Angry Birds

You might have heard of this one. Throwing birds at pigs has never felt so normal.

Yes, it's a shameless Temple Run clone. But guess what? Agent Dash is better. There, we've said it.

Subway Surfers
By Kiloo Games - download on Android



Here's another slick Temple Run clone that some on the PG team think betters the source material. Suck it and see.

Temple Run 2
By Imangi Studios - download on Android



Imangi's response to all those accomplished clones is Temple Run 2. More of the same, yes, but bigger, slicker and more varied with it.

Tetris Free
By EA - download on Android



Possibly the only game on this list that's more recognisable than Angry Birds, this classic puzzler is as addictive as ever.

Evac HD

Take a little Pac-Man maze-running and imbue it with a more laid back, adventurous fell and you have Evac - a true overlooked gem.

By ustwo - download on Android



An irresistible endless runner starring the cutest flying whale your ever likely to meet, not to mention stellar production values.

Pocket Planes

A deceptively deep management sim that tasks you with running a bustling international airport. The 'cute' factor is - yes - sky high.

Gem Miner
By Psym Mobile - download on Android



Is there a more fun game about digging and mining for resources on Android? Not for free, there isn't.

Fruit Ninja Free
By Halfbrick Studios - download on Android



Fruit flies up, player swipes fruit with finger. Fruit splats on screen. Points scored. Gaming Nirvana achieved.

Gamevil's pretty 2D hack and slasher - with the developer's trademark RPG elements, of course - is an absolute hoot to play.

Abduction!
By Psym Mobile - download on Android



It's Doodle Jump, only with a cute cow instead of a.... doodley thing. Oh, and free.

Stick Cricket

Let's face it - cricket is inherently boring without copious amounts of alcohol. Stick Cricket, however, is good fun even when sober.

Remember when everyone and their funky grandmother was playing brain training games? Here's a decent one for your Android.

Coloroid

By Chicken Brick Studios - download on Android



Forget the exotic name and futuristic graphics - this is free online marbles. That's all you need to know.

Arguably the most varied Angry Birds of the lot. This event-themed collection of levels is the holiday gift that keeps on giving.

GRave Defense Holidays
By ArtOfBytess - download on Android

By Miniclip - download on Android



If Rovio can't seem to make new Angry Birds levels fast enough to feed your hunger, give Fragger a blast.

Air Control
By Four Pixels - download on Android



Why bother with Flight Control when there's this free alternative? Because Flight Control's better? Well, when you put it like that...

Draw Something Free
By OMGPOP - download on Android



It's not quite the super-fresh sensation it once was, but Draw Something still plays a mean game of massively multiplayer online Pictionary.

Super Stickman Golf
By Noodlecake Studios - download on Android



One of the most addictive games on Google Play, this stylised delight manages to make golf both cool and fun.

Pinball Deluxe

Another quirky gem of a game from Hexage, Robotek stirs in turn-based strategy, fruit machine and RPG elements - with tasty results.

The Simpsons Tapped Out
By EA - download on Android



Not everyone appreciates this kind of casual city builder, but when that city is Springfield your well-founded reservations may get swept aside.

It's not as good as Words With Friends, but Scramble With Friends offers more immediate multiplayer word-based thrills.

Meganoid
By OrangePixel - download on Android



This fabulous retro platformer is supremely accessible, but its exacting bite-size levels provide a seriously old skool challenge.

Jetpack Joyride
By Halfbrick Studios - download on Android



One of the best endless runners around - and now it's available for free. Download Jetpack Joyride now, you fools.

Dream House Days

Makes this list chiefly for being one of the only Kairosoft games available for free. And for being an awesome-fun life sim game, of course.

The game that really saw the Angry Birds franchise enter orbit - quite literally - and this writer's favourite. The last Angry Birds game on our list - promise.

