[New Game] God Of Blades Mixes Endless Runner With SoulCalibur And A Bit Of Conan

Posted by in Games, News
Last Updated: April 26th, 2013

Ah, the golden age of pulp fantasy. When men were men, women were women, and gigantic, toothy, screaming monsters were everywhere. New iOS pilgrim God of Blades takes its inspiration from the muscle-bound heroes from Cimmeria, slaps them on a two-dimensional endless runner background, and throws in more swords, axes, and clubs with a nail on the end than any undead warrior could ever need.

The gameplay in God of Blades is a mix of endless runner platformers and the gesture-based fighters typified by Blood & Glory. Swipe up or down for corresponding slashes, right for a quick thrust, or backwards for a parry.

Minibash Brings Strategic Online Fighting With A Colorful, Bloody Twist To Android

Posted by in Games, News

Minibash, a 2D fighter that originally sprang forth from the Toribash community as a flash and iPhone game, recently hit version 1.0 for Android thanks to Nabi Studios. The game is a brilliantly simple 2D turn-based fighting game, in which players train, morph, and fight their respective characters - kicking, punching, and decapitating other players to progress through tournaments, or practicing in single-player challenges.

One of the great things about Minibash, besides its over-the-top blood-gushing art style and effortless online play integration, is that players can customize their fighters, selecting hair styles, body colors, and even blood colors, on top of beefing up the characters by adding or removing mass from the fighter's fists, arms, legs, feet, or joints.

[Leaks] Motorola DROID Fighter Gets Its Glamour Shots On, Angled Corners, HD Screen, And On-Screen Keys All Revealed

Posted by in Leaks, News

We've heard whispers and rumors of a new Motorola device dubbed the "DROID Fighter" (no relation) heading for Verizon. Today, we've got our first look at the device via Mr. Blurrycam. The device was snapped sitting next to a DROID RAZR, highlighting the notable differences of a larger, possibly HD screen and no capacitive buttons.

It can only be assumed that this device, if released as-is, would be an Ice Cream Sandwich device at launch due to its lack of capacitive buttons. Beyond that, however, it's unclear just how much of an improvement this device might be over the DROID RAZR MAXX*.

New In The Android Market: MiniSquadron - The Definition Of Addictive [Game Review]

Posted by in Game Reviews, Games, News, Reviews
Last Updated: July 24th, 2011

The barren desert that is gaming on Android has been with us for as long as the platform itself, and it appears that it is only now changing, with the release of games like Angry Bird and Fruit Ninja. The newly released MiniSquadron looks to be another one of those games that attempt to bring the quality level up to that of iOS, featuring OpenFeint alongside some of the most addictive gameplay I've ever seen from an Android game. However, it is a port of an iPhone game, and we all know how well that's gone historically. Will MiniSquadron break this trend?
