You want em, we got em. No, no. Not Samsung Galaxy Nexus devices, but instead applications to make your Android device even more fun than it already is. Jump past the break as we take another look at some of our favorites from this week. Chris Parsons - TubeMate (Free) While I'm sure there is a little Youtube policy bending happening here, TubeMate is on of those apps I always...
YouTube link for mobile viewing When I first played Destroy Gunners F, I was pretty blown away. Big robots carryings large weapons and blowing up smaller, less impressive looking robots was just too cool to me. It took me back to playing Battletech: Solaris through AOL (keyword: Battletech, I think) when I was just a wee lad and I was only allowed a few hours on the internet a day....
YouTube link for mobile viewing I get to play a lot of games as I'm looking for the best stuff to show you guys and gals. Most of the time I find pretty good stuff. Occasionally though, I come across something that's kind of a dud. Buddy Rush is one of those games. Buddy Rush is a cross-platform (Android, iOS, and Facebook) action/RPG where you pick a character and complete missions to...
YouTube link for mobile viewing When Minecraft: Pocket Edition was announced as an exclusive for the Xperia Play, block-builders the world round collectively wept. How long would it be before we could all run from Creepers, beat up sheep for their wool, or build giant structures to worship your favorite Android mascot? It might have felt like forever, but Minecraft: Pocket Edition is...
Looking to download something new today, but just not sure what it should be? Don't worry, we have you covered, hit the break with us and let's check out some of our favorites from this week and hopefully they can become some of your very own favorites! Chris Parsons - TuneIn Radio (Free / 99cents) I love listening to music but sometimes, I get rather bored of my own music...
It was way back in January when we first reported Musicnotes would be bringing their sheet music viewer over to Android and I'm happy to say that it has finally arrived. Meeting at the intersection of music and tech, the Musicnotes Sheet Music Viewer doesn't promise much, but for what it advertises, it does really well. When you first boot up the app, you're given the option to sign in...
For anyone who has ever been involved in playing a musical instrument, you know the importance of tuning, which is why DaTuner is for you. DaTuner is a highly accurate strobe tuner that not only automatically locks onto the pitch you're playing, but also tells you the register you're playing in along with how many cents sharp or flat you are. It's a welcome change from the needle-...
The day has finally come. It has arrived. It's here. (Well, for us -- the rest of you get it soon). Shadowgun, Madfinger Games's excellent looking, console-quality action/shooter is coming to Tegra-powered Android devices. From the moment Shadowgun was announced, I was itching to get my greasy little fingers all over it and shoot whatever it is they're shooting in those trailers. You...
Sometimes your contact list just gets large. It happened to me and I'm still not quite sure how. You get an email here, exchange some business cards, and boom, before you know it, your contact list is overflowing with people. If you're struggling to keep track of all your contacts and are interested in how you stay in touch with them, Xobni's new Smartr Contacts is the app for you. Upon...
Come one, come all, app lovers. Let's check out some of our favorite applications from this week, in hopes that some of them may end up becoming some of your favorites as well! Sean Brunett - Buffalo Bills Mobile (Free) I’m a huge football fan, specifically a Buffalo Bills fan. That’s why I was excited to see the release of an official app for my favorite team. It is a nicely done...
Better known for its microSD cards, Sandisk has released its own memory management application onto the Android Market. Whereas popular file management apps like Astro allow you to dive deep into the file system on your device, Sandisk aims to cast a wider net by linking into cloud storage services as well. The underlying intent is to assist you with backing up your device's contacts,...
Can you believe it, back already for yet another round of some of our favorite Android applications. Finding them is the hard part, and using them is the fun part, so why not skip the hard, and jump into the fun as we take a look at some of our favorites for you this week. Anndrew Vacca - YouMail Visual Voicemail Plus (Free) If you're still using carrier-provided voicemail, it's...
YouTube link for mobile viewing If I had to pick my favorite cuddly nature animal, squirrel would probably win. They have big, bushy tails, look really soft, and one time I saw one run up to a guy and take the remainder of his sandwich out of his hand. (No lie.) When I found a game about a squirrel busting open nuts on his head and eating them, I figured it was worth a look. That game...
YouTube link for mobile viewing When news got out that R-Type had been officially released on Android, I got pretty excited. Yes, R-Type is technically a year older than me. I still played it at the laundromat down the street growing up, and old games in general still occupy a soft spot in my heart. Simply put, this is an awesome, authentic port. There's eight levels, two modes of...
Launchers are a dime a dozen now-a-days, there are tons and tons of options in the market, some free, some paid, many doing similar things in the end. When I first caught wind of Rocket Launcher I thought to myself "oh, another launcher to do the same thing" but as always I checked it out and wow was I shocked. First impressions, as we all know, mean quite a bit, and when I first...
YouTube link for mobile viewing I'm not sure what this wallpaper reminds me of, but it's cool. Maybe Tron? Maybe the last boss fight in Deus Ex: Human Revolution? A plane engine? It's hard to nail down, but I know I've seen something like it before, and like then, it intrigues me. That's the essence of Mystic Halo Live Wallpaper. Rotating rings, glowing, responding to your touch, etc...
YouTube link for mobile viewing I don't like bugs but I do like puzzles. I'm not particularly fond of spiders, either (too many eyes and legs for my taste), so the idea of depriving them of their meal seemed like a good enough premise to give a whirl. The result is many an hour lost and homework neglected. Greedy Spiders is a turn-based puzzle game where you (as some omnipotent, web-...
We know you love apps, and part of what makes us the best Android site around is that we love to share our favorite apps with you each week. This week we got a whole lot for you, so grab a snack, and a drink, and hit the break as we check out some of our favorites yet again! Kevin O'Quinn - Zombieville USA ($1.99) I'm not usually into zombie themed games, but this one caught my eye...
YouTube link for mobile viewingI buy a lot of games. Some are just a buck, some are a couple of dollars, but sometimes I'm just itching to find a really sweet free game to try out and mess around with. I stumbled upon A Space Shooter for Free today, which takes the old, retro shooter genre and adds some over-the-top characters to produce a pretty fine little game.You take the helm of...
YouTube link for mobile viewingFirst things first: I know the video says iDevices. Obviously I didn't make it, but it's gorgeous and really captures the game experience better than any video I could do. With that out of the way, know this: Emissary of War is one of the best games on Android right now and probably the best game in its genre right now.Emissary of War is epic. It takes...
