Interesting news coming out of the world of multiplayer games, specifically mobile ones, as GameSpy has closed down multiple multiplayer servers being used in games. The reason? Basically the short story is that they were not getting paid and that contracts were not being renewed, publishers were just letting them lapse. Obviously a company can’t run without making money so this has led to a shutdown of multiple servers.
Players of Glu Mobile’s hack n’ slash game Eternity Warriors 2 will be getting a new content update later this month which will bring with it a whole new area called the Dragon’s Lair. This new area, as you may be guessing from its name, will have players battling it out with massive dragons… but wait, there is a twist to it!
Dragon Slayer, a new Infinity Blade-esque game brought to us by Glu is yet another take on the “swipe, swipe, swipe, push a button, swipe, spend money” genre of gaming that seems to be the only thing I happen to have the misfortune of coming across on the Google Play market. Bear in mind that I come from a background of covering — and loving — independent titles, so covering games that are essentially re-skins of a game that came out years ago is a bit depressing.
Glu Mobile has begun showing off their next offering for Android gamers and it is the second game in the Contract Killers Zombies series called Contract Killer Zombies 2: Origins. Featuring third-person shooting action, you’ll be roaming around various locations and doing what you do best, eliminating zombies, lots and lots of zombies.
A few days ago Glu announced a new game that would be heading to Android soon called Dragon Slayer. This particular game is Glu’s answer to bringing a title similar to Monster Hunter to Android without it actually being Monster Hunter, or as one commenter put it in our previous post, it is basically like Death Dome but with dragons. Still, Dragon Slayer offers up some pretty enjoyable gameplay and visuals.
Death Dome, by Glu Mobile, is not really anything surprising. We’ve seen this same cycle play out before in all sorts of genres. One or two titles come out and create a demand for a certain style and we get to witness a parade of clones, games that attempt to not only copy the original success of those earlier titles but that often add nothing to the genre. Many gamers buy these copycat titles and relish in what is essentially more of the same thing, feeding the parade. It’s not that I mind players or developers who enjoy copycats and repeated mechanics. As long as everyone is having fun then all is good. The problem comes in when we have a harder time finding original content thanks to games like Death Dome taking up space on virtual shelf of the Play store.
Want more Halloween content in your Android games? Well Glu Mobile has updated a number of their games with new Halloween themed content. Everything from zombie deer in Deer Hunter to your character having a pumpkin head and a bad ass broom in Eternity Warrior 2. Each game that has gotten updated has been treated to Halloween themed content unique to that specific game.
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.
Glu Mobile have released their latest multiplayer game onto Android called Indestructible. This new game is pretty much a completely multiplayer only game where you will jump in behind the wheel of a variety of vehicles, load up on weaponry, and go after everyone else in game.
Yesterday we talked about Glu Mobile who were planning to release a pet sim type of game onto Android called My Dragon. It is a very casual game where you will be taking care of the dragons as the royal dragon keeper of Draconia. Well for those of you who were interested in this game, My Dragon is now available on Google Play.
