Welcome to the weekly roundup of the best new Android applications, games, and live wallpapers that went live in the Market or were spotted by us in the previous 2 weeks or so.
This edition focuses only on new games. The app roundup is coming up soon, and you can find the tablet app roundup here.
Kairosoft's latest game, Pocket League, is an instant hit.
Asteroid Defense, Deonn Games' first foray into Android gaming, was an instant favorite of ours back in July. A tower defense genre is getting saturated, but Asteroid Defense managed to be sufficiently different from other tower defense games while offering excellent graphics and playability.
This week, Deonn Games released Asteroid Defense 2, which is a paid version with more enemies, explosions, guns, aliens, shrink rays, black holes, better graphics, and more game modes. Frankly, I think Asteroid Defense 2 should have really been Asteroid Defense, while Asteroid Defense should have been Asteroid Defense Beta, but I realize that it would have probably caused confusion now.
OnLive officially launched an innovative cloud-based gaming service at the Eurogamer Expo in London yesterday, making on-demand gameplay available to users throughout the UK.
The new service supports a vast array of devices including HDTVs, PCs, Macs, and (soon) Android and iPad tablets connected to "almost any" broadband connection.
As a special promotion of the service, BT, one of the UK's most popular broadband providers, is offering its customers three months of free access. Additionally, customers taking advantage of the promotion won't have to worry about going over their bandwidth allowance, as OnLive traffic will not count toward monthly limits until the new year.
If you're a fan of GAMEVIL and its lineup of pretty incredible game titles like the Zenonia series, then you'll be glad to know that it has released yet another RPG-style game into the Market today entitled Destinia.
In Destinia, you play the roll of an Imperial Guard member thrown in jail for defying an order to murder innocents. You're nursed back to health by the rebel princess Crystal, with whom you form an allegiance to overthrow the Empire. Yay!
The game has the familiar Gamevil look about it, offering visually stimulating graphics and special effects. Also in line with that familiar style, you'll find a rich and in-depth storyline and a wide range of character customization, including three classes, six subclasses, and thirty-nine skill trees.
Welcome to the weekly roundup of the best new Android applications, games, and live wallpapers that went live in the Market or were spotted by us in the previous 2 weeks or so.
This edition focuses only on new tablet apps or ones that added Honeycomb support. Regular apps and games are coming soon.
Can't ever have enough note-taking apps on tablets, right? I love the UI on this one - it's absolutely gorgeous.
Zynga, creators of the ever-popular Words With Friends, have just made Hanging With Friends available to Android users in the U.S. following its global release. The game is Zynga's twist on the children's game Hang Man, but it is not as gruesome as it sounds. The game features "cute characters in perilous situations," by which I mean adorable, doe-eyed cartoons hanging on to balloons suspended in mid-air over a pool of lava.
The game uses the familiar tile interface and scoring system from Words With Friends, and adds fun features such as lifelines and instant replays to add interest.
Gameloft, one of the biggest names in mobile gaming, is holding a back-to-school sale that cuts the prices of three of its most popular games for Android down to a manageable $0.99.
First in line for a price cut is Backstab HD, an action game with beautiful environments that's been compared to Uncharted and Assassin's Creed which had its debut in July.
Next is N.O.V.A. 2 HD, a sci-fi style FPS title first released back in June with highly detailed maps, multiplayer support, and a healthy amount of shooting action.
Asphalt 6: Adrenaline HD completes the list of price cuts, bringing single player and multiplayer racing action in a variety of worldwide locations and leagues to the palm of your hand.
Hexage has decided to update their popular retro-style Pacman-esque game EVAC (and EVAC HD) with some new levels and more importantly release it for free! Our esteemed editor reviewed the game some time back and he was particularly impressed by its "magical" soundtrack.
According to Droid Gamers, both versions of EVAC are completely free and contain no ads whatsoever. It seems as though Hexage has decided to adopt a freemium model whereby they will offer in-game purchases that can be used to pass difficult levels, extend the number of lives, and obtain longer lasting power-ups.
Infinite Dreams, the creators of such hits as Sky Force and Shoot The Birds, are famous for high quality and absolutely stunning graphics in their games. Their upcoming title, Jelly Defense, is no exception. Today, we have a sneak peak at the first official trailer of this newcomer to the Tower Defense genre with a few new twists (or should I say "twisters"?).
The game, featuring 20+ missions, 8 unique power-ups, and 10 tower types, will be available in the Android Market September 29th. And now, dive into the trailer to see all the gorgeous eye-candy that's coming your way (fast forward to about 1:50 for actual gameplay):
Gliwice, Poland – Infinite Dreams, award-winning mobile games publisher has released an official game trailer for Jelly Defense, an upcoming tower-defense game for iOS, Mac OS and Android devices.
