I downloaded Real Racing 3 by game giant EA in the hopes of enjoying a bit of “real” racing. Usually every racing title I experience is cartoony or over-the-top, and I was in the mood for a game that made me feel more, I don’t know, real. The game cost nothing so I had no excuse to try it out. We’ve talked about it on the site before but I was eager to see just what all of the fuss (much of which I found out about later) was about. Being that EA had recently ran into more drama than they could possibly ever want when Sim City’s servers blew up, I was even more eager to see how they fared in the mobile market. I normally skip their games and go for Gameloft when I want a larger, shinier title.

One game we’ve been keeping tabs on happens to come from Asobimo called Avabel Online. For awhile now this game has been in an open beta form but only in Japanese with no other languages available. Even though anyone could download and play the game, unless you know Japanese, you wouldn’t be getting far. Now, however, Avabel Online has dropped the Japanese-only language beta and is now available in English as well.
It is time for another round-up of sales going on right now for Android games and today is an especially good round-up of limited time sales, most likely due to the fact St. Patrick’s Day is this weekend. Whatever the reason is though, there are some pretty awesome games on sale in order to entice you to spend some of those pennies you’ve been saving up.
Gameloft has decided to put up their most recent addition to the Modern Combat franchise on sale for a mere dollar for a limited time. For those of you who are FPS game fans and haven’t picked up Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour, now would be a good time to do so since you’ll be saving around $6 with this sale.
March is shaping up to be a pretty good month for Android game releases already and we can add another title to the list of upcoming games this month.

If you hang out on our forums, you have probably already seen the trailer we posted last week for this game. Now we have plenty more details to share.
If you’ve been following us for awhile now then you have probably seen us report on games being made by a company called Asobimo.

So everyone is waiting patiently for the upcoming 0.7.0 update for Minecraft: Pocket Edition to arrive because of one main feature that will come with this update: true multiplayer. This feature has been requested numerous time by almost everyone who plays this game and now we are finally going to be getting it. Of course if you missed our last article about the 0.7.0 update then you missed some important information regarding the upcoming multiplayer features.
We talked about 11 Bit Studios announcing their Anomaly 2 game last week which will hopefully be arriving for Android at some point. The main feature we were really interested in with Anomaly 2 was the addition of multiplayer, where one player controls the offensive units while the other player would be in charge of the defensive towers. Well it looks like Android gamers can get a head start on learning strategies for this type of multiplayer gaming with a new title from IEDS called City Conquest.
Two games, one of which we’ve talked about in the past, have been successfully funded over on Kickstarter and will be heading to Android soon. Asylum by Agustín Cordes and Ascension Online by Stone Blade Entertainment have both reached their funding goals and Android versions are under development now.
One game we recently talked about was the upcoming title from Big Blue Bubble called Raft Pirates. Being published by 6Waves, Raft Pirates is an interesting game where players take on the role of a sea captain that must build a raft in order to seek out resources and weapons.
