Gameloft's Blitz Brigade Hits The Play Store, Brings Team Fortress 2-Like Gameplay To Mobile

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Games, News

We first caught a glimpse of Gameloft's Team Fortress 2 clone Blitz Brigade back in late January. If you've been chomping at the bit to get in on the action since then, the day has finally arrived: BB is now live in the Play Store.

The game was only published this morning, but it already has an unprecedented 450+ (mostly positive) ratings in the store – a true testament to the excitement surrounding the title.

Blitz Brigade features online multiplayer gameplay with up to 12 players at once, with five classes of character to choose from: soldier, gunner, medic, sniper, and stealth.

[New Game] Crumble Zone - A Beautiful, Colorful, Space Shooting, Alien Loving, Game - Arrives On Android

Posted by John Thompson in Games, News

Crumble Zone has all the ingredients for a great action arcade game. Aliens? Check. Guns? Check. Great artwork? Check. Best of all, it just came out on Android and it's free!

So here's the deal: you're the alien, naturally, and you have to shoot down a load of meteorites and asteroids whilst rotating around a planet that you're trying to save. The more space rock you destroy, the higher your score.

Despite the simple premise, the game promises to keep you playing until your battery has run dry. If the graphics don't get your attention (they probably will), you'll still be busy beating your score or playing multiplayer mode, so if you tend to procrastinate a lot then watch out.

[New Game] EMERGENCY Released For Android: Now You Can Fight Terrorists And Meteors From The Comfort Of Your Own Smartphone

Posted by John Thompson in Games, News

We may have managed to survive 2012 without the world coming to an end, but you can't really say the same for the poor folks in 'EMERGENCY'.

Gamers on iOS have been able to battle against plane crashes, train crashes, meteor impacts and terrorists for a while now, and the popular game has finally made its way over to the Play Store to allow Android users to get in on the action as well.

As Head of Operations, EMERGENCY throws 13 disaster scenarios at you, each of which you must fight during missions, with 18 units at your disposal. The game has already topped the charts on the iOS App Store, so it will be interesting to see how it fares on Android with the $3.99 price tag.

[New Game] From The Makers Of Galcon, Dynamite Jack Blasts Into The Play Store

Posted by Ryan Whitwam in Apps/Games, Games, News

When you're a space marine, getting captured by aliens is a real drag. You don't get to shoot stuff and you have to slave away in the anathema mines! In Dynamite Jack, you get to bust out of the mines with just a flashlight and an ample supply of bombs. This is a top-down 2D action game, but there's a prominent stealth component that looks very cool.

There are 28 official levels to complete in Dynamite Jack filled with guards, robots, and other hazards. You have to avoid detection while taking out threats with carefully-placed bombs. Once you finish the included levels, there is almost unlimited gameplay potential thanks to the level editor.

[New Game] Tupsu Is A Sticky, Furry, Free Physics Puzzler That's More Fun Than This Title Makes It Sound

Posted by Ryan Whitwam in Apps/Games, Games, News

Whatever you have planned this evening, I suggest you clear some time in your busy schedule to play a little Tupsu. What is Tupsu? It's a physics-based puzzler that you can play on your Android device, and you can leave the (Google) wallet in your (virtual) pocket – Tupsu is totally free.

Tupsu (the thing, not the game) is a furry little ball with sticky eyes on long flexible stalks. This title has a World of Goo style of gameplay. You have to drag the sticky eyes over to platforms, where the elastic action will pull the creature along.

Disney's 'Wreck-It Ralph' Game Goes Official In Google Play, Lets You Play The Bad Guy Gone Good

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Games, News

Wreck-It Ralph's a nice guy. But he's also a bad guy. So he's a bad nice guy. Or a nice bad guy. Either way, he's tired of being a bad guy, so he wants to be a nice good guy. But in the world of video games, every action title needs an antagonist. And that's Ralph's job - until he abandons his game to search for a new place where he doesn't have to be a bad guy.

That, of course, is the premise of Disney's new movie Wreck-it Ralph. And now, you can get in on the action with a new game of the same name that just hit the Play Store.

[New Game] Grab Your Boomstick - Army Of Darkness: Defense For Android Is Here

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Games, News

Fact: the Evil Dead trilogy is one of the greatest pieces of cinematic horror ever created. There is no arguing it. And now, you can live all the fantastic, undead awesomeness of the final film, Army of Darkness, on your mobile. I'll give you a minute to soak up what you just read.

Army of Darkness: Defense is available on Android courtesy of Backflip Studios. In the game, you play the role of Ash (!) - complete with chainsaw arm and boomstick - and fight the undead masses to protect the Necronomicon and Lord Arthur's castle. You don't have to do it alone, however - there are plenty of allies ready to fight by your side at a moment's notice, including various swordsmen, knights, archers, Duke Henry the Red, and even Lord Arthur himself.

[New Game] Tower Raiders 3 Beta Hits The Play Store, Looks Amazing

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Games, News

If you're a fan of tower defense games, then you've probably played one of the first two Tower Raiders (or both). You probably also know what a saturated market the TD scene is. So, what's a title like TR to do to stand out in the crowd? Create a completely immersive environment - that's what.

I have to say it looks pretty amazing, and I'm not even a big fan of TD games. This one throws a few new elements into the mix, especially for those who have played previous editions of Tower Raiders. For starters, the environments ditch the mostly top-down look for a unique 3D world.

[New Game] OrangePixel Releases Meganoid 2 For Android

Posted by David Ruddock in Games, News

If you're not familiar with the 8-bit adventures developed by OrangePixel (see some of our past coverage here, and here), you should probably check them out. Their latest and greatest, Meganoid 2 - the sequel to their most popular title, Meganoid - just hit the Play Store.

Meganoid is inspired by the ultra-difficult (and ultra-fun) platformers on the 1980's and 90's. And yes, it's supposed to look like that. Meganoid 2 will certainly provide hours of fun and frustration, and is a great pick-up game for killing time. It comes in both free (ad-supported) and paid versions, but given that the paid version is just a buck, it's not like OrangePixel's asking a lot.
