Ever noticed how Android games are becoming more and more refined yet the ability to control them hasn’t? We are starting to see console quality games on phones and tablets and even more so on Tegra 3 devices. The only problem with having these awesome games is that the on screen touch controls never really seem to improve. I’ve found that the best way to play a game on my tablet is with a Bluetooth controller but when I want to use my phone I find that propping up the device when I am out and about can be quite annoying. Enter PowerA’s Moga bluetooth game controller for Android devices, a sure fire end to annoying game play on Android smartphones. » Read the rest

Up until today, the only way you could get Popcap’s smash hit, Plants vs. Zombies, on your Android device was through the Amazon Appstore. It seems that Amazon had exclusive Android rights to the game before the Android Market could get a hold of it, but today that is old news as Popcap announces the availability of Plants vs Zombies and Peggle in the Android Market.

Both games are available now and can be downloaded for $2.99 through one of the download links below. If you are new to either of these games, let us know what you think.

The hugely successful Game maker, Gameloft, has finally brought one of their more well-know hits to the Android Market. Brothers in Arms 2 just landed in the market and is available as a fermium game – free to download, but includes in-app purchases.

BIA2 is a first person shooter and is a WWII based game offering both single player story mode and online multiplayer for going to battle with friends. Throughout the game you build up and customize your weapons as well as unlock new era-similar ones, all the while gaining experience as you play. Speaking of gaining experience, you can use the in-app purchases to aid your progression, giving you the upper hand in battle.

Unfortunately BIA2 is not compatible with the DROID RAZR so I was unable to give it a test run. To check it out for yourself, hit up one of the links below and be sure to let us know what you think!

After being in development for a quite a while, Dead on Arrival, has finally made its way into the Android Market. Although exclusive to Sony’s Xperia Play for the first month, some reports are showing compatibility with the Xperia Arc as well.

Dead on Arrival is a 3D, top-down zombie survival game that takes place inside a plague ridden hospital and is available as a free download from the Android Market.

  • Fast paced action survival shooter
  • Survive against massive waves of the undead!
  • Purchase loads of different weapons to defend yourself from the horde
  • Buy yourself some time by boarding up doors to keep the undead at bay
  • Unlock rooms to make space and find different weapons to finish the fight

  • Massive hospital level to explore and defend all by your lonesome
  • Tutorial level to help you get to grips with the gameplay
  • Full 3D action and gory effects in high detailed graphics perfect for all mobile devices!

One thing to note. The game is a hefty 47MB worth of zombie carnage so you may want to clear up some room on your device before you initiate the download. Jump past the break for download links, screenshots, trailer and press release.
