EA’s CEO Andrew Wilson has decided to come out and state what pretty much the entire mobile gaming world already knows, and we even stated it back when the game first came out, that the company’s Dungeon Keeper game’s microtransactions were ‘a shame’. He further went on to say that the company ‘misjudged the economy’ and while that may sound like an odd statement, it sounds like it was more in reference to how the game was priced rather than no one could afford it and the game sucked.

If you are the type of person that throws your game controller down when you are met with one gaming challenge after another… this is not the game for you. Well, it probably is the game for you, but you just have to convince yourself that you are hardcore enough to play it.
Do you enjoy groovy music? Yes! Do you like auto runners? Yes! Do platforms to jump on make you smile? Yes! Do you crave eye-popping colors while you play your games on your snazzy Android device? Certainly! Well, wait no longer.
Gameloft is optimizing nine of their games for Android TV. This should come as no surprise really as Gameloft tries to usually be one of the first game development companies to announce support for new Android platforms, regardless of what those platforms actually are.
NothingElse is a very dark game, a very short game, a game that doesn’t allow you to save your progress, yet great nonetheless. I’ll do the best I can to review this without of spoiling the ending, which was incredibly dark, but I definitely didn’t see it coming. For that reason, the game won me over.
Disney Interactive’s official Tumblr page revealed the logo for an upcoming Star Wars mobile game, includes Android, called Star Wars Commander.

The game is being released in limited early access on Android along with iOS in “select international markets” but will release worldwide sometime this summer.
Transformers Age of Extinction (the movie) hits theaters this Friday. So of course any big-budget movie based off of a toy is going to have a mobile game to go along with it. Sharing the same name, the game is actually a 3D runner. However to split itself a part from those usual games, and to capture the Transformers feel, there is combat. Fighting is done as one of the two Transformer forms, vehicle or robot. You can upgrade your Transformers to make your team even more powerful.
Sc0tt Games, who created The Ingenious Machine, Rocket Drop, and Tri-Strip, is about to release a brand new game called Chaos Ride. Set in the future, this racing game isn’t like most others as “[b]raking, drifting, and cornering are all irrelevant”. So in lieu of those things, racers will shift their weight (via careful positioning) and attempt to maximize the track to their advantage through things like the downhill gradients of the tubular track accelerating the speed of their hover bikes.
During yesterday’s beginning of Google I/O 2014, Google decided to show off a demo video which displays the Unreal Engine 4 built game Rivalry running on Android. This is to show PC-class gaming on Android and, of course, in conjunction with Nvidia’s upcoming Tegra K1 chipset.
Yesterday Google announced and previewed a new product called Android TV. Android TV is coming soon, both in set top box form, as well natively integrated in television sets. Among its other features like search and voice input, it is also capable of playing games. Google mentioned that this isn’t a new platform, so much as they’re now going to give televisions the same level of attention as phones and tablets, and there should now be a single SDK for all form factors, including TVs. This should allow developers to create games that play on Android TV with relative ease.
