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.

    • Online didn't launch until October of 2013. So no one could play it. Even then there were issues.
    • Google Finance is now out of beta with improved portfolio tracking and a new Android app by Karthik Mudaliar Google is taking its redesigned Google Finance experience out of beta and adding several new features, including portfolio tracking, scheduled market briefings, and a dedicated Android app. The company says the updates are beginning to roll out globally this week, while an iOS app is planned for later in 2026. The most notable addition is the new portfolio feature. Instead of entering every investment manually, users can upload a screenshot, CSV file, or PDF containing their holdings. They can also tell Google Finance what they own using natural language, such as the number of shares held in a particular company or fund. Google Finance will then place those investments into a dashboard showing performance, asset allocation, concentration risk, and the holdings responsible for the biggest gains or losses. Existing portfolios created with the older version of Google Finance should appear automatically. The built-in AI research panel can use the portfolio as context when answering questions. For example, users can ask which sectors are underrepresented or how their fixed-income allocation could affect long-term growth. Google says portfolio data will remain private and that uploaded files and images will not be retained. Users will also be able to edit or delete their portfolio information after it has been imported. Google Finance is also getting scheduled tasks. These let users request recurring reports such as a daily summary of overnight cryptocurrency movements or a weekly update about newly announced initial public offerings. There is also a new Google Finance app for Android. It includes watchlists, interactive charts, real-time market data, a live news feed, and the same AI research panel available on the web. Google has been gradually expanding the AI-powered Finance redesign since it first entered testing. In April, the experience was expanded to more than 100 countries, bringing its research tools, advanced charts, and market news to a much larger audience. That was followed by a wider European rollout in May, which added features including live earnings calls, transcripts, and AI-generated summaries. The ability to import an entire portfolio from a screenshot or document should make Google Finance considerably easier to set up. However, Android users will have to wait for feature parity with the web version, and Google has yet to say exactly when the iOS app will arrive.
