[New Game] Demolition Inc. THD Brings Destructive Physics To Tegra Devices In One Massive Download

Posted by in Games, News

After wrecking Earth on the PC last year and teasing us back in February, Demolition Inc. has arrived on Android by way of Nvidia's Tegra Zone. That means you're going to need a Tegra 2 or 3 device to enjoy the detailed graphics and realistic physics in this action/strategy title, at least for now.

The game is essentially a well-implemented physics simulator that has you taking a city apart piece by piece so its raw materials can be harvested. You see, Mike the UFO-driving demolition man is just a working Joe from another planet, and when the work order says to knock down a planet, that's what he does.

ZTE Intros The Android 4.0-Powered Mimosa X, The First Smartphone To Incorporate NVIDIA's Icera Modem Alongside The Tegra 2 Processor

Posted by in Mimosa X, News

ZTE, alongside NVIDIA, announced today the upcoming Mimosa X, the world's first smartphone to reap the benefits of NVIDIA's purchase of chipmaker Icera.

The Mimosa X is powered by NIVDIA from front-to-back thanks to the Tegra 2 and Icera450 processor/modem combo, and will intro as a good solid offering for anyone looking at the mid-range market:

  • 4.3-inch qHD (960*540) display
  • 1GHz Tegra 2 processor
  • 5MP rear camera
  • Front camera (resolution not detailed)
  • 450 HSPA+ 28Mbps Icera quad-band modem
  • Android 4.0

Yes, that Gingerbread in the pic. The Mimosa X will be running ICS at release, however.

The Mimosa X is set to launch sometimes in Q2 2012, but global availability and price have yet to be determined.

Sonic The Hedgehog 4, Episode 2 Coming To The Android Market And Tegra Zone Next Year

Posted by in Games, News

Who's ready for some old-school gaming action? If not, you better get ready - Sonic the Hedgehog and his homie Tails are making their way to Tegra-powered devices in 2012 for a sequel to the 2010 hit Sonic the Hedgehog 4, Episode 1 (which, unfortunately, is not available on Android).

Episode 2 will bring some enhanced features over its predecessor, including a completely redesigned physics engine, new character animations, and, most importantly (to us, that is), the arrival on the Android platform. The game will be featured in NVIDIA's Tegra Zone for Tegra 2 processors, and the Sonic team is also working closely with the Tegra team to bring a Tegra 3 optimized version shortly after.

Game Review: Shadowgun Is The Most Advanced Shooter On Android To Date, And It's Out Now

Posted by in Games, Reviews

Be sure to check out our Shadowgun Giveaway pack post, too - you could win an Galaxy Tab 8.9, a Jambox, and a $25 AMEX gift card!

Shadowgun is a game we've been following since its announcement for Android earlier this year. A couple weeks back, we received a preview build to test the game out (that link contains a gameplay video as well). Now, I've played the full version of the game and can report my findings more completely.

My conclusion? Shadowgun takes Android gaming to the next level, and while it's not without its flaws, it sets the bar very high for the somewhat low $5 game price point.

Last Updated: November 23rd, 2011

After your (possibly over-) enthusiastic response (I kid, I kid; we appreciate your high spirits) to our last giveaway, we decided it would only be appropriate to allow two more readers the chance to win an ASUS Eee Pad Slider. That's right: NVIDIA, in its seemingly infinite awesomeness, has once again been generous enough to sponsor a giveaway of not one, but two 16GB white ASUS Eee Pad Sliders, both powered by a 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor and fueled by a wide variety of games from the Tegra Zone.

The Slider, for those with less-than-ideal memories, is the keyboard-tablet hybrid we reviewed just a few weeks ago.
