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.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
