Interesting news today that we don’t hear about often when it comes to some of the ‘old school’ Android games that are still floating around the Google Play store. Doodle Jump, which was released three years ago, has been completely reworked, code-wise that is, and is now properly optimized for all the new hardware that exists in this current age of Android.
Every so often we have to issue one of these PSA (public service announcement) notices about either a developer offering up a ridiculous amount of fake apps and games or about the fake apps and games themselves. Usually these fake apps and games are either laced with malware or try to get unfortunately people who think they have the correct game or app installed to dish out money for it.
While there are plenty of continuous running style games out there, a lot of which take on a different form to make it feel like a completely different game when it isn’t at all, The Jump: Escape The City is actually a different style of continuous running game for a change.

It looks like Electronic Arts isn’t wasting any time supporting Samsung’s newly announced addition to the Samsung Galaxy line of phones.

Disney has announced that they will be delaying the launch of their big cross-platform toy and video game project called Disney Infinity. Back in January Disney announced a rather huge project that they had been working on where it blended physical toys with actual video gaming. The gaming portion of the project is cross-platform including mobile and features a sandbox style of gameplay but it is much more than that. Think Skylanders but on a much more massive and interactive, ever expanding scale.
At the beginning of March we mentioned that Rovio has teamed up with DreamWorks and the two companies were going to be bringing a spin-off game for the movie The Croods to Android and iOS. Well The Croods have come themselves out of their caves and are now available on Google Play to download. As you can tell, The Croods is based off of the upcoming movie of the same name slated for release in theaters on March 22nd, 2013.
As most Minecraft: Pocket Edition fans know, the 0.7.0 update that is on its way this April (if all goes well) will bring true multiplayer to the game. As we suspected in our previous coverage of the multiplayer functionality, it will be called Minecraft Realms.
Square Enix has come out to release a new as of yesterday but it isn’t the typical type of game you are probably thinking it is. No it’s not Final Fantasy IV or some of RPG port but instead it is a game called Mini Ninja.
