In our previous article last week about being able to use DroidMote to play OnLive games on your Android tablet while using your Android phone as a game controller, we mentioned that we were not sure if it would work for games that are not optimized yet with touch screen controls. Well thanks to one of our readers, we now know it does and you can see it in action after the break.
So far we have talked about playing Shadowgun using the DroidMote apps in conjunction with a tablet and phone, then the DroidMote getting Xperia Play support. Now this versitile little application can let you play OnLive games on an Android tablet while using your Android phone as a game controller.
Best Buy and Hooked Media have apparently teamed up to host an Android game developer contest called Get Discovered!. The contest is pretty simply really and apparently the only real work you will have to do is use the Hooked SDK in a new game of yours which will integrate Hooked Media’s new discovery platform with your game.
OnLive doesn’t officially support the Xperia Play controls, at least not yet but thanks to a new app on the Android Market there is some good news for Xperia Play owners who wish to use the controls that come with the device. This new app is called the OnLive Helper app.
We knew this day was coming for quite some time even seeing it already running on a Motorola Xoom back during E3 2011. OnLive’s gaming service is now fully available for Android devices which means, through the app, you will be able to stream console games right to your Android device.
The Battlefield 3 Battlelog service, which tracks your stats from the game, was slated to get a mobile app which would allow you to check out your stats while on the go. While still slated for release on iOS, EA has now thrown a ‘may’ into the mix instead of a sure thing when talking about the app coming to Android.
You may or may not have caught our article about how to play Shadowgun on an Asus Transformer while using an Android phone as a gamepad to play it. One of the items needed to accomplish this was a program called DroidMote which has a server and client app you need to install.
I’m just as much of a fan of gaming as the readers that come here. However, our phones are more than just awesome gaming on-the-go devices. We use these mobile devices for texting, keeping track of our calendar, listening to music, and, yes, occasionally making a phone call. I tend to keep a max of 2-3 screens, and I like to keep my screens pretty uncluttered for the most part.
If you’re in a room with multiple Android-carrying phone users, take a minute to look around. I doubt you’ll see too many of us that have the same aesthetic wonderful setups on our phones. Android aficionados tend to be very different in how they want their phone to look.
WildTangent seems to be taking a bit of an aggressive approach to expanding their game rental service on Android. Not only is WildTanget launching in the UK today but it is also now available for all Android devices as well here in the US and is not exclusive to T-Mobile anymore. Also it will be coming pre-installed on the Sony S and Sony P tablets.
