As you may have read my overview then you will know that the over all impression of the Galaxy S series as a gaming platform is pretty high. Right now I am looking at the T-mobile Vibrant version and everything wrote here is based on that unit only. The Galaxy S series is broken into 4 different phones, 1 for every major carrier.
We received a tip from one of our followers about a game that just got released onto the Android market called Battle Bears Free developed by SkyVu Pictures. This is a 3D OTS (Over the Shoulder) Shooter game where you are a bear armed with a variety of weapons and your job is to basically defend your little bunked against hordes of other colored bears that want to hug you to death.
Persian Maze, developed by PS Games, is a new ball rolling maze game with all sorts of obstacles to get through before you can make it to the next stage. Tiles that drop out from under you, enemy spiked balls, floor spikes, twisters and more are all there to stop you from getting out of each maze successfully. This game kept it simple though with clean 2D graphics.
Defensiod is a new tower defense game just released onto the Android market and was developed by Darren White. Just like any other tower defense game you have your map and a selection of upgradeable towers to use in your attempts to defend yourself against your enemies. However this tower defense game has a couple of unique features that set it apart from the rest.
We just wrapped up the first ever Android Gaming Challenge which was not only dubbed the first of it’s kind for the Android platform but some reports labeled it as the first of it’s kind of mobile gaming in general! The response? Massive. With over 400+ initial participants and media coverage on just about every major Android website (fantastic Android community support) and some technology/mobile news sites, the first AGC was a great success.
Are you a ninja? Enjoy bouncing off walls and attacking enemies from behind? Well even if you aren’t there is a new game on the Android market which is a fast paced platformer with a nice 8-bit retro style called Hyperactive Ninja, developed by Ninja Coders. In this game you are a ninja strung out on caffeine and you need to get past every level continuously move and rescue all the coffee.
Emulators have progressed to all different kinds of systems thanks to the advances in technology. Everyone I know has a favorite console game that they wish could be portable, and until the day that it becomes portable, emulators will be the closest thing possible to that dream. Thankfully we have a decent selection of emulators on the Android market including this one for the Playstation 1.
We just received a tip yesterday from Dave Loft who was the person responsible for bringing to light Gameloft’s DRM policy issues awhile back. According to Dave, you are now available to get Avatar HD for your phone from the Gameloft website and sure enough after checking out the link it is there and is available for purchase at $4.99. It looks real good too!
We have been following an MMORPG for Android that has been in development for quite some time now. While it seems as though it will always be in beta a new version was just released and includes a huge amount of improvements and changes including the overall look. Even better still is that there are still available spots open for beta testers should you want to sign-up!
