nVidia has been hitting the mobile multi-core scene pretty hard lately with Tegra 2 coming out in a fair amount of devices already and the announcement of the Tegra 3 quad-core chip at Mobile World Congress this year. After showing off a working unit at MWC 2011, we were hoping there would be one at GDC 2011 and there was!
A lot of people have been waiting to get their hands on the Android version of Vendetta Online and now the wait is over. Before you get all excited though, there are a few requirements that need to be met. First you’ll need a Tegra 2 tablet, but we already knew that. Secondly, it has to be 7″ screen size or bigger.
We are in San Francisco for GDC 2011 and upon arriving and checking our inbox, we got some great news from the crew over at nVidia which will answer a question a lot of you new Tegra 2 Android device owners have been asking. nVidia’s Tegra Zone is now available for you to download off the Android Market.
Unigine is a 3D game engine that, up until recently, was strictly for Windows/Linux/PS3. Now it supports Android game development with future mobile platforms to be supported in the future. It is nice to see a game engine jump onto Android first when regarding mobile game development, then other platforms later.
Monster Madness has been one of the games we’ve really been waiting for to be released onto the Android Market. Finally the wait is over and all you lucky people with a Tegra 2 device already are going to be happy. Monster Madness, made with Unreal Engine 3, is a top-down shooter where you will be blasting away at a variety of monsters.
One game we were lucky enough to get a hands-on with during CES 2011 was Vendetta Online which looks absolutely amazing. Vendetta Online for Android is a port of the very popular space action-MMORPG game of the same name. We are still lucky to be one of the few to ever see this game in action on a tablet in person.
Another game, or series of games actually, that we got to check out and get some hands-on time with back at CES 2011 was Hardwood Solitaire IV by Silver Creek Entertainment. This game is actually a set of 10 different solitaire games to play but unlike most solitaire games for any system, visually this game was stunning.
Another Tegra 2 Android game has landed on the Android Market, this time revolving around some awesome 3D graphics while you smash your way through football games. When it comes to a football video game to play on a mobile device, Backbreaker THD is pretty much at the top of the list of ones to get.
The massive 1GB+ monster-sized tactics RPG by HyperDevBox called Spectral Souls has been updated with support for the nVidia Tegra 2 chipset now. This means that if you are lucky enough to have a Tegra 2 device already, and happen to own Spectral Souls, then you’ll be seeing quite the performance boost.
It was going to happen, you knew it was. The Tegra 2 games are starting to roll out onto the Android Market and one of the first titles to land on the market is by MADFINGER games with their simply awesome manga-style Samurai II: Vengeance game. Made with Unity3D and optimized for Tegra 2 Android devices, this is a great game.
