[New Game] Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack! Finally Makes Its Way To Android - Drop More Than One Type Of Bomb While On The Toilet

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Games, News

We first told you about Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack! back in July, and now, just two months later, it has officially landed in the Android Market.

Kamikaze Attack is a new take on a the cult classic action from the old school Serious Sam, putting you in the shoes of Sam's mortal enemy, The Headless Kamikaze. You'll blast, kick, and whatever else your way through 40 insane levels trying to rid the world of Sam once and for all.

^{Is it me, or is that iPhone overly-big? I guess it's possible that the guy just has really tiny hands. I'd like to see him hold a BK double cheeseburger.}

[Game Review] Gravity Wins Brings Connect Four To Android With A Twist

Posted by John Thompson in Game Reviews, Games

Believe it or not, Connect Four was originally released in February of 1974, which makes it 37 years old. In that time, it's seen some minor updates and variations, but it mostly remains the same game that it was all those years ago with a plastic grid and some colored tokens.

Fast forward a decade or four, and the old classic seems to have been somewhat re-imagined and brought into the 21st century thanks to an Android game called Gravity Wins.

There are two versions of Gravity Wins: a free, ad-supported version, and a paid, ad-free version. The game is identical on both, so as long as you don't mind an ad at the bottom of your screen whilst you're playing, you can save yourself a buck.

Latest Game In Kairosoft's Story Series, Pocket League Story, Now Available

Posted by Nate Kimmey in Games, News

Kairosoft has already had you managing a race car team, a Japanese inn, and a game development studio, but their latest game, Pocket League Story, will have you training your own soccer team.

Much like the other Story games, Pocket League Story allows for total control of your team, from picking and training players, to building gyms and stadiums, and even selling merchandise. If you're already a fan of the genre, you'll probably want to pick this up in the Android Market for the usual cost of $5.18.

[New Game] Space Invaders Infinity Gene Is Like Classic Space Invaders With An Added Dose Of Awesome

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Games, News

Everyone has played the original Space Invaders at one point or another -- scrolling back and forth, trying to eliminate each and every menacing insect-like alien floating above you. Imagine that, now add in steroids and speed, and the end result would be something similar to Space Invaders Infinity Gene. Just take a look at the gameplay trailer:

The biggest feature in Infinity Genre is its "the more you play, the more it evolves" styling, so it's an always-changing environment. Of course, gameplay this intense comes at a price -- $7.81, to be exact. While this is most definitely a bit on the high-end, there's no denying that it's a well made take on an old classic.

[New Game Review] Sentinel 3 Elevates Tower Defense Gaming To A New Level With Stunning Environments And Numerous Weapons

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Game Reviews, Games

Yesterday, we announced Sentinel 3: Homeworld by Origin8 which hit the Android market as the third game in a very popular tower defense series, and the first installment to be available for Android. Normally I am not too excited about games of this genre, but I can honestly say that Sentinel 3 has impressed me both in terms of gameplay experience and sheer visual interest, thanks to the cleanly styled environments, visual effects, and smooth animation.

Sentinel 3 has three gameplay modes: campaign, endless, and classic. Each of them is a little different, and they each have their own merits. Before discussing these however we should talk about a few basics.

[New Game] Sentinel 3: Homeworld Is An Insane Orgy Of Tower Defense Madness

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Games, News

In a trip over from the iOS world, developer Origin8 Technologies brings us the most graphically intense, visually-stimulating tower defense game that we've ever seen. Before I even attempt to put into words the insanity that this game will bring into your life, take a look at the gameplay, complete with a super-sick dubstep soundtrack:

^{Speaking of dubstep -- anyone know the name of this track?}

Update: We found the song (thanks, Denis!), but we still don't know what it's called. Download it here in high quality.

The game features 20 in-your-face levels, a commander unit which levels up and gains new abilities as you play, a massive array of weapons, including turrets, orbital ship weapons, and automated drones; customizable weapons, endless mode, OpenFeint leaderboards and achievements, and an exclusive soundtrack by Specimen A -- all accompanied by some of the sleekest graphics that we've ever laid eyes on.

From The Makers Of Guerrilla Bob: Muffin Knight Released In The Android Market

Posted by Aaron Gingrich in Games, News

When our former man Will Shanklin played Guerrilla Bob, he came away very impressed - enough so that he highly recommended it. Fast forward a few months, and the studio behind it, Angry Mob Games, is back with what looks to be another instant classic: Muffin Knight. Take a look:

The story:

Fertilize the forest with the unicorn, cover the sky with black holes, flood the world with candy, but just get the muffins back!
Muffin Knight is an action-packed platformer with stunning visuals and a myriad of fairytale characters, each with their own unique abilities, which gain strength as you advance.
