A couple of days ago we talked about Polarbit’s latest racing game Cracking Sands and that it would be arriving on Google Play in a few days. We that day has come and their new combat kart racing game is now available for players to download and begin kicking up dust and taking down opponents.
In the spirit of Tron and the light racing bikes from the franchise, Avko Labs has released a tunnel racing game called Death Track that takes influence from the Tron brand. Sporting glowy 3D graphics, players will hope into their light bikes and race through a tunnel dodging hazards along the way.
So about a week ago there was a story we reported on regarding Gameloft’s Asphalt 7: Heat title and the fact that users were being bombarded suddenly with what looked to be Airpush ads. It didn’t help either that a forum administrator over on the Gameloft forums confirmed that Gameloft uses Airpush. Well Gameloft has sent over an official statement regarding this whole issue.
Way back in 2011 we talked about a new racing game Polarbit had been working on called Cracking Sands.

For the third edition of our Game of the Week poll, we are going to combine releases from the past two weeks because developers are taking it easy during this early part of the year and we’ve had a hard time finding games worthy of being in contention for the award.

It has been a few months since EA released a video of any kind relating to their upcoming racing game Real Racing 3.

When it comes to ads and Android games, many of us have come to terms with the fact that they will always be there. In fact it is pretty much a standard option of monetizing a game that a developer releases for free. When we buy a game, we generally expect to not see ads at all although sometimes they are included anyways. Well Gameloft’s Asphalt 7: Heat is now using Airpush which happens to be one of the ad serving services that most people find incredibly annoying.
A few days ago, we mentioned Riptide GP 2 as one of the upcoming Tegra 4 games that should be arriving in the coming months.

It seems like Asphalt 7: Heat only just came out yesterday, but Gameloft isn’t resting on their laurels and are already into the deep development stage for the next game in the series, titled Asphalt 8: Infinity. We actually already knew of the existence of this game when Gameloft’s entire 2013 line-up was leaked, but now there’s in-game footage and a leaked developer’s diary to confirm everything.
