Subway Surfers Review: Living the life of a graffiti-spraying, boombox-toting, hoverboard riding kid
At some point, you’ve probably dreamed of living the life of a subway-surfing, graffiti-spraying, boombox-toting, hoverboard riding kid. Living life on the edge and running from the law. Jumping over trains is your 9-to-5. Every day, 24/7, making your living off of coins you find laying all over the railways. It’s a pretty humble lifestyle, but because because you’re the definition of “Cool”, you can handle it, right? Who are you kidding, of course you can. You’re no match for that cop and his dog. Why? Because you’re a Subway Surfer. Okay, that’s kind of a grittier take on the super-colorful, hyper-stylized world of Subway Surfers, but if you’ve ever fantasized about subway-surfing, this game is for you. And if you haven’t guessed the title by now, the game I’m talking about is Subway Surfers.
Kemco for the majority of the time releases JRPG titles onto Google Play and their next upcoming game will yet another one that falls into that genre called Knight of the Earthends.

Some time back, we published an editorial entitled “In-App Purchases: The Downfall of Android Gaming?”. In the three months between the article getting published and now, the number of games being released for free, or even paid, that contains IAPs for consumable items have increased exponentially.

Sega stated that after Sonic 4 Episode II that there would be no more Sonic 4 games heading to Android or iOS.

So what is the new game? Sonic Jump.
We were already starting to miss Kairosoft since their last release, the rather cool city building sim called Venture Towns, sporting their famous 8-bits graphics and sounds.

Here’s a new arcade side-scrolling shooter developed by Dancing Cat studios (who are known for their previous games Star Armada and Crusaders) located in a futuristic world and full of fantastical places to visit and lots of enemies to shoot in the face.

Sega’s latest game to hit Android, Zaxxon Escape, is a remake of the classic arcade game from the 80’s, Zaxxon. However, due to me having never played the original Zaxxon arcade game because I wasn’t born yet then, I’ll just review this modern remake based on its own merits.
Speaking of the devil, we had mentioned in our previous post today regarding Gameloft who were teasing their My Little Pony game that is heading our way soon and that we are still waiting on Wild Blood to arrive and now it has magically appeared on the Google Play store finally. This is Gameloft’s first official Unreal Engine made game and you’ll be playing as Sir Lancelot who has a world of problems to deal with in this game.
Glu Mobile has been releasing a lot of games lately and here is another one on the horizon called Death Dome which they are now starting to promote with the release of a trailer. This game is a hack n’ slash titles sporting some rather nice looking 3D visuals and gameplay similar to that found in Infinity Blade while the overall theme of the game seems like something out of Mad Max.
