Android

As a long-standing not only use my tablet to work and surf the web, e-mail or social networks. In my spare time I like to amuse myself with some of the many games available on Google Play. The quality of video games for Android improved greatly in recent years and so it is worth mentioning some of the most outstanding titles (and sometimes less widespread).

The choice of games below is entirely personal. Seize the comments to mention their favorite titles and recommend to other readers ElGeek .


Temple Run

One of the most addictive Android games I had in my life. The theme is simple: Our character has to escape temple with the treasure in your hands and passages deal with obstacles like broken tree limbs or roadblocks. While we have to collect advanced gold and powers, without falling into the hands of the creatures that haunt us.

The more points together, the greater the reward. The awards allow us to improve the powers, unlock characters and get tools to expand the gameplay. Furthermore we meet goals that make the experience even more fun and keep us glued to the game.

A few months ago

developers launched Temple Run 2, a sequel that kept the original spirit but changed the design of scenarios and added new gameplay options. In my case, the second version of the title did not convince me and attracted me as much as the first and left soon after.

Pitfall!

In line

escapes and adventures, Pitfall! is another great alternative to consider. In my opinion it is much more fun than Temple Run 2 and mandatory installation for the nostalgic fun they had in the 80s with Pitfall Harry in the old Atari 2600.

Logically, Pitfall! is no longer a horizontal scrolling game súperpixelado . The Android version offers a very produced that not only stands out for its dynamic character to deal with obstacles, but by changes in camera angles that add a pinch original gameplay.

Beyond graphics, the identity of Pitfall! is the usual one. Our goal is to help the protagonist to escape the forest without obstacles stop him: snakes, crocodiles, cliffs, rocks, fire, trees, etc.. The gameplay changes as we move from level and use the treasures of powers, which guarantees plenty of fun.

are fans of Tower Defense games, this is a title worth installing on their smartphones or tablets. As in other proposals of the genre, the goal of the game is protect our headquarters advancing enemy militia . For this we need to populate the battlefield with weapons to prevent the advance of rivals.

Fieldrunners HD offers a diverse set of weapons with different powers, which can be improved as the levels progress. The longer the campaign, the harder it is to defeat the opponents, so you have to raise a smart strategy. The hordes of enemies are varied and require our full concentration.

Each weapon in the battlefield not only be improved, but sold, removed or moved depending on the need. Fieldrunners HD also provides various game modes that increase the replay value. If tested the desktop versions, the Android edition will not disappoint.

different game, ideal for those seeking a slightly more relaxed approach. In this game we control an organism that must absorb smaller ones to be the largest in the environment, avoiding a larger body size. It is a very attractive, with great graphics and a soundtrack that takes the applause.

While

level change we face new challenges, such as higher organisms that repel our progress or solar systems that make our work harder and put us at risk. We may be feeling that Osmos HD is too short, but really it’s a great game and worth buying.

The Simpsons: Springfield

Born as The Simpsons: Tapped Out on iOS, we are talking about a game designed for fans of the FOX animated series history. The title belongs to the sandbox genre and gives us the ability to create our own version Springfield , which was destroyed by Homer in a catastrophe.

As in any open world game we have to accomplish missions, buy properties and unlock characters and elements. As one official game no missing item in the series: from the family home to the convenience store Simpson Apu, nuclear plant Mr. Burns, primary school, farm Cleto and Moe, among many others .

500x279 thq THQ logo are considering versions of their games to Linux

In fact, according to THQ Phoronix are considering to bring their games to Linux, and the president of the company, Jason Rubin, posted a message on Twitter in which they were considering that option due the feedback they had received regarding the Humble Bundle : “We have received the message on Linux loud and clear through the # HumbleBundle feedback. Right now we are evaluating the cost and benefits “.

Rubin also said that they are using the Unity game engine for one of their current projects . Unity 4.0, which just launched recently, offers support to Linux, although that will not be useful to bring the rest of the catalog of THQ-Unity-not used to our screens. Still, this could be promising news to have at our disposal titles like Saints Row , Company of Heroes , or Warhammer , to name a few examples.

does something less than a year we promised all of us very happy with the release of the code of id Tech 4 graphics engine for games like Doom 3 that often haunt after an open source license by order was turned into a project that any developer could build on their Open Source games.

 id tech 4 500x347 Where are the games that would take advantage of the id Tech 4 engine?

One of the most promising projects in this section was ioDoom3 , a version of “free” Doom 3 that would use all the advantages of the new graphics engine situation, but as stated in the project Phoronix has apparently stalled for months.

Git repository in which is included ioDoom3 code has not changed in months, the mailing list has been no new posts since May and activity on the Twitter account, the Wiki, the Bugzilla forums or particular is null .

This situation seems

extended to other projects that theoretically could have taken advantage of id Tech 4, and in the original article mentioned Dante, Oliver McFadden development also play Dhewm3. It’s a real shame have at our disposal a powerful engine like this and that developers do not end up taking advantage, but perhaps the imminent arrival of Steam help reinvigorate those efforts.

 Microsoft integrates Windows XBOX brand 620x313 XBOX games for Windows 8

Microsoft is the plays all facing the imminent launch of the latest version of its popular operating system, Windows 8.

For the person who still doubt it enough to see how the company disappeared in an instant convert Hotmail to Outlook now how to follow the path of integration by adding your brand video game software.
Specifically XBOX be called Windows to all that sound and dance pixels within Windows 8 starting with newer versions of Solitaire and WIN Minesweeper , classic games will also come in tablet Surface added.

The main difference (besides graphics, visual styles and other details) will be the inclusion of points and rewards for achievement or meet certain challenges. This score will be cumulative and may be configured on the same Xbox Live profile visible both within the game console and other equipment where the service is (or will be) available.

I just bought Windows 8, from next October, users are several points with a maximum of 50.

Although the keyword for all these movements is “integration,” Windows XBOX keeps his distance from the line Games for Windows Live, the independent range of Microsoft online game designed just for PC.

The name change ends up being that, a name change because the application (once renowned for strengthening the METRO system the company) has its own download center to acquire more games but that may be strengthened by the Marketplace or Xbox Live Marketplace … at least that seems most appropriate if you are talking about unification.

would interesting to see if at some future include Kinect in these plans, although in a while has been rumored about.
