TOTAL WAR BATTLES

Attached Image Attached Image Attached Image

I used to use nova as well but when on live wall paper and drawer is not full black the drawer has a slight lag when swiping around. At least when compared to quad core devices. So i took the plunge and tried and bought holo HD. And damn all things equal holo HD is so so so so much smoother especially in the app drawer! Tho i notice its a bit unstable when switching protrait and landscape. I lock it to portrait and allow device to free rotate for browsing and etc and no way going back to nova biggrin.gif

Ps Total War series has come to android! I did a review d and just uploaded it to my blog d. Will post in pinned thread soon but here is the copy paste

First and foremost this blogger has got to admit he is a total total war fan. absolutely love the series. for the uninitated total war is a strategy game on the pc where you build up cities, manage diplomacy and then wage war in epic real time strategy. Sounds great? It is! Unfortunately this android version is very very different from the pc version. It carries the same name but gameplay isnt the same. Part puzzle and a hybrid real time turn based strategy this game is still incredibly fun to play. The puzzle part is in the campaign btw where there are some optional missions u can perform where you need to complete some tasks using limited resources and pure brain power. The battles are incredibly fun. Theres definitely plenty of units to choose from, both ranged, melee and supporting. And each unit has pros and cons. Eg stronger against some, weaker against some. The balance is pretty good. Think of those many lane games available on android where you start at one end and the enemy on another end, and you recruit units to send and charge against the enemy. Its similar. Except you have more than one lane. And you can command your units to start or stop moving forward (but not backward). And they can attack (melee) adjacent lanes. And each unit xan also be ordered to change lanes (but there is a cool down) combine this with the complex scissors paper stone unit strategy and support units and terrain and you have yourself a pretty fun and intense strategy game. The battle animations and graphics and narratives are pretty sweet as well. You can see em dodge, parry, impale and slice your enemies. Not sure if there is an element of chance or dice roll or not but based on what ive played i would guess yes. Oh and also it has simultaneus 2 player multiplayer on the same device. Ill be playing this in my phone and keeping it in my note 10.1 tablet for multiplayer for sure. It may not be the same as the pc total war series but this is still a keeper!

SPECTRAL SOULS AND BLAZING SOULS

ooking for some awesome turn based rpg strategy ala final fantasy tactics style? Look no further than Spectral Souls and its sequel, Blazing Souls. You control characters in a turn based strategy, using wits and skills to win battles and advance the storyline. These games are actually ports of the PsP version, but they are very very well ported and a joy to play through. They are also definitely console quality games and the price tag reflects that. The story line is deep and makes Final fantasy tactics look kiddie like in comparison. Also gameplay is much more complex and unique, focusing on how u organise your team to combo hits on enemy units rather than having a few IMBA units or characters to win the game ala FF Tactics. You gotta chain your attacks, ordering units to charge skill and making another unit attack the same target. Whrn this happens your other charging unit will join the attack and create combo chains which increase overall total damage. But if your charging unit is attacked his charge is lost. Thats sorta like the gist of it tho there are more features like combining attack A and Attack B can create a more powerful attack C. Ill let the game tutorial teach it to you. Also this game has a world map and in order to advance the story you'll find yourself controlling more than one faction, often several factions, in order to see the story from different points of view. You wont be playing the same battle though just with different factions. For example there is an event A, which you can complete with either faction A or Faction B. Once u complete that event with either faction the story moves on and the things u can do with either faction changes and the plot reveals itself during intermissions of either factions. Interesting concept as you play the bad guy, the good guy, and some other guys and then you suddenly realise, wtf, i have no idea who the bad guy is any more they all seem to have a point. Very matured. But for the linear gamers can be a bit confusing as its hard to form a direct bond with any one particular character as you must understand and sympathise with all factions. A great console game. A must have for fans of the genre.

Oh and did i mention these games are EXCLUSIVE for android. Hah eat that apple fans XD

Im a fan of total war too.. but so far i haven bought any android games yet. Just wanna know if its worth it to buy for 5 dollars... if its .99 i would buy it in an instant... and those blazing souls.. 15 dollar each. thats kinda high.. iono if the content in android apps going to be the same with normal pc games. i mean in terms of playing time and network play.

fyi im a new android phone user so may i know for how long continuous usage that is ok for phone? @@ Right now im playing those free games from com2us and gamevil developers. its a freemium model game so its understandable if its hard to play for free players..

and emm, should i make reviews for the free games? sweat.gif

Freemium games are actually more expensive. And u cant enjoy those games to the fullest. 0.99 is three bucks u realise. And 5 buck is like 15 ringgit. These arent java games but full fledged games and the blazing souls is a psp port. Aka console game quality. So yea. U pay for what u get. The games that i recommend i only do so if theyre good lol. U can find all that i recommended in my blog (non main stream games). Treat it this way. If devs cant make a living they just stop making games. Pretend u belanja them starbucks for a good game . Thetotal war u will either hate it or love it. I finished the campaign in two full solid hooked days and there is instant action and multiplayer too. Its a keeper. But replayability in terms of campaign u may wanna try others.

I rather pay one shot for a game and enjoy it then have em follow stupid gameloft. Even their paid games are still pay to win games. Thats just greedy and i never support gameloft anymore

Needless to say, everything that is coming from HyperDevbox Studio are top notch game ports. Everything released by them are heavy weight titles that can consume up to hours of gameplay, hence the price of a full fledged game.

Just yesterday bought HueBrix, I am impressed how refreshing the gameplay is. There's also a free version available. Here is a review from AndroidPolice

user posted imageuser posted imageuser posted image

QUOTE
This is a puzzle game that has a simple premise: fill in all the squares. You will only make it a few minutes before the cunning level design starts the slow process of melting your brain.

There are over 400 levels in HueBrix, but all of them start in basically the same way. You have a grid of white squares that need to be covered with colored lines. Just drag a path from the various starting blocks to fill in all the spaces. Before you say, "Oh, that sounds easy," let me stop you right there, cowboy. The first five or ten levels are pretty simple – you can knock them out in a couple seconds. But the difficulty ramps up quickly from there.

I don't know if I'd call any of this a "control scheme". There are no buttons, or sliders – just dragging a line. It's the simplest method of user interaction in a game, and it's instantly understandable. It took me just a few seconds of playing around to understand all I needed to know about how to beat a simple level in HueBrix. The controls do everything they need to.

HueBrix's clever simplicity extends into the graphical department as well. The game board is just a basic white square with a little dash of color. It ends up with a little bit of a modern art vibe as you fill in the white space with vibrant colors

Do you like puzzles? If you even thought about saying 'yes,' get HueBrix. It's an incredibly addictive puzzle game that is just simple enough that you don't get fatigued playing it for long periods, but challenging to the point that you don't get bored. It reminds me of Tetris a bit in that I'm playing it in my head as I go about my day, just like I did with Tetris years ago.
