eyes on the mobile gaming arena for some time now thanks to previous job postings for Android and mobile developers as well as some leaks. Now we have a much better idea of at least one thing they are working on and it is called GFACE.
Polarbit’s sequel to their hit racing game called Reckless Racing has just landed on the Android Market. Reckless Racing 2 features the same great top-down racing action found in the first title but with improvements all around along with new tracks to race on.
