Freemium titles are popular these days, well, because they’re free. Add the enticing combination of Ninjas and Martial arts tournament fighting and the formula almost solves itself. It’s a cash cow. Shadow Fight 2 has garnered a whopping 5,000,000 downloads in less than half of a month, taking a sharp katana to the face of existing premium fighting titles already in the marketplace. The franchise’s humble beginning started on facebook and had a very successful run on iOS devices, so the momentum was already primed for an Android release. Shadow Fight 2 eventually snuck its way onto Android to a not so stealthy response, but more akin to sake enriched Sumo wrestler in a China shop. So far for developers Nekki, Shadow Fight 2 has been a total success on the Android platform.

There’s a new FPS out by Brutal Studio, the guys who brought us Epic Celeb Brawl, yep, I’ve never heard of them either. Heavy Shooter is a fixed FPS game, you have no movement and shoot from a fixed position on the map.
Batman Arkham Origins has just been released for Android and It’s free. Batman is one of the more interesting DC heroes (not that that is much of an accolade), and I love NetherRealm’s fighting games; so I immediately downloaded it. How does it play?
Planet Stronghold is a full length RPG set in a SciFi setting. While the story is interesting, and there is control over both the direction it takes and over your relationships with the other characters, there is unfortunately a LOT that gets in the way of actual enjoyment of the game.
Phenomenally gifted is one way to describe Edson Arantes do Nascimento, also known as Pelé. After watching fifteen minutes of a documentary covering his dribbling, passing and scoring skills, I was amazed. Football’s (soccer) most well renowned player has arrived in the Play Store. Pelé: King of Football is the first game from mobile application design and development group Cosi Productions, based in New York. If you have enjoyed games like Flick Soccer! by Full Fat Games, you will definitely want to download this game. It is enjoyable and has plenty to offer.
Who knew that the runner genre of game play would become so popular? There is no shortage of runner type games in the Play Store. The game play is straightforward, your character is propelled ahead of you and all you have to do is either tap or swipe to stay alive. Terminus by Imaginary Computer takes things beyond the traditional game play and spins your environment around you as you are launched down a chamber. Guess what? It works.

In Heroes & Castles, Foursaken Media has created a genre blending game that is part Action-RPG, Strategy and Castle Defense. Either of those types of games individually can bring plenty of fun gaming, but put them together and you have a formula for success.

NothingElse is a very dark game, a very short game, a game that doesn’t allow you to save your progress, yet great nonetheless. I’ll do the best I can to review this without of spoiling the ending, which was incredibly dark, but I definitely didn’t see it coming. For that reason, the game won me over.
The Last Express is a murder mystery that was originally released for Macs and PCs in the spring of 1997, and has since been ported to Android. It’s set in the days leading up to World War I, and you play the entire game on a passenger train passing through a large portion of Europe, on its way to Constantinople. On the whole, it’s quite unique for for a game. In some ways, it’s a bit like the game Clue, as both games have players confined to a space full of colorful characters that each have their own agenda. You need to navigate those agendas to accomplish your own in solving a murder.
