For all of you Angry Birds Rio fans who have been waiting patiently for the new update to arrive on the Android Market version, the wait is almost over. Rovio announced via Twitter that the update would be pushed out onto the Android Market by the end of the day on Friday.
Once a week, while the upcoming 3D MMORPG for Android called World of Midgard is being developed, we will do a recap of the past 7 days worth of news regarding this game. This is, of course, if it is general update news. The developers love to publish videos so combining it all into a recap-style post is much easier to enjoy.
While the Android Market does have it’s fair share of issues, one being piracy of games and apps, it is not often that we get to see the effects first hand. Unfortunately, we are given one situation where piracy is directly damaging one company. Pinyl Studios is close to bankrupcy because their first Android game is pirated so much.
Yesterday we got an exclusive preview into TibiaME by Cipsoft, a retro-style MMORPG for your Android device. Originally a PC MMORPG, CipSoft has basically taken the original game, made some crazy changes to make a mobile version and now it is available on the Android Market. If you dig retro RPGs then you’ll probably enjoy this game.
It’s not often we get to use the Epiic Fail picture twice in one week but Vodefone must like it considering what they have done. Yesterday reports were that Vodefone had their entire launch shipment of the Xperia Play stolen from some store in New Zealand. Well the cat is out of the bag and it turns out it was all fake. Bravo Vodafone.
Everyone has probably heard by now that Amazon has some goodies in the works when it comes to Android devices. Well some news regarding their tablets that are being developed has come out that these devices, codenamed Coyote and Hollywood, will be multi-core Android tablets, slated for release near the end of this year.
Awhile back we reported on a MMORPG coming to Android called TibiaME by Cipsoft. A lot of current people who play TibiaME also own Android phones so the requests for an Android version were pretty numerous. The beta, and also a more home brew method, were available for Android devices but set at a small resolution.
Well now that the bad news regarding the Xperia Play, at least for our friends in New Zealand, is out of the way, there is some good news to report on as well. For all of us Android gamers here in the US, the Xperia Play on Verizon has finally gotten a pre-order and launch date along with some pricing to round it all off.
Well here is something you don’t hear every day. According to their Facebook page, Vodafone in New Zealand has had their entire stock of Xperia Plays for use in the launch of the device down there stolen. Yes, you read that right. The entire stock of Xperia Play Android devices has been ripped off.
Earlier this year we mentioned that the second Android Gaming Challenge was on the way. A lot of people have been waiting for this to start and now the wait is almost over. We here at DroidGamers are happy to announce the official AGC#2 sign-up and starting date as well as give you a peek into the prizes.
