Yesterday Nvidia announced that their Android-powered handheld gaming system, now official called just ‘Shield’, has gone live for pre-orders to those people who have subscribed to the Shield’s newsletter. Everyone else has to wait until May 20th, 2013 to pre-order a unit. Double Fine has come out today to announce that their Costume Quest game will also be heading to Nvidia’s Shield system as well.
Gameloft has also come out to announce that three of their games will be updated with Google Play Games features. One game we already mentioned today is Modern Combat 4 but the company will also be updating two other games as well with Google Play Games integration.
While we won’t report on every single game that gets updated with the new Google Play Games service, we will try to keep everyone up to speed on which of their games will now have this service integrated. Glu has already begun adding Google Play Games to their titles and the first one to get these new features is Eternity Warriors 2.
Another big announcement at Google I/O 2013 this morning during the opening keynote was that the developer console now has a slew of new features for developers to take advantage of. While all of the new features are great, the biggest one has to be the ability to roll out beta versions of your game or application.
Google I/O 2013 is about to begin and Google is planning to stream a fair amount of this conference live on the internet. Well for everyone who didn’t get to go to this year’s conference, you can at least watch a good amount of it live. So we’ve decided to embed Google’s new live streaming widget right here so you can watch the live streams from Google I/O 2013 while also following all the Android gaming news you usually read right here.
Interesting news today regarding EA’s Frostbite game engine and the fact that a mobile centric version of the engine will be available soon going by the name of Frostbite Go. This is something everyone should be excited about, almost as excited as when we first heard about developers using Unreal Engine for mobile games.
One game we have been waiting for since almost a year ago is an action platformer called Bounty Arms THD. This particular game is one we’ve had some hands-on time with already with an early build and it was pretty fun to play back then. Bounty Arms THD has a unique cast of creatures that you end up killing in some rather unique ways.
One of the games that has been teased on both Nvidia’s Shield gaming device and just in general during Tegra-based announcements is Tick Tock Games’ Burn Zombie Burn title. Well this game has now been quietly released onto both Google Play and Nvidia’s Tegra Zone.
For those of you out there in Android gaming land who play Pixowl’s The Sandbox game, you’ll be happy to know that Pixowl has begun hosting a sale to celebrate their game turning one year old. The sale has begun today and a lot of the IAPs in-game have been discounted.
Spry Fox, the developers of the widely popular puzzle game Triple Town, have announced what their new game will be and it is another puzzle game called Road Not Taken. This particular game has a rather deep theme to it regarding life and loss but does not do away with the cuteness found in Triple Town.