Happy Jump

MWC 2013 - Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 officially in Q2


reznaf | 8:58 PM | , , , , ,

We've seen it leaked a few times, but Samsung has beaten the Mobile World Congress rush and officially unveiled the Galaxy Note 8.0. The device is basically a super-sized version of the Note 2 smartphone, right down to the physical home button (a first for Samsung's post-Android 3.0 tablets), call capability, and vertical orientation.
GALAXY Note 8.0_1  
The screen is an 8-inch 1280x800 panel, and it's unfortunately a TFT LCD - I had been hoping that they would make it Super AMOLED, and create a spiritual successor to the sadly underutilized Galaxy Tab 7.7. Naturally, you get the S-Pen and all of Samsung's custom TouchWiz applications on top of Android 4.1.2. Underneath the hood you get a beefy 1.6Ghz Exynos A9 quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 16 or 32GB of storage, and an open MicroSD card slot. The rear camera is a serviceable 5 megapixels, with a typical 1.3MP front shooter. The 4600mAh battery should provide plenty of runtime.
The smartphone-style hardware has proven divisive - the thing looks like someone took a rolling pin to the later generation of Galaxy smartphones. At the moment an HSPA+ version is confirmed for an international release with phone capabilities in some territories, but a WiFi version should be coming at launch or soon after.
A worldwide release is scheduled for the second quarter of this year, though Samsung informs us that distribution in the United States has not been finalized. At the time of writing, there is no price information available.
Update: you can get a few fleeting glances of the Note 8.0 in Samsung's ChatOn 2.0 commercial (featuring 100% more Camille Saint-Saens than ChatOn 1.0!), below.

