2K Games surpised us a couple of week ago when they decided to quietly release NBA 2K13 onto Android. Now they have gone a step further and have quietly released a companion application for NBA 2K13 called MyNBA2K. This companion app isn’t really for the Android version of the game but instead extends your NBA 2K13 experience on Xbox 360, PS3 and the Wii U. In fact it can connect back to the game regardless of what console you’re playing it on.
There are plenty of applications out there that deal with game discovering such as Hooked but there is a new one out now that basically turns game discovery into a game itself called Giftiz. Developed by Purple Brain, Giftiz is an interesting little game discovery platform where as you find and play games, completing missions, and you will earn experience points. Using these points, you will be able to level your account up.
What sort of week would this be if there wasn’t any new OUYA news to report on? Today we actually get three little bits of news regarding OUYA, the upcoming Android-based home gaming console. This time the news is a bit less gaming related and more geared towards other services that will be arriving for the console.
If you are unfamiliar with what Marble Arena 2 is, it is a game for Windows, Mac and Linux that was created and is maintained by a couple of developers. It is an impressive game visually and has plenty of gameplay to offer. Now you can use your Android device to control the game with the official Marble Arena 2 Controller.
One application we have been waiting for since CES 2012 is the Tegra 3 optimized version of Splashtop Remote Desktop. Appropriately named Splashtop THD, this is for Tegra 3 only devices and, if you remember our coverage of CES 2012, allowed us to play Skyrim on a Transformer Prime tablet.
Sony’s upcoming PlayMemories service and application suite will be launching this March (if all goes well) and along with it will come an application for Android as well. The entire PlayMemories suite will actually consist of four different parts: PlayMemories Studio, PlayMemories Online, PlayMemories Home and PlayMemories Mobile.
One bane of Android gamers is when a game is released and their device isn’t supported. About 90% of the time, the game in question will actually run fine on any particular device in question, it is just that for whatever reason a developer has chosen not to support that particular device. At least not that the current time you are trying to download it.
OnLive doesn’t officially support the Xperia Play controls, at least not yet but thanks to a new app on the Android Market there is some good news for Xperia Play owners who wish to use the controls that come with the device. This new app is called the OnLive Helper app.
The Battlefield 3 Battlelog service, which tracks your stats from the game, was slated to get a mobile app which would allow you to check out your stats while on the go. While still slated for release on iOS, EA has now thrown a ‘may’ into the mix instead of a sure thing when talking about the app coming to Android.
Not too long ago, back in the beginning of September, we reported on the fact that Modern Warfare 3 would be getting an application that would allow you to switch up your gear and a few other tasks in-game through your Android device. The new system, called Call of Duty Elite now has a nice little tour on video which shows a glimpse of the mobile app and how it will look.
