Welcome back to our regular column?Android Gaming Weekly, where we recap all the new releases and highlights every Wednesday. We post small bits throughout the week related to Android games, but readers have requested a condensed summary that makes it easier to keep up with all the latest news. Read on for this week?s best in Android gaming.
New Games This Week
Zombro
I smell a sleeper hit. ?Zombro is a puzzle game with a simple goal: Detach Zombro?s basic elements (torso, legs, and braiiiiiinnz) to jump, dodge, and roll while making sure he finishes each level in one piece!? The game features 50 puzzles, 30 items to collect, and you can outfit Zombro in cool gear (plus customize his brain).
JAZZ: Trump?s Journey
We are in New Orleans this week for CTIA Wireless, so I thought it was appropriate to share a game about Jazz music. ?My name is Trump and I?m a jazz man, and this is my story.? This unique platform game?parallels with the real story of Louis Armstrong and follows the birth of jazz.
Ricky Carmichael?s Motorcross
?Ricky Carmichael Motocross Matchup Pro is an all-new racing game where it?s just you against online competitors from around the globe! This includes the chance to bang bars with some the of best in the business, including Ricky Carmichael himself!?
SAS: Zombie Assault 3
Based on the popular flash game by Ninja Kiwi, but completely rebuilt and optimized for Android, SAS: Zombie Assault 3 offers?4 player co-op multiplayer for free. Need I say more?
Ninja Chicken Ooga Booga
Lots of people like Oven Break last week and this title appears to offer similar gameplay. ?Still on a mission to be the best ninja ever, our funky-chicken-who-thinks-he-is-a-ninja has broken free from the farm and into the wilderness!?
Destiny Defense: Angel or Devil
?Destiny Defense: Angel or Devil is the addictive action-strategy defense game with a variety of attack systems and 2 unique storylines. By choosing each side, Angel or Devil, you will be able to feel double thrill and fun as you go through different game plays.?
Zombie Granny
?Zombie Granny is an addictively fun puzzle game that combines zany characters, dazzling animated effects of destruction, and tricky mechanical puzzles for a ghoulishly entertaining good time!?
Android Games Coming Soon
Men in Black 3
Men in Black hits theaters May 25th and Gameloft has a new Android game to coincide with the release. This week they released a teaser video which shows a brief preview, but doesn?t provide many details on the gameplay. Look for Men in Black 3 to debut as a freemium game.
N.O.V.A. 3
Another day, another N.O.V.A. 3 teaser video. This time we get a look at some of the solo mission action. No release date has been given yet, but we expect it to land on select Android devices later this month.
Frontline Commando 2.0
Glu Mobile?s Frontline Commando has already been downloaded over 5 million times, and now they are gearing up to release version 2.0. The latest update should add several new levels, include new powerups, and end with a massive boss battle.
Asphalt 7: Heat
Last week at the Samsung Mobile Unpacked event, Asphalt 7 was briefly teased. This is Gameloft?s most popular racing game, so we have high hopes for the latest chapter in the series. We don?t have many details on the game yet, but we could know more when Samsung releases the Galaxy S III around May 29th.
Max Payne Mobile
Rockstar Games keeps pushing back the release date of Max Payne Mobile for Android, but tomorrow could be the big day. We heard a rumor it could come out at midnight, but Rockstar Games has been quiet on the matter. If you really want this game then check the Google Play store late tonight, but don?t be surprised if it was delayed again.
Games I?m currently playing
Dance Legend: This game came out last month, but I finally took the time to sit down and play it for awhile. I?m not a dancer, but I have always enjoyed music games and Dance Legend was a real blast to play. The game is free and includes several songs to get you started, but additional song packs will cost you money.
NBA Jam: EA Mobile finally updated NBA Jam to support more devices and I?ve been playing it non-stop the last couple days. The controls translate pretty well to a phone or tablet, and it?s just as fun as I remember when I was a little kid. I?m currently playing through the campaign mode trying to defeat every team and unlock big head mode. We are crossing our fingers that EA will eventually add an online multiplayer mode.
