Radiant Games already has plenty of good games that they ported over from other platforms onto Android and now we get one more to add to that list called JoyJoy. However don’t let the name fool you into thinking that this is some sort of cute little game. In reality it is actually quite the awesome arcade shooter instead.

Not too long ago we reported on the fact that the creator of Flappy Bird was pondering the possibility of actually bringing the game back to life and back onto mobile devices for people to go back to sinking time into. While nothing was concrete back then, once you start pondering things like this, chances are you’ll actually go ahead and do it and that is the case here with Flappy Birds.
Endless running games, much like the genre itself, seem to continue being made with no end in sight. While there has been a definite upsurge in the genre over the last couple of years, with titles such as Temple Run and Subway Surfers blazing the trail, many of the games come across as mere clones. Often utilizing similar mechanics and an aggressive cash shop, the genre seemed as if the only place it was running – was the ground. Enter Wind Runner, a side scrolling endless runner with a pretty face, made by WeMade Entertainment.
One of the early popular games for the Ouya console was Towerfall, a local multiplayer game where up to four people try to kill each other round after round. A new game that landed on Ouya yesterday brings us similar mechanics but this time with squacky little ducks and is appropriately named Duck Game.
Borderlands 2 has been available on the PS Vita for a week now (if you bought the Vita Slim bundle). While it may be the only handheld to run the game natively, it is not the only handheld Borderlands 2 can be played on. The NVIDIA Shield offers PC streaming of many games, and Borderlands 2 is one of them. I happen to be in a very small camp of people who own both systems and I’ve given both of them a try.
[Updated] ustwo’s architectural puzzler Monument Valley will be released onto Android at some point
ustwo already has a pretty strong following on the mobile gaming scene thanks to their past releases and their latest one is doing pretty damn good already on iOS. However if you’re on Android and want to check this game out, you’ve been out of luck. That is changing though as ustwo is working on an Android version of Monument Valley.
Looking for a new puzzle game, well MacGyver: Deadly Descent, from FairPlay Media might be one to try. Developed with input form Lee David Zlotoff, the creator of MacGyver, Deadly Decent returns MacGyver to his roots as a young problem solver in a modern environment. That’s right the ultimate jury rigger (or jerry rigger) from the 80’s is back for a new adventure in new times.
Anodyne is a single-player, top-down, Action-RPG for the Android platform. I’m quite fond of this style of game as it recalls memories of playing the older Legend of Zelda titles from my childhood, where you go off adventuring through strange lands and find helpful items and interesting characters to chat with along the way. While Anodyne has these features and they really make this game an enjoyable experience to play all the way through, it also has a look and feel that is very distinct from other Action-RPGs, and is quite unique to itself.
With devices nowadays becoming more and more powerful, good platformer games are harder to come by. Platformer games in the mobile segment often offer too little to get gamers hooked. It is understandable as fully-rendered 3D adventure games often offer more customization and content altogether thus increasing expectations, even for 2D platformers. Swordigo is a mobile platformer that does not fall into the same pit that most games of this genre do. The guys over at Touch Foo outdid themselves on this one as Swordigo follows the side-scrolling genre while implementing the same elements of surprise and puzzle solving reminiscent of classic platformers like the Mega Man and Tomba! series.
Over the last couple of weeks since we announced that we are looking for writers, we’ve been going through each and every application that was sent into us. The response was, to say the least, overwhelming. This is a good thing because we had a lot of qualified applicants submit their emails of interest in writing for the site. This was also a difficult thing because we actually had to make a decision on who to take on as new writers.
