Some time back, we published an editorial entitled “In-App Purchases: The Downfall of Android Gaming?”. In the three months between the article getting published and now, the number of games being released for free, or even paid, that contains IAPs for consumable items have increased exponentially. To be honest, finding a game devoid of some form or another of consumable IAPs these days is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Sega stated that after Sonic 4 Episode II that there would be no more Sonic 4 games heading to Android or iOS.

So what is the new game? Sonic Jump.
Glu Mobile has been releasing a lot of games lately and here is another one on the horizon called Death Dome which they are now starting to promote with the release of a trailer. This game is a hack n’ slash titles sporting some rather nice looking 3D visuals and gameplay similar to that found in Infinity Blade while the overall theme of the game seems like something out of Mad Max.
Over the past couple of months we have reported on Gameloft and their line-up of upcoming games for Android. While we all wait for Wild Blood to actually get released onto Android, we do get to play a few other games in the meantime from Gameloft and it looks like we could possibly end up getting another one before Wild Blood arrives. This time around though it will feature some ridiculously cute ponies in the form of a My Little Pony game.

We posted a short update on our Google+ page and on Twitter at the beginning of last week as to what we would be doing over the course of the past 7 days but for those of you who don’t follow us on either of those social media outlets (shame on you!), you may be wondering what has been up with the site lately with the lack of posting, and when we did post, it was late at night.
For those of you who happen to be arcade bums like myself back in the 1980s and 1990s, where we could have easily paid rent for a permanent residence inside an arcade with the amount of quarters we spent, will be happy to know that the classic Zaxxon arcade game will be time traveling from the past and arriving on our phones and tablets soon as Zaxxon Escape, all thanks to Sega who have decided to resurrect the franchise.
Another Marvel Universe based game is on the horizon and this time it will be coming in the form of a TCG called Marvel: War of Heroes.

Phoenix Wright has been a staple in the attorney gaming genre, considering that they made the genre, for awhile now and a new game inspired by the rather humorous series of games will be making it’s way to Android in the near future called Devil’s Attorney. It doesn’t look like you’ll be shoving your finger in people’s faces screaming OBJECTION in this game though.
