If you’ve been itching for a new game to play and happen to have a Tegra device, we’ve got a new game that’s going to consume hours of your free time for the next week or two. Ravensword: Shadowlands is a deep, engrossing RPG with a ton of features and polish. From an open 3D world to weapon and armor crafting to a lockpicking system, it’s a meticulously crafted game that is almost as if an Elder Scrolls game hit the mobile platform. And, if your phone or tablet sports a Tegra processor, you’re going to get even more graphical enhancements to make the game that much better.

The price tag is a little steep at $7, but with as many features as this game has, I’m sure your wallet can forgive you, just this once. And after spending over 300 hours in Skyrim, I think I’m definitely going to have to give this one a try. Who’s with me? Hit the break below to get your hands on the download.

The Conduit, a well-received first person shooter on the Nintendo Wii, has been remade for Android devices and is now on the Play Store, fully optimized for Tegra devices.

The game features an epic campaign centered around aliens occupying Washington DC. You play as a Secret Service agent named Michael Ford who gets caught up with a mysterious organization to stop the alien invasion and unravel a massive conspiracy theory that dates back a few hundred years. It’s a fast paced shooter with a pile of unique weapons to use and several different kinds of alien enemies to fight over the game’s campaign mode. And if you’re running the game on a Tegra device, you’ll get optimized graphics, including higher resolution and enhanced lighting effects. Possibly the best feature of the entire app is the fact that you can completely customize your touch screen controls to suit your device and playing habits, and it supports bluetooth controllers.

Sound interesting? Hit the source below to download the app and try out the first two levels of the campaign for free.

Featured Play Store Review: Hands on with Zombie Driver THD [Arcade & Action]

tagged , , , ,

Those of you with a Tegra powered device might want to check out Zombie Driver THD, which was just released in the Google Play Store and TegraZone. If slaughtering zombies is your thing, you are probably going to love this one because there is no shortage of zombies to run over and shoot at. This game becomes a serious bloodbath pretty quickly.

Zombie Driver has already been available on the PC and consoles, but if you’re not familiar with it, the game is set in a city that is infested with zombies because of a chemical accident from a secret government project. You will take on various missions to rescue civilians while slaughtering zombies along the way. You will get around with a car that can be equipped with a generous amount of weapons. This game is a lot of like Grand Theft Auto, in that you will be presented with missions and you must navigate to where you need to go via the map. The one major difference is the zombies. You simply run them over or shoot them and watch the blood splatter all over the place.

Auralux is now available in the Google Play Store, We go hands on

A cool new game is available for Tegra devices and it’s called Auralux, from Wardrum Studios. Some of you might be familiar with it since it has been available for the PC for a while now. If you aren’t, let me first say that this isn’t going to blow you away with mind blowing graphics, but trust me it will give you hours of fun. It’s a minimalist real-time strategy game in which it’s all about taking over other planets for total domination. Sounds pretty hyper doesn’t it? Actually the game is supposed to be a “relaxing cerebral experience” with soothing music.

How it works is this, you start with one type of unit upon one planet and your goal is to send your units (or particles as I like to call it) to other neighboring planets with the hope of taking them over. There’s competition though as two other units will try to do the same thing. Each opponent is represented by color, and each opponent starts the game with the exact amount of resources so it’s all about your strategy. This is my type of game: uncomplicated with tremendous gameplay.

The results are in for NVIDIA‘s first annual Players Choice Awards. NVIDIA tallied fan votes for games in the following categories:  Best Graphics, Best Gameplay and Best Overall. Many great games were available to choose from, including Dark Meadow, Shadowgun THD, Grand Theft Auto III, Riptide GP, Soulcraft THD and more.

Some tough choices, but the fans have spoken. It was almost a clean sweep by Rockstar.

Best Graphics - Shadowgun THD
With its water, damage, aging, and particle effects, Shadowgun THD had little competition in the Best Graphics category.

Best Gameplay - Grand Theft Auto III
GTA III and Shadowgun THD were battling it out in this category, but thanks to full-on game controller support, Rockstar’s game came out ahead.

Best Overall - Grand Theft Auto III
Again, GTA III and Shadowgun THD came to blows for Best Overall. With full 3D stereo on Tegra devices that support 3D, plus the previously mentioned game controller support, GTA III took the crown as Best Overall Game.

 

Congrats to all two winners!

The HTC One X has a number of great specs such as a 4.7-inch touchscreen at 720 x 1280 with Gorilla Glass protection, Android 4.0, Sense 4.0 (if you’re into that), a Quad-core 1.5GHz Tegra 3 processor, 1GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, 8mp rear facing and 1.3mp front facing cameras, NFC, and let us not forget Beats audio. Yes, this phone is stacked pretty nicely. Although I wonder if something could make it better? Possibly give its owner a whole new experience with their HTC One X. Well you who have been longing for this exact scenario can now take advantage of CyanogenMod 9.
