Gameloft's Brothers In Arms 2 Now Available In The Android Market For Free

Posted by Nate Kimmey in Games, News, Videos

Last Updated: August 24th, 2012

While World War II may not be the most original setting for a shooter such as this, Gameloft's latest game - Brothers In Arms 2 - is loaded with excellent graphics, multiplayer, and a price of $0. There is a slight catch to it being free, however; in addition to having ads, the game offers the ability to purchase "Medals" to unlock new features and gear more quickly, but this isn't necessary, and everything can be unlocked by gaining experience instead.

Brothers In Arms 2 is not new - in fact, the paid version was released back in 2010, but today marks its Market debut which should open it up to a whole new world of people who don't like to install apps and games from proprietary game stores.

Classic Arcade Game 'Dragon's Lair' Comes To Android, Quirky Cutscenes Included

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Games, News

Fans of retro-gaming, rejoice - Dragon's Lair has made its way to Android. Originally available as an arcade game back in 1983, this quirky game takes you on the journey of a brave knight on a mission to save a beautiful princess - a pretty typical storyline indeed. That's probably the only thing typical about this game - given its age, that is.

Dragon's Lair changed the way games were played when it hit the scene; controls were different, graphics were better, gameplay was more fluid - you name it, Dragon's Lair made it happen. Now all the 30-year-old cutting edge tech is available on your Android phone or tablet, with every last quirky cutscene and the original controls included.

Twisted Physics Game 'World Of Goo' Now Available In The Android Market

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Games, News

Last month, we got word that popular game World of Goo would be making its way to Android, and that day has finally arrived.

For those unfamiliar with the title, you command tiny living balls of goo, using them to build structures, bridges, and whatever else you can think of to achieve the end goal: reach the exit. This game is insanely popular on iOS, Windows, Mac, Linux, and Wii, and looks absolutely beautiful on Android. Take a peek at the trailer:

The obligatory screenshots:

The game will set you back $2.99, but if you want to give it a go before dropping any dough, there is also a free trial.
