A couple of bigger names in the gaming scene, mostly on the mobile side of things, are teaming up to bring iOS and Android gamers a new series of games based off of Robert Jordan’s best-selling fantasy series, The Wheel of Time. Jet Set Games and Red Eagle Games have teamed up and are already announcing the first title in the Wheel of Time series of games called First Banner of the Rising Sun.
Along with the announcement of Asus and Wikipad partnering with Sony to bring Playstation Certification to their devices at Sony’s GamesCom 2012 press conference, Sony also announced Playstation Mobile, the official re-branding of the Playstation Suite and along with that, some details on how it will work.
Two of the more popular alien movie franchise came together in a movie as well as a video game based off of that movie. Alien vs Predator was supposed to be the epic meeting between the two, more bad ass, alien species out there in Sci-Fi land which ended up being a decent movie. Well it looks like Android will be getting a taste of the action now thanks to Angry Mob Games.
Gamescom is underway and today during Electronic Arts’ press conference, they announced that their Origin game store would be arriving on Android at some point. Interesting news considering yesterday’s story about EA looking to Windows 8 mobile as their possible central platform focus for mobile gaming.
Another day and another Kickstarter campaign to talk about. This particular one actually started last week but still has 22 days to go. So what is this one about? It is to bring another skateboarding themed game to Android but this time it will be developed by UpUpStart, a team consisting of former Neversoft and Tony Hawk developers.
One of the all time highest rated iOS strategy games, according to Metacritic, will be making the jump onto Android soon thanks to Herocraft. Currently sitting in the number two spot for iOS strategy games on Metacritic, Ant Raid will have you playing as ants in a real-time strategy game.
One of the games we have mentioned in the recent past coming from Gameloft now has a new trailer and an official ‘coming soon to Android’ label which means it shouldn’t be too long of a wait. Kingdoms & Lords was released onto iOS a few days ago and should be coming to Android pretty quickly.
Binary Helix are the developers behind a game we have talked about in the past called Dangerous and the newest graphically enhanced version of the game called Dangerous HD.

Another week has begun and with it comes some more OUYA news to roll around in and enjoy. First off pre-orders for OUYA units are now available outside of Kickstarter for those of you who didn’t drop some money on their campaign in order to get one early. Instead of the $99 price tag OUYA donators got their units for, pre-ordering now will set you back $109 instead ($119 for outside the US).
There is definitely a trend going on right now with resurrecting the classics from back in the day that a lot of us used to play. This trend doesn’t really seem to be slowing down, keeping a consistent pace with new titles being brought to modern times. The latest title looking to make a comeback is Wings, a classic game for the Amiga and yes, there is a Kickstarter for it.
