As far as gamebooks are concerned the genre has been around for a very long time, much longer than it has been on mobile, and it has a pretty big fan base. While most of them adhere to the standard format of gamebooks, that being you read through the book and flips to the corresponding page that is based on your decision when presented with a choice of what to do, these gamebooks are a bit different in terms of how their style is.
One thing CES is usually good for is getting a sneak peek or two and unreleased games that will soon be coming to Android.

Thanks to games like Flappy Birds there has been quite the movement of games that are simple to play but extremely challenging to survive for long periods of time in.

Following the success of their previous projects Epoch and Epoch 2, Uppercut Games recently unveiled their next game in development entitled Submerged. In the Epoch series, the environment was a post-apocalyptic world where only robots survived to fight a war that never ends. In Submerged, the environment is literally overflowing with action, adventure and a compelling narrative. From the brief synopsis of the game, it appears the storyline will have as much heart as it does action and lush visuals.
Pretty much every major racing league has its own official game, whether that be Formula 1, NASCAR or others. There was one exception to that and it was the World Rally Championship which, up until now, didn’t have any sort of official game. That’s not to say there are not any rally racing games available for Android, there just wasn’t one for the WRC.
