About two weeks ago we talked about a rather popular Dreamcast game Expendable that is getting revamped and re-imaged before getting released onto Android under the name called Expendable Rearmed. This is being done by the fine folks at Retrobomb and when we originally posted about the game coming to Android, we only had a general ‘coming soon’ release time for it. Well now we have an official release date.
The next version of Minecraft: Pocket Edition is heading our way and amazingly enough it seems as though this update came a lot faster than the other ones did. This is probably due to the fact that a lot of features are now in place so the devs working on Minecraft: Pocket Edition don’t have to worry about them and can concentrate on more content. So what is coming in the 0.5.0 update? The Nether Reactor.
Zombie games of all shapes and sizes are a dime a dozen these days on the mobile gaming scene. One such new game vying for attention is Zombie Driver THD, which is actually a full-on console and PC port in terms of content. It is one thing to boast console quality content, and another to see if all this is wrapped in a mobile-friendly package. Does Zombie Driver THD make the cut in that respect?
The remake of the classic RPG Baldur’s Gate, which we’ve reported on since it hit up Kickstarter for funding, will be arriving a little sooner than expected, although it is still arriving later than the initial release date. Originally slated for a September 18th, 2012 release date, the developers eventually had to delay the game’s launch until November 30th, 2012. Now, Beamdog’s head man Trent Oster has confirmed that the game will actually be arriving on November 28th, 2012, two days early.
A new emulator is currently being developed by the fine folk who brought the world the fully working Wii emulator called Dolphin for PCs. Apparently the developers got a hold of an Android device finally and decided to do what they do best, build an emulator. However, this particular emulator isn’t another GameBoy or console emulator, which we have plenty of. Instead, this emulator, called PPSSPP, is a Playstation Portable emulator for Android.
Amazon Games Studio has announced the launch of their ‘first’ game onto Android today called Air Patriots. While this is being called their first game release made in-house, this is technically not their first game released as Airport Mania happens to be their first published title. If you dive into it further, it can get a bit confusing as to who is making what since if you look at the Google Play link, it shows Southwinds Games in the URL while the account is actually under Lemon Team.
Electronic Arts has been showing off over the past month or so the next installment into the SimCity series of games for PC which, if I may say, looks pretty damn impressive. As a SimCity fan, next year’s game looks to be the best one yet. It’s also no secret that Electronic Arts, along with other developers, have made it rather a well known fact that most upcoming games will feature some sort of mobile tie-in, whether it be just social aspects of the game, companion apps that also affect their PC/Console counter-parts, or complete mobile versions of their games.
Gamevil will be attending G-Star 2012 in Korea which is a gaming related conference that has a heavy focus on mobile gaming specifically. Today the company has revealed a list of their next 30 games which will be heading to mobile over the next little while and you may be shocked to know that Zenonia 5, although a major franchise already, isn’t the biggest one they will be bringing to mobile devices. Other names include online multiplayer titles Legend of Master Online and Legends of Gaia. Also current web strategy games Eternal Kingdom, Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Bloodlust will be arriving on mobile devices through Gamevil as well.
More pinball news coming your way today but this time regarding Pinball Arcade by FarSight Studios. Pinball Arcade is almost the exact opposite of Zen Pinball in terms of the tables it comes with. Both are pinball platforms where you can purchase and play a variety of beautifully rendered pinball tables on your Android device. However, Zen Pinball features completely custom made tables, usually with Marvel themes to them, while Pinball Arcade takes actual pinball tables that existed and makes digital replicas of them for everyone to play.
Zen Studios has gotten really into the Halloween spirit this year by releasing a trio of new tables for Zen Pinball THD, with all three tables themed after something rather suitable for tonight’s upcoming shenanigans. Available for purchase and download through Zen Pinball THD are tables themed after Blade, Ghost Rider and a more generic but equally spooky table called Paranormal.
