Pocket Gems have been developing games for mobile for awhile now strictly for iOS until recently when they finally branched out onto Android as well. Late last week the company announced it was getting into mobile game publishing as well, similar to what other companies like Gamevil are doing, with publishing 3rd party mobile games. Their first partner game has arrived on Google Play called Chasing Yello.
You know, I’m not normally a fan of rehashed clone games. The fact is that any gamer who has spent more than a dozen hours online knows that feeling when he or she sees yet another game that uses mechanics or designs that we’ve all seen a hundred times before. So, when I stumbled across Survivalcraft, an obvious clone of Minecraft: Pocket Edition, I was hesitant. I’ve also learned that a game can look like another yet be its very own creation, so I bought it and started the download. In the notes about the game, the developer literally gives credit to Minecraft and asks players to purchase it, so that gave me more confidence. After all, I’ve read a lot of player-written stories that are based in official lore or viewed wonderful fan art, all of it based on somebody else’s creation.
Nexon has brought another one of their online PC games to mobile, minus the online part that is. Dungeon Fighter Gunner has arrived on the Google Play store and is the first mobile addition to the Dungeon Fighter franchise which even features an online game for PC gamers to play. This particular game though is a completely new story while bringing all of the action from the online game to mobile.
For those of you who thought Angry Birds Rio had finally thrown in the towel after a nice long run, you can reconsider those thoughts as Rovio has released an update for Angry Birds Rio. This new update comes with 24 new Samba-themed levels for you to fling your birds through as well as the new power-ups system.
Usually around this time we’ve already started hearing about the next version of the Tegra series of chipsets slated to arrive from nVidia. While the roadmap was leaked some time ago with Tegra 4, codenamed Wayne, arriving by the end of this year. Considering that there must have been a delay in the plans, we are just now getting information about Tegra 4 which means we could very well likely see it announced at CES 2013.
A few days ago, a new free-to-play first-person shooter by Cmune quietly made its way to Google Play for all the Android FPS lovers out there to enjoy. It is an online multiplayer shooter that claims to have over 8 million players playing worldwide on PC. UberStrike allows for cross-platform play between Android, iOS and PC, and it boasts some good (if somewhat raw at the moment) graphics. On the splash screen, there is the nVidia Tegra logo, but we cannot confirm for now if this is actually an officially sanctioned Tegra game or not.
There have been some tidbits of information about Minecraft: Pocket Edition regarding future features and updates from one the main developers on the project, Johan Bernhardsson. While we have news on the next update that will arrive for Minecraft: Pocket Edition and what it will come with, what we are really excited about is what Johan has been working on aside from the next update.
A new puzzle game has arrived from Ludomo Gamestodio called Quiver which also happens to be the first game published onto Android from this little indie studio. Quiver charges players to use a single arrow, as in a bow and arrow, in order to light all the braziers in each stage. If you don’t light all the braziers in a single shot, you won’t go on to the next level.
Herocraft has turned ten years old and to celebrate this double-digit anniversary they have put all of their games on sale for a limited time. This also happens to be the perfect time for label this as another holiday season sale as well.

The first release from a recently formed indie studio called Greenlit Games has arrived on Google Play called Words’n’Blox. Even though Greenlit Games is a relatively new studio, it is made up of some industry veterans who used to work for EA Playfish so the quality of this game is actually pretty good. So what exactly is Words’n’Blox?
