Pixel Twist for Android, a Fantastic Puzzle Game From Noodlecake Studios

I stumbled upon Pixel Twist just a bit ago in Google Play. So far, I’m really loving it. For a puzzle game, it isn’t all that hard, but what I do like is the concept. You’re given a bunch of random-looking pixels and an image that you need to match them up with. To make it look like the image, you have to twist or spin around the jumbled pixels until it matches. Allow me to use the word “nifty” for this one. You need to twist them as quickly as possible because you’re on a timer. The quicker you solve one, equals to how much time you have to solve the next one. (more…)

Gameloft’s Modern Combat 4 to Launch for Android Sometime After iOS, What Gives?!

[youtube]http://youtu.be/LAEHLePiCOM[/youtube]

Can’t win them all I guess. Today, Gameloft confirmed that their upcoming war-based masterpiece Modern Combat 4 will launch sometime shortly after it is released for iOS, on December 6. Naturally, they wouldn’t give any word on why we are being snubbed with this longer wait time, but I can only imagine it’s to give us some extra special features. Yeah, that will be the day, Tim.

You know what else we have to look forward to on December 6 though? That’s right, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City!

Zombie Evil for Android: Great Mix of Tower Defense and PvZ-style Strategy

Last night, while cruising through the up-and-coming games section in the Goole Play store, I noticed a rising entry called Zombie Evil and decided to give it a shot. After playing it for a few minutes, the only things I could think to compare it to were tower defense titles and Plants vs. Zombies. It’s a fantastic mix of the two, in that you have waves of bad guys that will overtake you unless you strategy is good enough. (more…)

Location Spoofer Helps Cave Trolls Play Ingress From the Comfort of Home (Update)

After admitting that I was a self-proclaimed cave troll on last night’s Droid Life Show, a reader sent in a tip that will help me and others like me to play Google’s Ingress game that relies on actually leaving the house and walking around. The app is called Location Spoofer, which will trick apps and the device into thinking you’re in whatever spot you want to be. Smart, right? (more…)

Predators On Sale For $0.99 Through Google Play, Austrian Oak Approved

This isn’t the first time we have brought up Predators, because frankly, it’s a total blast. For a limited time, the game is on sale through Google Play for only a dollar, instead of the usual $2. At this price, it’s a steal. What makes the game intriguing is that you don’t play as humans trying to escape or defend themselves. Instead, you play as the galaxy’s ultimate hunter (sorry, Governator), slaying prey and collecting trophies. (more…)
