It seemed to be a slow release for games this week, but there were still some good ones thrown into the market. We did get a great new game in the form of Robotek, but got nothing new from Gameloft, and still no Plants vs Zombies yet. If PopCap sticks to their word, I can already tell you what next week’s numero uno will be! Anywho, here are our Top 10 Android Apps of the week…
1. Robotek
Robotek is still a new comer in the Android market, but it seems to be gaining steam quickly. It’s got some killer retro graphics, and the gameplay aint’ bad either. Robotek has a unique battle system that’s pretty much a slot machine that you’ll spin to see what kind of attack you’ll get. There is strategy involved as well though, as you can attack, hack or call in support bots. The graphics alone had me sold on this game, but the interesting gameplay makes it a game I’ll be keeping on my phone for awhile. If you need some more info, you can read our full review or you can go ahead and grab Robotek in the Android Market for free.
2. The Night Flier
The Night Flier originally caught my eye as its name is the same as one of my favorite Stephen King short stories. I was pumped and thought, “Wow a great Vampire game!!” Well, it’s not what I thought, but it is fun and there is a bat involved. In Night Flier you are a small bat soaring through the night skies and you’ll have to avoid cats, planes, and all sorts of things as you try to make it to the next level. There are 10 levels, and a few surprises thrown in for good measure as well. I really liked the cartoonish graphics with this one, and the gameplay was quick and fun. Night Flier is available in the market for .99 cents.
3. BBC News
The BBC finally released their news app into the market this week, and it’s pretty slick. The app has videos, news, and you can even personalize the homescreen by adding and removing categories to your liking. The part I liked the best was the Live streaming of the BBC news channel, anyone can enjoy that provided that you’re running Android 2.2 and have Flash. If you’d like keep up to date on your worldly news, you can grab the BBC News App in the market for free.
4. Cloudy
Cloudy is a clever puzzler from developer DroidHen. It combines puzzles, math and action all in one game… and there’s a paper plane involved as well. Your goal is to guide your paper plane to its destination by finding the proper route, avoiding clouds and collecting stars along the way. There are 50 levels available and best of all it’s free!
One of the most popular Widget packs put out a lite version this week, and it’s great! The popular Beautiful Widgets Lite set includes clock & weather widgets, weather condition/forecast, moon phases, and weather animations along with a few other goodies. The full version give you all that and toggle widgets, battery widgets, beautiful home widgets and around 500 different skins for those cool looking widgets.
