So during the GameStop Expo we just left the other day we had a chance to do our interview with Mad Catz in person instead of doing it through Skype or email, hence the delay in the interview getting done in the first place. We sat down with Alex Verrey, the Global PR Director for Mad Catz and Nathan Aguilera, Associate Product Manager for Mad Catz to talk about their upcoming Android-based gaming console called Mojo.
This upcoming Thursday is starting to look real good in terms of game releases on Android. The newest one to make the list is the tactical squad-based strategy game Breach & Clear which we ave been following since we found out about it. Originally this game was going to be free-to-play but the developers did not want the game mechanics and fun to be ruin so they switched to making the game a full paid title instead.
We’ve already talked about one Skylanders game that was supposed to come to Android back during E3 2012 but for whatever reason never actually made it to mobile. However Activision has rectified this problem by releasing another Skylanders game instead called Skylanders: Cloud Patrol.
Project Phoenix is an interesting mix of genres, sporting squad-based RTS gameplay meshed with RPG elements and storylines heavily influenced by the entire JRPG genre. To accomplish this feat, almost everyone on the entire development team from both the East and the West have worked on major Triple-A titles ranging from Diablo 3 to various Final Fantasy games, Halo to L.A. Noire and everything in between.
So Google has decided to host an indie game mega sale featuring eight indie games marked down by 50% or more off their normal prices. Pretty much every one of these games on sale are worth picking up so for those of you looking to score a couple of good games, now is a very good time to do so.
Witching Hour Studios has officially announced that Ravenmark: Mercenaries is coming to Android. Actually we had confirmation about both their Ravenmark games coming to Android awhile back when we first reported on both games. However now we get the pleasure to announce that the company has opened up slots for closed beta testing for Ravenmark: Mercenaries.
During the GameStop Expo, pretty much every Android console maker was there. Ouya, of course, would be one of those companies and the biggest thing they were promoting was the upcoming The Walking Dead game which TellTale Games will be bringing to Ouya later this year.
Crescent Moon Games has unleashed their newest title onto Google Play called Siegecraft Defender. While this may look like a standard tower defense game at first glance, Siegecraft Defender is definitely a lot more than that, almost taking the form of a MOBA in certain way with some of the game’s mechanics.
Created by the maker of Prince of Persia, Jordan Mechner, The Last Express (originally released onto PC in 1997) is another one of this game developer’s premier titles which is now available on Google Play thanks to DotEmu. The Last Express takes place in 1914 on the Orient Express train where players will be interacting with 30+ characters on-board the train itself.
Frogmind Games has announced that they will be bringing their multi-award winning atmospheric action platformer Badland to Android in the near future. For those of you not familiar with this game, Badland has been available on iOS for a bit now, netting over 7 million downloads in the process. Now Android games will soon be able to get their hands on it.
