Google has decided to put a pretty awesome game sale on for this weekend, with a pretty nice selection of titles being up to 90% off for a limited time. Between now and July 27th, 2015, you will have the ability to pick up any of the 22 games currently on sale, all of which are heavily discounted.
If appears that Razer is looking to bolster the sales of their Android set-top box / micro-console called the Forge TV as it has now appeared on Google’s Store for devices. We got to go hands-on with this set-top box back during GDC this year and with the short amount of time we had with it, it was a decent little box to play with.
It was only a matter of time before this happened, but Google has apparently begun a Free App of the Week feature which is similar to what Amazon does over on their appstore, except this is a weekly thing and not a daily thing like Amazon. What is even more interesting though is that you basically have to hunt for this Free App of the Week as there’s no immediate promotion for it on the front of Google Play.
Nvidia has made a second announcement at Google I/O 2015 and while yesterday’s was the official launch of the company’s new Shield Android TV console, today’s announcement is for a new suite of tools called AndroidWorks. These tools have been designed to help developers make better Android games and is an expansion of Nvidia’s current suite of tools for PC game developers called GameWorks.
While Channel 1 and 2 for Google I/O 2015 are more focused on mobile technologies, programming and development, along with other things in those areas, like Android Wear, Channel 3 is more about other Google related subjects such as Polymer and Modern Web APIs, which happens to be the starting session on this channel.
Google has three channels of live streams for Google I/O 2015. Each one has its own schedule for keynotes and sessions, all of which focus on different areas. All three channels went live at 9am PST and channel 2 is starting off with “Smarter user acquisition with App Indexing, AdWords and Google Analytics” and will then be followed-up with Project Tango, Designing for Virtual Reality and some other great sessions.
It’s Friday and it is Day 2 of Google I/O 2015 and Google is streaming their keynotes and sessions live via YouTube like always. Of course if you happen to be here already, we have added the stream here for you to watch and the first keynote for Day 2 is the Google ATAP (Advanced Technology and Projects team) keynote.
It is time for another Android game sale round-up for the end of this week. We are doing it today instead of our usual Friday round-up since we have already talked a lot this week about sales, so we wanted to wait till the very end of this week to make sure we get all the good games into this list this week.
Google Play has many different nicknames for it, with one of the more popular ones being that it is the ‘Wild West’ of games and applications. This is mainly due to Google’s easy access for publishers who want to upload their games and apps onto Google Play. As long as you follow the TOS )Terms of Service), don’t break anything related to copyrights, and pay your one-time developer fee to open you account, you can pretty much publish whatever you want. Games that get denied by Apple usually make an appearance on Google Play.
Yesterday we began rounding up the April Fools Day jokes and pranks we came across. Even though for us April Fools Day didn’t start until today, depending on where you live in the world April Fools Day was yesterday for you, hence the Google Japan jokes and Samsung getting in on the action as well. However, now it is April Fools Days for us and there are plenty of jokes and pranks going on already. We will just be keeping a running list of the funnier ones we see.
