OUYA just made a Facebook post updating everyone on the status of the pre-orders for their upcoming Android-based game console. For those of you who have been on the fence about pre-ordering one, which would have you receiving one by April 2013, time is running out if you want to get in on the pre-order action.
A couple of weeks ago Namco once again got all nostalgic on us with the release of a new game that many of us are familiar with… Galaga. As one of the earliest space-themed arcade shooters, many of us drop plenty of quarters into them in the hope of getting the high score on that particular machine. One of the best features was when you were able to use two ships at once. Ahhh the memories…
A couple of days ago we posted about Rovio teasing a new update for Angry Birds Star Wars which would be heading our way soon. Well ‘soon’ came rather quickly as this new update is now live on Google Play and available for download. Interestingly enough we didn’t think it would be named Escape from Hoth but it ended up being the official name for this update.
Fan of the comic strip series by Penny Arcade and subsequently their retro-style RPGs have a little bit of bad news today. It seemed like a lot of people had been waiting for Penny Arcade to release their games onto Android and when On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3 finally arrived on Google Play, a lot of people seemed happy about it.
While this shouldn’t be too much of a surprise for anyone really, it is still interesting to check out the numbers involved with something like this. Apparently Imangi Studios’ Temple Run 2 which just recently came out on Android has broken the record for the fastest growing mobile game ever with over 50 million downloads across iOS, Android and Kindle Devices in 13 days.
During CES 2013 and nVidia’s press conference, one of the games demoed on their upcoming Project Shield Android handheld gaming system was the Mech themed MMOFPS game Hawken by Adhesive Games. Well the two companies have teamed up once again only this time it isn’t to demo Hawken playing on Project Shield like before but instead to tease us a little more by releasing a Hawken Live Wallpaper.
Zenonia 5 got an update the other day that finally added raid mode. You know… that button on the status screen that said COMING SOON! when you press it? Well, its here now. Unfortunately, it’s also expensive. Each and every run through raid mode is going to cost you some Zen. Not a whole lot, but if you plan on doing raids often its going to stack up.
It’s time to change things up a bit with this week long series of giveaways and instead of doing Google Play Gift Cards or some DroidGamers T-Shirts, this time we are giving away five MOGA game controllers to five of our lucky readers. As these prizes keep getting better there will be more ways to enter.
About a week ago we talked about a Tekken game that would be heading our way soon from Namco Bandai. While it is unfortunately not a head-to-head combat game in the series’ traditional sense, it is still a combat game nonetheless. For those of you who are waiting for the game to arrive, Tekken Card Tournament is now available in open beta.
So it is time to pick our winners for yesterday’s giveaway of five $10 Google Play Gift Cards with a couple of winners being extra lucky and getting hooked up with a new black DroidGamers T-shirt as well as the gift card. So who are the lucky winners for our Day 2 of our week of giveaways?
