We aren’t even 24 hours past the media event that Amazon held where they announced a range of devices from a new eReader to a line of Kindle Fire HD tablets. Now we have two more companies adding support for the new Kindle Fire tablets. Both Activision and Crytek have announced games for all of the new Kindle Fire devices, Skylander Cloud Patrol and Fibble Flick n’ Roll.
Today Amazon held their press event in which they announced a new eReader along with a whole new line of Android Kindle Fire tablets. The new line of tablets, dubbed the Kindle Fire HD, comes in four different flavors depending on what your needs/desires are. There is the 7″ Kindle Fire HD WiFi, 8.9″ Kindle Fire HD WiFi, 8.9″ Kindle Fire HD 4G/LTE. Along with those three tablets, the Kindle Fire 2 tablet was also announced.
Good news for all our European readers out there today who, until now, have not had access to the Amazon AppStore. This means you’ve been missing out on the free games/apps of the day, the promotional deals and so on. However, that changes beginning today as the Amazon AppStore rolls out access to Europe.
Since Halfbrick Studios mentioned they were making a game called Machine Gun Jetpack, which later was changed to Jetpack Joyride, we have been telling our readers that it would be coming to Android at some point. We knew it would be arriving, we just didn’t know exactly when. Well after a rather long wait, Jetpack Joyride is finally here.
Two classic games that have been brought over to Android thanks to DotEmu have gone on sale for a pretty hefty discount over on Amazon’s AppStore. Both Another World and R-Type have had their prices dropped by up to 82% off, making picking up a copy of either game pretty damn cheap.
A couple of weeks ago we talked about Amazon who not only apparently has an Android phone in the works but a few new tablets as well. As it turns out, Amazon is rumored to have up to six new models of Android tablets gearing up for release including a 10″ model.
One of the first game controllers geared towards mobile gaming is the Zeemote JS1 game controller, a compact little controller you can use with one hand. Since it has been around for so long, a lot of games support the Zeemote across pretty much every genre of games. UK Residents can now purchase the Zeemote through Amazon UK and if you use our exclusive promo code, you’ll get it for 50% off.
Not too long ago Crescent Moon Games announced that they would finally be bringing their games over to Android and started it all off with their release of Aralon: Sword and Shadow earlier this month. Their second title, Paper Monsters, is also now available on the Amazon AppStore.
Amazon looks to be gearing up to jump back into the Android hardware battle but this time offering up a few different Kindle Fire 2 models as well as apparently working on an Android phone as well. While the Kindle Fire 2 release is fairly close according to reports, their apparent Android phone might be awhile.
We haven’t reported on the Amazon free game/app of the day in awhile which is due to the fact most of them recently, aside from a few notable exceptions, haven’t really been that amazing for one reason or another. However today’s free game is actually pretty entertaining and come to us courtesy of Untamed Games.
