Shogun Arts has released their second title onto Google Play, this time featuring an Origami theme to it as you play as a paper crane and other creatures.

Sega just released a post on their official blog reminding everyone that their hit Dreamcast game, Jet Set Radio, is still heading to iOS and Android this Summer.

One of the two Shadowrun games that are coming our way soon, both having had successful Kickstarter campaigns, is Shadowrun Returns.
