good thread as i also just became an Android gamer. Frontline Commando is great, and Blood and Glory Legends is a must. Too bad a lot of the games are region-restricted, like i can see NOVA 3, Dead Space, and Mass Effect Infiltrator in the search bar, but hitting return brings no results. guess i need to move back "home" to play those...can't be a global person! only allowed to talk global, but not act global, right?

I try to post games that go free on the app store when they come up so watch this forum. With the OP's permission, I will PM him/her when I post stuff, if I remember :p

 

A lot of mobile gaming seems to be variations on the same theme. Runners (Temple Run), swiping/slashing (Fruit Ninja), and some point & click style games. Frankly, I think the touch interface is very limiting. Accelerometer-based games were fun for about 5 minutes until you realised they were just a novelty. On-screen controls are a joke. A D-pad on a screen is hopeless. For me, dedicated handhelds offer much more fun, if you are willing to pay for it. A lot of people aren't.

    • Microsoft kills AI-powered history search feature in Edge by Usama Jawad In June 2025, Microsoft began rolling out AI-powered history search functionality with Edge 138. The idea was simple: allow customers to use natural language phrases and synonyms to find their desired history items rather than matching keywords exactly. Although the company had already rolled out this capability in a phased manner, it has now decided to cancel it. In an update on its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has announced that it has decided not to move forward with AI-powered history search. The company has not detailed the exact reasoning behind this move, but it has apologized to customers for the inconvenience. The move is rather interesting as it seemingly could have improved user productivity. Edge users wouldn't have to worry about typos or exact keywords, and just focus on what they were trying to locate in their browser history. Microsoft had also assured users that an on-device AI model would be leveraged for this functionality, and no data would be sent to the cloud. IT admins also had the ability to control its availability through the EdgeHistoryAISearchEnabled policy. When the feature began rolling out last year, many of our readers called it creepy, noting that they couldn't trust Microsoft to keep their data on their device. Others also questioned its usefulness, saying that it's simply a way for Microsoft to insert more AI bloat into its products. Although the Redmond tech giant had stated that it will be more mindful about surfacing Copilot features in Windows 11 apps, we later discussed how this is mostly a rebranding exercise rather than an actual axing of AI functionalities. Indeed, a Microsoft executive later emphasized how they want to reshape Windows for the agentic AI era. That said, it does seem like at least AI-powered Edge history search isn't a part of that vision.
    • For you to jump on and defend your sweetheart? I agree, it didn't.
    • Not likely, of course, that we will see routine citizenship checks as they only involve compliance with existing federal voting laws already on the books for decades. This seems a non-issue entirely. Only fools would have the government rush headlong into an AI program few can understand or predict, or even debug...
