[NEW GAME] Dragons vs. Unicorns

Dragons vs. Unicorns’ single player mode is an action defensive mode where players take charge of the Unicorn and defend the adorable baby unicornlings hatched from the nests. The goal is to protect the unicorn eggs and nests from the Dragon Minions as waves and waves of Dragon Minions approach in each successive level!  Players will earn points for hatching unicorns and gold for killing minions.

Protecting the precious unicorn eggs aren’t the only task players are charged with, they must also protect the cute and cuddly bunnies that hop from the opposite side of the field to sit on top of the unicornling eggs for incubation.  Since the unicorn has made a pact with all things cute, players have the advantage of sending the cuddly hedgehog -- who bows to the unicorns every move - flying across the field like a boomerang mowing down anything in its path! 

In this action-packed game, players can collect ability orbs from enemy kills to command powerful elements; like the Happy Sun Beam that fries multiple enemies on the screen all at once.  Master the high score leaderboards, and earn gold and cupcakes to spend in the Dragons vs. Unicorns store for defensive and offensive upgrades and new abilities!

Minecraft Pocket Edition updated. Include: tons of new blocks, flying in Creative mode

Great news Minecraft players on mobile devices, the long-awaited Survival mode for the game is finally here! Mojang has just pushed out a new update for Minecraft – Pocket Edition that introduces a host of brand new features, bringing it one step closer to the desktop version of the game. The most notable addition is Survival mode that introduces other sheep and zombies into the game. Users now get to hunt for food and flee or fight zombies in the game instead of just building structures aimlessly, expect more creatures to be introduced in the future.

 Other new features include: tons of new blocks, flying in Creative mode, day and night in Survival mode (monsters come at night), the ability to gather resources from nature, and tools for different purposes (digging, attacking, shearing). Minecraft just got a lot more exciting. The update is currently available for Android devices, while the iOS version is awaiting App Store approval.

Mass Effect Infiltrator preview

Mass Effect Infiltrator is yet another part of the growing transmedia portfolio for BioWare's space IP. Don't write off Infiltrator as a simple cash-in on EA's part, however. The upcoming third-person shooter for iOS and Android devices offers much more than a gimmicky connection to Mass Effect 3. In fact, it might serve as a blueprint for future third-person shooters on touch platforms.

 Why are we so optimistic about Infiltrator's potential? It's being developed by IronMonkey Studios, the same team that helmed the official iPad Game of the Year--Dead Space. Mass Effect Infiltrator replicates the highly regarded controls of the mobile adaptation of Dead Space. Instead of having to focus your fingers on a specific spot on the touch screen, each half of the screen can be used as an "analog stick." Infiltrator expands upon this system by adding a streamlined cover mechanic to the mix.

Add in the ability to switch weapons and use various biotic abilities, Infiltrator certainly looks like a Mass Effect game, making it a far more ambitious project than Mass Effect's previous iOS spin-off, Mass Effect Galaxy. Players take control of Randall Esno, a scarred Cerberus operative that acts as an "infiltrator" for the shadowy organization.

This standalone adventure doesn't tie into Shepard's story, but as in Mass Effect 2, he'll find out that Cerberus "isn't doing all the good things they say they are doing." Along his adventure, he'll encounter "intel," which can be uploaded to your Mass Effect 3 save. This is just one way to increase your "Galactic Readiness" level--and offers a way for you to work your way towards the best ending, even when you're away from your console.

 This connection to Mass Effect 3 is likely the key reason why fans will drop cash to buy the app. But, the game does appear to hold up on its own merits. We weren't able to get hands-on time, but a lengthy presentation showed off more "arcadey" battles, thanks to an emphasis on combos and battling "stylishly." Taking down an enemy will activate a brief slow-mo period, which will let you try and take down another enemy for a combo. You're encouraged to switch weapons and use different biotic attacks to increase a style meter.

For example, you might want to levitate an enemy, shoot him down with an assault rifle, switch to a sniper rifle and headshot a far enemy, and then run and take cover and blast someone with a shotgun. Via Shacknews

The average Spacetime player clocks up just over 25 hours a month.

"With each launch of a Legends title we make it our mission to innovate and it has become the largest, most successful mobile MMO franchise in the world." Via PocketGamer

Pac-Man reborn into a match-3 game from Namco Bandai called Pac-Chomp!

Our dot eating overload Pac-Man has been reborn by Namco Bandai into a new game now available on the Android Market called Pac-Chomp!. This particular game is actually a match-3 puzzle title where you need to match three or more of the same colored ghost to eliminate them. That isn't all though. While Pac-Chomp! at its core is a match-3 puzzle game, Namco Bandai did include some of the Pac-Man game mechanics into it to make a bit of a hybrid puzzle game.

You can rotate the playing field to help match up three or more of the same ghosts as well as moving Pac-Man around the board. He can also eat various power up pellets like the Power Pellet which will turn all the ghosts blue just like in the actual Pac-Man games.
Features:
- NORMAL MODE: In NORMAL mode eliminate pesky GHOSTS to fill up the time gauge and clear each level.
- HARD CORE MODE: In HARD CORE mode the gauge empties faster than NORMAL mode, resulting in an action-packed race against time.
- SCRAMBLE MODE: In SCRAMBLE mode rush frantically to build up your score as high as possible within the time limit!
- Match 3 or more GHOSTS of the same color to make them disappear. - Match 4 GHOSTS to make an item appear, or 5 GHOSTS to make a POWER PELLET appear.
- A bonus stage is triggered when PAC-MAN gobbles up a POWER PELLET.
- Eliminate several sets of GHOSTS in a row to score combos.
- You can use the ROTATE button at the bottom of the screen to rotate a 5 x 5 area 90 degrees to the right.
This game is an interesting puzzle game since it combines some of the classic Pac-Man mechanics and ideas into a match-3 puzzle game.
For those of you who are Pac-Man fans, this might be a welcomed addition to the franchise while people who enjoy match-3 puzzle games have another titles to work their way through.

[UPCOMING GAME] Dungeon Hunter 3 Coming to Android Next Month

While Dungeon Hunter 3 has been available for iOS for quite a bit, Android hasn’t seen much love at all. We won’t have to wait long for the third installment into this mobile RPG series. Gameloft has tweeted that Dungeon Hunter 3 will be coming to Android sometime next month. It seems a bit far away since we’re still in the earlier parts of February but it’ll be no time before it’s in the market.

The game will feature 16 dungeons to start with all of the features you’d expect from the first two. We might even get multiplayer when it launches as the iOS version is due to get an upgrade for that next month, as well. If that isn’t available at launch we have no reason to be it won’t be available shortly after.