PRESS:
SEOUL, Korea [February 24, 2011] – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, a global leader in digital media and digital convergence technologies, today announced the launch of the 8 inch tablet, the GALAXY Note 8.0; a new era of intelligent Note technology set to re-ignite the mid-size tablet category that Samsung established in 2010. Providing unrivalled multimedia performance within a compact one-hand-grip screen, the GALAXY Note 8.0 has the power and advanced technology to evolve the tablet experience and ensure you achieve new levels of efficient multi-tasking while benefitting from superb voice call functionality*. Furthermore, the intelligent S Pen brings together the latest innovation and the ease of using a traditional pen and paper; creating a sophisticated mobile experience that will enhance life on the go.
“Back in 2010 the launch of the first Samsung GALAXY Tab with 7 inch screen opened a new chapter in the mobile industry. Now almost three years later, Samsung continues to evolve the sector that meets the demands of modern life.” said JK Shin, President of the IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung Electronics.
“The GALAXY Note 8.0 breaths fresh life into the category as it delivers the perfect fusion of portability and everyday productivity - the result is a pioneering, pocket-sized solution that enhances and enriches our everyday lives, whether at work or play,” added Shin.
At the core of the GALAXY Note 8.0’s innovative solutions are beneficial functions, including multi-window options to split the portable 8inch screen and allow optimal access to a number of live applications; a new generation of Samsung’s intelligent S Pen with advanced usability; access to a suite of S Note templates and tools that allow you to create, edit, manage and share everyday documents; the Samsung “reading mode” technology to enjoy e books with optimized resolution, video and voice calls*. In addition, a suite of exciting new content and services are pre-loaded for users at no additional cost including, for the very first time on Samsung GALAXY tablet, the innovative Flipboard, and Awesome Note.
A smart diary for life on the go
Slim and compact enough to become the perfect on-the-go work and play companion, the GALAXY Note 8.0 brings powerful performance and functionality to support even the most demanding of lifestyles. Designed to store and manage your personal and professional data efficiently, the new era device gives users the perfect pocket-sized hands-on organizational tool. Practical S Note templates and S Planner feature help to manage everyday tasks, including meeting notes, to-do lists and even personal diary entries. All content can be entered and updated with the finest of detail thanks to the evolution of the intelligent Samsung S Pen. Enhanced precision is offered with Handwriting-to-Text conversion and advanced Productivity Tools that support formula and shape recognition are now available at the touch of your S Pen.
New content and services
GALAXY Note 8.0 is packed with pre-loaded content and apps specifically for the value maximizing, mass multimedia consumer. Upgraded Chat-On provides easy instant messaging and group chatting in multiple formats – images, video, voice, contacts – for simple, enjoyable communication. Awesome Note, an integrated application that is introduced in android tablet for the first time with NOTE 8.0, is capable of unlimited note-taking uses including Memo, Diary and Must-remember lists. With Flipboard, your news, social network and other feeds come together in one stylish, flippable format so you can enjoy all your news and life’s great moments in one place. Flipboard developed a customized version of its application exclusively for Samsung that allows users to take the S Pen’s hover feature and preview article headers beneath Flipboard's main screen tiles. Finally, Smart Remote, gives you a universal remote control and electronic programming guide allowing you to manage TV and video watching seamlessly.
A new age of S Pen intelligence
Optimized to aid personalized creativity, the Samsung S Pen has evolved to increase everyday usability and enhance creation expression. Embedded within the tablet, the S Pen is an extension of the GALAXY Note 8.0. Removing the S Pen from the device will automatically launch innovative features such as Pen Detection that will suggest adapted menus that it thinks you’ll need and Page Buddy, a feature that will intuitively activate your most recently adapted S Note home screen.
S Pen technology is now so advanced that it doesn’t even have to touch the screen. With Air View, the S Pen needs only to hover over the screen to see previews of videos, emails, photos and appointments on SPlanner without opening the file or application in full. S Pen Gesture allows images and content to be easily edited and cropped, whilst Paper Artist and Photo Note allow photos to be artistically personalized.
In addition, for the very first time in GALAXY NOTE category, you can use S Pen to control the physical menu/back buttons on the device with WACOM technology.
Maximizing mass multimedia consumption
Creative multi-tasking with the GALAXY Note 8.0 is effortless due to innovative Dual View feature, two multi window options that seamlessly allow you to facilitate multi-screen usage. Dual View’s split screen accommodates optimal operation of different apps, such as launching the S Note on the web browser screen and allowing content to be resized, dragged and dropped as required.
Multi-tasking is extended to phone calls*. Pop Up Note allows you to access S Note at any time to keep track of key actions and Pop Up Video ensures you can keep surfing the web whilst chatting – content windows can be easily resized by pinching to enlarge or reduce.
Perfect info-tainment partner
Packed with features to engage, entertain and excite, the GALAXY Note 8.0 supports your practical everyday needs. Reading Mode transforms the GALAXY Note 8.0 into an e-Book reader, provides the optimal reading conditions to ensure you can curl up and enjoy a good book. You can even turn it into a universal remote control with Smart Remote, to seamlessly manage TVs, set-up boxes, DVD & Blu-ray players.

MANOS: The Hands of Fate v1.0


reznaf | 10:02 PM | , , , ,


Description: DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES, OR WILL YOUR POWER FAIL YOU??
"This game will be bigger than Skyrim!” - Bill Corbett, Rifftrax/MST3K
WARNING: This is REAL retro gaming! Be prepared for vast, unique levels with challenging boss battles!
MANOS is an homage to the great games you remember from your childhood! Remember how every film and cartoon had it's own platform game adaptation? When every man, woman, child, animal and inanimate object were out to get your character? When the streets were filled with bats, ghosts and Frankenstein monsters? MANOS will take you back to the fantastically absurd games of the past!
Lost on their vacation, Mike and his family have wandered the desert trying to find a place to stay, only to wind up in the haunted Valley Lodge. Maintained by Torgo, an unusual man/satyr who "takes care of the place while The Master is away", the hotel is swimming with paranormal activity which Mike has to brave through to find his now missing family. Who is The Master, and what does he want with Mike's family? Armed with his trusty revolver, Mike will have to wander the haunted halls, venture out into the desert, uncover a dark temple and battle the forces of darkness to find out!
- Huge levels with boss battles at the end of each!
- True classic gameplay!
- 100% authentic retro style!
MANOS pays homage simultaneously to the worst movies of all time and some of the best games. The gameplay will remind you of CastleVania, Mega Man, Super Mario Bros. and more.
