Amazon Games Studio has announced the launch of their ‘first’ game onto Android today called Air Patriots. While this is being called their first game release made in-house, this is technically not their first game released as Airport Mania happens to be their first published title. If you dive into it further, it can get a bit confusing as to who is making what since if you look at the Google Play link, it shows Southwinds Games in the URL while the account is actually under Lemon Team.
A new update has been pushed out for Rovio’s Angry Birds Space game which appears to finish the cycle of updates that seem to have been going on over the last couple of weeks with the entire Angry Birds series. It seems like every Angry Birds game has now gotten an update with new content and Angry Birds Space has finally gotten theirs.
Electronic Arts has been showing off over the past month or so the next installment into the SimCity series of games for PC which, if I may say, looks pretty damn impressive. As a SimCity fan, next year’s game looks to be the best one yet. It’s also no secret that Electronic Arts, along with other developers, have made it rather a well known fact that most upcoming games will feature some sort of mobile tie-in, whether it be just social aspects of the game, companion apps that also affect their PC/Console counter-parts, or complete mobile versions of their games.
More pinball news coming your way today but this time regarding Pinball Arcade by FarSight Studios. Pinball Arcade is almost the exact opposite of Zen Pinball in terms of the tables it comes with. Both are pinball platforms where you can purchase and play a variety of beautifully rendered pinball tables on your Android device. However, Zen Pinball features completely custom made tables, usually with Marvel themes to them, while Pinball Arcade takes actual pinball tables that existed and makes digital replicas of them for everyone to play.
Time for some more Star Wars news but this time it is about the upcoming Rovio Angry Birds/Star Wars crossover, appropriately named Angry Birds Star Wars. Rovio is continuing their onslaught of teaser videos and trailers and today we get a new gameplay trailer that features R2-D2 and C-3PO birds. The last video, in case you missed it, featured Luke and Leia.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 24 hours then you’ve probably already heard the news of Disney which bought LucasFilm for a silly amount of money before announcing that there would be a Star Wars Episode VII movie heading our way soon in 2015, with additional movies every two years or so until they really beat the franchise to death, more than it has been already. While the internet focuses on this fact, whether good or bad, Disney has also hinted at mobile games coming from their newly acquired franchise.
We’ve reported on Exor Studios and their Zombie Driver game which was headed for Android for quite some time now. In fact the last time we reported on it, back in September 2012, Zombie Driver THD was slated for release on Tegra devices on October 17th, 2012. Well a couple of weeks late, but perfect for Halloween, Zombie Driver THD has finally arrived onto Google Play for Tegra-based devices.
Rovio’s Angry Birds spin-off game, Bad Piggies, has received an update that add fifteen new levels to the game. However, it isn’t just a few levels that come with the update, although the new levels are pretty interesting as you’ll be building your contraptions and getting those pigs from point A to point B under a moonlit sky.
Death Dome, by Glu Mobile, is not really anything surprising. We’ve seen this same cycle play out before in all sorts of genres. One or two titles come out and create a demand for a certain style and we get to witness a parade of clones, games that attempt to not only copy the original success of those earlier titles but that often add nothing to the genre. Many gamers buy these copycat titles and relish in what is essentially more of the same thing, feeding the parade. It’s not that I mind players or developers who enjoy copycats and repeated mechanics. As long as everyone is having fun then all is good. The problem comes in when we have a harder time finding original content thanks to games like Death Dome taking up space on virtual shelf of the Play store.
Recently we reviewed the new MOGA gaming controller which, as a controller, is excellent and works quite well for pretty much any of your gaming needs whether it be on a phone, clipped into the MOGA, or on your tablet as a wireless Bluetooth controller. However, the MOGA controller requires you to use the Pivot app which, as an app, is rather nice but does have some issues. A recent update the other day fixed a few of these issues though.
