For the third edition of our Game of the Week poll, we are going to combine releases from the past two weeks because developers are taking it easy during this early part of the year and we’ve had a hard time finding games worthy of being in contention for the award. Also, there haven’t really been any big or major releases, so you may be unfamiliar with some of the games below.

While Gamevil has released their idea of a head-to-head fighting game which is similar to titles like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat as of yesterday, WeMade Entertainment has had a little gem of a brawler on Google Play for almost a month which has slipped past us until now. Touch Fighter is a pure head-to-head brawler with a simple three button system that allows you to beat the crap out of your opponents.
Disney officially announces Disney Infinity, a toy-based cross-platform sandbox gaming platform
Disney just finished holding their press event this afternoon where they have officially announced something they have been hinting at for the past few month: Disney Infinity. This is a rather huge project from Disney that is going to be a massive cross-platform sandbox gaming platform that breaks past the barriers of digital platforms and invades toys as well. Think Skylanders but on a much more massive and interactive, ever expanding scale.
More Minecraft: Pocket Edition 0.5.1 update news: Armor probably coming and new blocks for Creative Mode
Every time we near a Minecraft: Pocket Edition update we tend to see more news rolling out via Twitter and the developers on there that happen to be working on the game. Just as we posted yesterday about what we know is confirmed for the next 0.5.1 update, more details came to light right after that. So let’s recap what we now know including new details regarding the next Minecraft: Pocket Edition update.
Sega’s rather popular dungeon combat, city building card-combat game Kingdom Conquest is getting a sequel appropriately named Kingdom Conquest II. Right now the game is actually already available in Japan, Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong for the past couple of weeks to make sure everything is running smoothly and, of course, everything is monetizing nicely.
Minecraft: Pocket Edition 0.5.1 update will come with Signs, Clouds, and gravity affecting certain blocks
Back in December 2012 we posted on news regarding not just the upcoming 0.5.1 update for Minecraft: Pocket Edition but also the future 0.6.0 update and what both of these updates may very well come with. Well we have confirmation that Signs will definitely be arriving in 0.5.1 but also a few other goodies are on the way.
Gamevil has just released a new game onto Google Play called Asura Cross which is their take on the whole Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat genre. The rather interesting thing about this game is that when you are playing in Story Mode, you will be choosing how your character’s story unfolds instead of having a preset storyline to follow like you have in games like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat.
I’m not a huge fan of Anime-inspired games, unless they are of a very particular strain. Basically I’ll know a good Anime when I see one, but I can’t really explain the type I’d like. Zenonia 5 is uber cute, filled with massive explosions and weapons, packed with cute but deadly monsters and pretty much what you might expect from a freemium Anime shoot-em-up for Android. I found it semi-delightful until the game would punish me for seemingly no reason.
2012 saw lots of fantastic games arriving on Android, and as such in terms of gaming Android enjoyed a healthy growth. Some of them were original ones, while others were ports from other platforms or classic hits. Anyway, I’ve decided to compile my five most disappointing games that came out in 2012. Just a slight note – disappointing here doesn’t necessarily mean that the game isn’t good, but merely that it turned out to be something lesser than what I expected.
As if there aren’t already enough zombie games flying around on Google Play, you can now thank former NBA basketball star Shaquille O’Neal for adding one more game to that menacing list with ShaqDown. Developed by Hiptic Games, this is a game with a simple kind of design where you jump between three levels and take on hordes of zombies by throwing a basketball and unleashing a special power.
