So Google has made a list of the top 12 games that were released onto Google Play over the past year and there are some interesting titles they have picked. The games selected stretch across most genres and while some of their picks seem spot on, others are a bit of a surprised which leads us to ask the question as to whether or not you agree with their picks or if not then what ones would you switch out and with what game.

Most people have played Halfbrick’s rather enjoyable arcade game called Fruit Ninja at one point or another in their mobile gaming lives. However, the threat of real fruit attacking you in real life is slim to none but if it did happen, there is at least one person out there in the world who seems to be ready to handle the task of taking on fresh fruit.
Usually there is only one free app or game of the day over at the Amazon AppStore but today we are treated to a ‘Greatest Hits’ promotion where Amazon has put up some of their best free apps and games from the past year back up for free once again. The selection has some impressive titles available for free right now that you may have missed when they originally were offered up for free.
LEGO Hero Factory Brain Attack was actually supposed to see a release in January next year as a result of a partnership between LEGO and Amuzo Games, but it has made its way a few days early (not that we’d be complaining anyway) onto Google Play for free for everyone to enjoy.
If you happen to be old enough to remember the hay days of the arcade generation, most people from that generation will remember Dragon’s Lair which happens to be available for Android for awhile now. Well Dragon’s Lair has a futuristic cousin called Space Ace and he’s also now available on Google Play.
A new retro-style arcade shooter has landed on Google Play called Vritra. Developed by Salvo Inc., this particular arcade shooter is almost a bullet hell type of shooter. We say almost because while there is a lot of bullets to dodge and shoot, there isn’t the amount you would find in a true bullet hell game but there is more than what you find in your average arcade shooter.
SNK Playmore already released Metal Slug 3 onto Android not too long ago and now they have decided to release the first game in the series as well. Metal Slug is now available on Google Play and even though it is a port, the controls have been designed for mobile gaming and can have their location customized to suit your needs.
Last week the developers behind the MOGA mobile gaming system, PowerA, happen to be basically giving away MOGA units for one day where all buyers had to pay was the shipping. Those units should hopefully be already arriving to people who managed to et in on the deal and now PowerA has released a list of some of the newly released games that happen to support the MOGA controller.
Another game we mentioned previously that Sega would be releasing on Android at some point has now finally arrive. Sonic Jump is a jumping platformer where you control Sonic who needs to get through a bunch of stages in order to complete his quest to defeat Dr. Eggman. Instead of the levels being side-scroll like normal Sonic the Hedgehog games are, this one is a vertical platformer instead.
Activision has brought back a game that many people loved to play back in the day on their Atari 2600 console systems and that game is Pitfall!. However, this new release of Pitfall! is actually a re-imagined version and instead of swinging over gaps in the ground, finding treasure and inevitably dieing a lot, this version is a 3D endless runner.
