Blue Button Games will soon be bringing their physics-based puzzle game Polarity over to Android. Currently this game is on Steam Greenlight as it attempts to get enough votes to be officially launched on Steam. Polarity also happens to fully support the Oculus Rift as well which would actually make playing this game pretty entertaining to say the least.
Information is beginning to surface today over possible layoffs at Valve who are the developers of the Half-Life franchise and Steam. Details right now are pretty scarce as to what is going on and regarding the number of employees let go as of Tuesday morning. While the number of staff who have been laid off is currently unknown, some terms describing the situation being thrown around include “great cleansing” and “large decisions.”
A new Tegra 3 optimized game will be heading our way soon which is actually a game that is already out on Xbox Live Arcade as well as on Steam for PCs called Space Ark. It will officially have the THD tacked onto it when it arrives for Tegra 3+ Android devices. We’re saying Tegra 3+ since Tegra 4 is on the way real soon and those devices with Tegra 4 chipsets will also play Tegra 3 games.
Valve seems to continue their push to being a bit more mobile centric. While news is floating around about Valve getting into the mobile hardware game, their Steam service has gotten a bit more mobile friendly thanks to some new improvements.
Valve has released an update for their Steam for Android mobile application. The update brings a few changes, some new little features and better application stability just to name a few things. The IBF Programs Steam application is also back on the market under a new name.
Well that was a pretty quick closed beta for Valve’s official Steam app for Android. having only been released since last week, the beta was a limited closed one where, if you were quick enough to get the app and log-in, you were able to get into the closed beta.
Back on Thursday of last week, Valve released their official mobile app for Steam onto the Android Market. Since then just about every 3rd party Steam application that was on the Android Market previous to the official Steam application’s release has been taken off of the market.
Well this certainly didn’t take long. We have actually known for awhile Valve was considering (read developing) and app for Android and after the recent one we posted about the unofficial Steam app for Android from IBF Programs, Valve has released an official application now.
Developers going by the name of IBF Programs have developed and released an Unofficial Steam app for Android users to toy around with. While this app does a fair amount, it obviously doesn’t do everything an official client would do. Still, it’s pretty slick and most Steam fans should enjoy this application.
EA has re-launched their Origin website and with the new features looks to take on Steam at their own game. So what does this have to do with us? The new Origin will also be focusing on mobile gaming as well which includes Android. The site now acts just like Steam does for PC/console gamers.
