Back during CES 2012 we got to take some time and do a little hands-on playing of an early build of Shadowgun Deadzone, the multiplayer version of their popular third-person shooter game for Android. It was originally slated for release onto Android shortly after CES 2012 but for whatever reason it never came to be. Well it looks like that very well may be changing due to a new post on their Facebook page which has begun teasing to multiplayer version of Shadowgun.
Kabam, known for their free-to-play browser MMO games and now their recently released Arcane Empires on Android, look to be gearing up to release another game soon and this time it could be based off of The Hobbit. Officially being called The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-Earth, this mobile phone and tablet MMORTS game is slated for release later this Fall, just in time for the first release of Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy this December.
A new point-and-click adventure game has arrived onto Kickstarter today looking for funding from gamers who enjoy this genre of games. Developed by Anarchy Enterprises, Devil’s Cove takes place in a harbor town of the same name where a series of gruesome crimes have happened by the enemy known as the Plague Doctor. The police in the town seem to suddenly be on the side of the Plague Doctor, silencing anyone who have gotten involved in trying to stop what’s happening in Devil’s Cove.
Interesting news today coming from Texas Instruments as they have announced that they will be officially backing out of the mobile devices industry to focus on a more broader range of products such as automobiles and other technology that uses embedded chip systems. This is due to the fact that right now, for Texas Instruments, the mobile industry isn’t as stable and profitable as they had hoped it would be.
Earlier this morning we reported on a new sale Google would be putting on to celebrate passing the 25 billion overall downloads mark on Google Play. Now games and applications are starting to appear on the Google Play store for $0.25 to kick things off. It isn’t just applications and games though, there will be special 25-themed packs of music, books, magazines and more.
Noble Master Games has been on the forefront of RTS title releases on Android, first bringing their hit browser RTS title called Age of Conquest along with all the expansions. Then came Tropical Stormfront, a more tropical themed RTS game. Now we have their latest addition to their arsenal of games called Desert Stormfront.
Great Big War Game by Rubicon Development is another title in a line of charming turn-based strategy games that is simple to learn but packs many hours of entertainment. Sure, these tiny little soldiers are adorable to look at but killing is their business and business is often pretty darn good. You start out by passing through a series of basic tutorials but soon enough find yourself within the thick of it for real. The enemy can be hidden by a fog of war but, if you’re like me and prefer to have it terribly easy at first, there is an optional toggle that lights up the entire battlefield. After I got used to the game I meant to turn it back on, I really did, but I was having too much fun to notice. I’m not much of a warrior, obviously.
You may remember a few weeks ago that Gameloft sent out a press release detailing some upcoming games, one of which happened to be Modern Combat 4, a slip from the folks at Gameloft as the press release was eventually changed to not include that title, although we have the original press release in our article. Well it seems as though Gameloft is having a hard time keeping the lid on this game as a new trailer and images have leaked out about the next Modern Combat game.
Android, like most things in life, has its fair share of ups and downs. Being an ‘open’ platform, there is a lot that can be done with an Android phone or tablet right out of the box. The same cannot be said of iOS and Windows Phone devices, which are ‘closed’ for the most part, and therefore the user’s ability to customize and what-not is severely limited.
One of the more anticipated racing games heading our way right now happens to be coming from Electronic Arts, who will be publishing the game when it’s ready. Developed by Firemonkeys, which is the new development studio under EA that was formed when Firemint and Iron Monkeys joined forces, Real Racing 3 looks to be quite the impressive racing game.
