While a lot of the major labels in the gaming industry have already solidified their place, at least to some extent, in the mobile gaming scene, Activision Blizzard are pretty late to the game in terms of releases. However, with the formation of their new division, Activision Mobile, they are now ready to focus more on mobile gaming and, interestingly enough, when it comes to Android it will be with the Kindle Fire HD tablets.
Last week Amazon unveiled a whole new line-up of tablets that are the second generation of the Kindle Fire and along with their announcement, Amazon said that two of the tablets would begin shipping out today. The new Kindle Fire HD line was actually fairly big, coming with a variety of models depending on what you wanted, whether it is a smaller 7″ tablet, a bigger 8.9″ WiFi version or even an 4G/LTE edition of the 8.9″ tablet. Well for those of you who pre-ordered the 7″ variety of the Kindle Fire HD, those units begin shipping out today.
Last November, we published an article here entitled “Exor Studios will be unleashing Zombie Driver THD onto Tegra 3 Android devices soon”. Well, that ‘soon’ has come, albeit belatedly almost a year later. It is slated for an October 17 launch in tandem with the game’s release on other platforms like Steam and Xbox Live Arcade.
A new Kickstarter campaign has recently gone live as of a couple of days ago for a new football game which was inspired by some classic titles like Tecmo Bowl. Being developed by Run Games LLC, Football Heroes is a hybrid football / beat ’em up / RPG title that will be making its way to Android devices when it launches. The Kickstarter campaign also offers some rather unique rewards for helping with the funding for the game.
The other week when we posted about Square Enix’s upcoming Tokyo Game Show line-up, there were a couple of the games listed that were originally coming to Android in a worldwide release were suddenly labeled as Japan-only releases. Apparently now we are back to having a worldwide release for their upcoming Unreal Engine built rhythm-based action game Demon’s Score. Along with this news, we now know a little bit more about what composers will be on there and also have a new trailer to show.
While some people may think that cloud gaming isn’t ready just yet to be fully adopted into the gaming industry, especially in regards to using services like OnLive and Gaikai on mobile devices, a company called CiiNOW has launched it’s own cloud gaming service, bringing more Triple-A titles to PC, SmartTVs, Tablets and phones.
Back in April of this year we talked about a new Action-RPG game heading our way from Spicy Horse Games called Akaneiro: Demon Hunters. Since then the game has been under heavy development with details about the game being kept on the down low. Now, not only are beta signups now live for Akaneiro: Demon Hunters but we also have the first gameplay video showing off this rather excellent looking game.
I recently sat down with another adventure game, this time Aidem Media’s City of Secrets, fully expecting to find a similar experience to other point-and-click titles from earlier reviews. There are many similar designs and ideas between all adventure games but the unique setting and charming characters in City of Secrets help to set it apart from the pack. We are all familiar with clicking and moving our characters, reading or listening to sometimes massive piles of text, fumbling our way through sometimes great and often horrible puzzles and scratching our heads when an obvious (in hindsight) solution isn’t so obvious. The adventure genre is as filled with repeats and bland designs as any other, but City of Secrets puts out enough original content to make it noteworthy.
Last week, we did a poll on whether you prefer using virtual d-pads or tap-to-go in action games that require dynamic movement. We’re going to continue discussing on the many different control mechanisms for Android games via our weekly poll, and this week our focus is on racing titles.
Vector Unit are no strangers to the Android gaming world. They have had two hit games previously, namely the graphically-awesome Riptide GP and the moonshine-smuggling Shine Runner. Now, they’ve got a third game added to their arsenal, Beach Buggy Blitz. Racing a buggy on a beach (yes, they still haven’t completely left the water) sounds awesome, but how does it turn out actually?
