A new RPG game landed on the Android market called Caligo Chaser, developed by Com2US, which features a more hack n’ slash style of game play and some really good graphics.

Just like it’s predecessor, Sky Force Reloaded offers up a whole lot of arcade action with great graphics in the same 3D-ish style which includes environment interaction and weather.

We pretty much have a sports game for Android for each type of sport right now from basketball to soccer, pool to football but no hockey. Well that just changed as Hockey Nations 2010, by Distinctive Wireless Inc, just landed on the Android market. This is a 3D hockey game with stellar graphics and game play which they ported over to Android from the iPhone.
While on the topic of shooter style games, another one landed on the market today called Gravity Fights, developed by Fadosoft. While not the usual scrolling shooter type game, you move through tunnels shooting enemies and flicking power switches which eventually opens a door for your to pass through. The graphics are pretty good in this title as well.
I’ve been meaning to write about this game for about a week now and just with all the recent news it’s slipped into the cracks. However admits the massive amount of game icons on my nexus one, it’s stood by waiting patiently. Sky Force, developed by Infinite Dreams, is a 3D-ish arcade style scrolling shooter with lots to offer.
When it comes to Android and platform games there isn’t a lot to choose from that are good. In fact there isn’t a lot to choose from at all. Some notable ones include Grave Digger and the ever popular Replica Island. NTT Studios LTD who developed the game Up In The Arrr! just released AndroBoy 3000, a 3D-ish isometric platform game.
With the recent news surfacing about Android 2.2 (Froyo) already being tested live, thanks to some statistics posted by Taylor over at Android and Me, the question for all us game fans that arises is pretty obvious: What does this mean for gaming with Android devices? This is a good question especially since the recent update to the Android NDK.
