The new cross-platform 3D MMORPG called Knighty Adventures will be arrving this week

A new cross-platform 3D MMORPG will be heading our way real soon called Knightly Adventures. This new game features some pretty nice 3D visuals wrapped up in an MMORPG that combines RPG gameplay with the building mechanics of a city building game. This will be a true cross-platform title meaning you’ll be able to save your progress and pick it back up where you left off regardless of what device or platform your log back into to continue playing. If the name of this game sounds familiar, it should, since we talked about it coming to Android back in July of this year.

This video shows all of it in once sitting, from the red bird’s light saber which can reflect lasers to the yellow bird who can shoot lasers.

Minecraft: Pocket Edition 0.5.0 update on the way: Ready for the Nether Reactor?

The next version of Minecraft: Pocket Edition is heading our way and amazingly enough it seems as though this update came a lot faster than the other ones did. This is probably due to the fact that a lot of features are now in place so the devs working on Minecraft: Pocket Edition don’t have to worry about them and can concentrate on more content. So what is coming in the 0.5.0 update? The Nether Reactor.
