Ikaruga is widely recognized to be one of the best shoot ‘em ups ever, and has garnered high praise from both reviewers and hardcore gamers in the past.

For those of you who enjoy the endless running genre of games, there happens to be a new endless platformer now up on Google Play called Monster Crew from BonusXP.

A new rhythm-style of game has arrived on Android with a rather nice retro flare to it in the graphics department. Developed by Fantom Digital, Dream Beat is a easy to learn but difficult to master type of game where you control a paddle and hit the notes as the come at you.

Another space-themed shooter has arrived but instead of being the somewhat open world style of game that Alpha Squadron is, Star Defender 4 is a straight up arcade game similar in style to Galaga but much more challenging. Developed by Awem Studio, Star Defender 4 really doesn’t have a set format of enemies you will be killing like Galaga, instead you’ll have them flying all over the screen all the time.
While we are not 100% sure if this is a revamped version of the classic 1984 Alpha Squadron game or not but Martian Monkey has done an excellent job either way with their release of Alpha Squadron onto Google Play today. This game has you strapping into your own ship and taking part of aerial dogfights out in space.
Sega has quietly released a new game onto Android called Spellwood which brings a bit of a different spin to the multiplayer word game genre.

A Guitar Hero style game from Yuisy is set to land on Android on December 12th, 2012 which will have Santa getting a little hardcore, dropping some skills on the guitar while playing Jingle Bells Rock.

Ubisoft’s rather enjoyable running and jumping game based on the Rayman series, called Rayman Jungle Run, will be getting an update that will bring with it ten new levels to run your little Rayman character through. For those of you unfamiliar with the game, it is based off of those rather fun bonus levels found in Rayman Origins and is built using the same engine, UbiArt Framework Engine, that Rayman Origins was made from.
