Welcome to another end-of-the-week round-up of Android games that are on sale right now. This week’s list is made up of a lot of leftovers from last week, all of which are good games, as well as some new additions of some pretty solid titles you’ll want to check out and possibly snag a copy of while they are on sale.
The official Playstation 4 companion app launching November 13th for North America, Nov. 22nd for Europe
When the Xbox One and the Playstation 4 were announced this year there was a heavy focus on second-screen experiences as well as social features that both consoles would be coming having integrated into them. The Playstation 4 seemed to have more of a foothold on the whole thing, pushing the second-screen experiences and social features a lot more during their presentation and upcoming games.
Ouya said, back before the console launched, that their Android-powered console would see new versions of it being released with updated hardware on a regular basis. The company did warn everyone that this would basically mean that a new console would be released every year or pretty much every year as long as their is a substantial upgrade in hardware to do.
MOGA has been working on a new controller that is vastly different from their current offerings. While the company’s previous controllers look and act more like console controllers, the new MOGA Ace Power is a lot different and looks similar to that of Phonejoy’s controller that is just hitting the market.
Activision has decided to come out of left field and release a Call of Duty game onto Android called Call of Duty: Strike Team. This particular game is a blend of first-person and third-person squad-based tactical gameplay where you’ll be controlling your squad of soldiers, positioning them in strategic places before switching to a first-person perspective and laying out a few clips of ammo onto your enemies.
Sad Blizzard’s Hearthstone was announced for just iOS? Don’t be, there’s hope for Android devices.
When Blizzard announced their new game, which ended up being a TCG called Hearthstone, it was also announced for iOS gamers to play on the iPad. However other mobile platforms were left behind like our beloved Android platform. New evidence is pointing towards the possibility that an Android and Windows Phone version of Hearthstone could be arriving soon.
Last week we talked about a rather cool looking turn-based combat game called Aerena – Clash of Champions by Cliffhanger Productions. This is one of those games we’ve been talking about lately that will be arriving with cross-platform support between mobile and PC gamers, being available through Steam for PC, Mac and Linux users while also being launched on iOS and Android for the mobile gamer to enjoy.
We’ve talked about Dungeons & Dragons: Arena of War a few times in the past and how it would be arriving onto Android in the near future. Well that near future has turned into now as the game is now available for download off of Google Play. Based on the Forgotten Realms world, this is a full 3D RPG title which is actually part of a large event to reshape the Forgotten Realms world.
Developed by Alpha Dog Games and made using the Unreal Engine, Wraithborne originally was released onto Ouya but has now made the jump from the Android-powered game console to Google Play for all Android gamers to download and play.
Back near the beginning of September of this year we talked about Ubisoft who announced that they will be releasing three new games in the near future. The first game based off of the Rabbids franchise was released last week and now we know when the next Rayman themed game will be arriving along with how much it will cost you to buy it.
