The Bears are very hungry, but so are the Trolls. That’s the premise behind a new Android game from Frozax Games called Don’t Feed the Trolls which lets you fed some friendly bears while putting the smack down on groups of nasty trolls.

Take out Hordes of Dragons in Damn you Dragons! for Android

Dragons are known for a lot of things, like kidnapping princesses, breathing fire and eating people. Damn you Dragons! That’s not my sentiment towards the creatures, it’s actually the name of a new Android game from VisionaryX the same folks that put out a very popular game called A Knights Dawn.

The wait is finally over for all you Samsung fans out there (myself included) as the Galaxy 3 has finally arrived. Today Samsung introduced the world to their new super phone, but that wasn’t all Samsung had up its sleeve at the Samsung Mobile Unpacked 2012 event…

Samsung’s event started off a little as as we got treated with Muzak and floating bubbles which didn’t necessarily get me “hyped up” while I was waiting. At 2:04 things kicked off with a video presentation unveiling the phone with a mini-orchestra playing in the background. Nice close ups of the orchestra, people blowing bubbles, and some pigeons. After about 3 minutes of video montages JK Shin hit the stage, explained why the phone is so bad assed, and we finally got to see the phone and hear its actual name… The Samsung Galaxy S3.  Here’s a brief rundown of what we …

Platform games have been around forever, and the genre is a personal favorite of mine. There are scores of new platform games released every month, but some are better than others. With that in mind we came up with a list of 5 new platform games you should be playing…

1. Gunman Clive

 There aren’t many western themed android games out there, but Gunman Clive is a great new one from Bertil Hörberg. You get to jump & shoot your way through 16 unique levels, and take on various bosses along the way. The game has a very cool sketched look to it which fits it perfectly and sets it apart from any other platformer I’ve played. It’s really one of those games you’ll just have to play to believe. There isn’t a free version available, but the full version is well worth the $1.99 price tag.

Gameloft Releases The Avengers Mobile Game for Android

Well we knew an Avengers game was coming from Gameloft, and it looks like it’s finally here. The Avengers the Mobile Game is live on Gameloft’s website, and it’s not quite was I was expecting as they went old school instead of new school.

The Avengers lets you play as different members of the team including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and the Incredible Hulk. It follows the events of the upcoming movie and lets you take on Loki in richly detailed environments (their words not mine) with exciting gameplay based on an extensive battle system. There game has two modes of play with Campaign and Mission mode, but I’m unsure how many levels there at this time. We’ve seen several movie tie-in games, and Gameloft really knocked it out of the park with TinTin so how does The Avengers look? Well, as you can see from the screenshots they …
