Anytime I hear the name Ubisoft mentioned, I always focus my attention on the story. The game developer has a long successful history in creating dynamic console games, as well as mobile games. A few weeks ago, word of a new Assassin’s Creed game (Assassin’s Creed: Identity) in development for Android/iOS, seemingly appeared out of nowhere. This week, it has been announced, that a new game from the Ubisoft Shanghai Studio will arrive next week. The game is called The Bot Squad: Puzzle Battles. It will arrive in the Play Store October 16th.

PocketMine-MP is pretty much the go to software if you want to run your own Minecraft: Pocket Edition server but don’t want the limited population that the Mojang official servers offer for a fee. With this software, you are technically only limited to the hardware your server is running.
Halfbrick’s first big hit, Fruit Ninja, has been out for quite a long time now. Even to this day it is still a pretty fun game but that doesn’t mean Halfbrick hasn’t been working on improving it. In fact the company has pushed out a pretty massive update that not only adds a lot of new content, but also adds plenty of new optimizations.
Gameloft’s latest installment into their Modern Combat franchise is finally on sale which means those of you who have been waiting for a price drop to happen before picking this game up can now head over to Google Play and snag a copy for cheap.

It is visually mesmerizing, aurally pleasing, and has controls that are easy to operate.
EP0CH is a rail shooter released by Uppercut Games. For the uninitiated, rail shooters are where the player’s path through a game is strictly defined and players have no control over the forward progression, but instead focus exclusively on shooting and dodging with the progression the level/game occurring once the screen has been cleared of enemies, lasts only until more enemies arrive (at which point it stops to let combat commence), and functions more like a cut scene when it does occur.
Ubisoft has already released a companion app for the Assassin’s Creed IV game as well as Assassin’s Creed Pirates onto Android. But as for an actual Assassin’s Creed game, there isn’t one yet. That was at least true until today as Ubisoft has quietly released Assassin’s Creed Identity onto iOS (currently in New Zealand and Australia right now) and has the game slated for release onto Android in the near future.
I’m a massive classic gaming fan and nerd, and my love of all things video games goes back to the very beginning. My connection to the arcade is so deep I actually worked with my father-in-law for 6 consecutive weekends to construct an arcade cabinet from plans that I then set up with multiple emulators, but the most important of them is absolutely MAME: the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. To give you an idea of the extent of my love, my gaming handle going back almost a decade is MAMEiac. It’s in my blood. I love that classic arcade feel, and I understand the notion of playing a game for its own sake, or getting a high score; I don’t need a compelling story or modern trappings to find joy.
Gamevil has begun teasing their next RPG release for Android called Darkness Reborn with its first teaser trailer.
