Some fantastic new games (and old) that you need to download and play to kill some time, here are 5 of the best that we have enjoyed in the last week.
Rabbids Big Bang - Ubisoft (75p)
Download here
The crazy Rabbids are back and this time their puzzle space game hits the mark, basically its a test to get your Rabbid from point A to B via gravity of planets and some various objects in the way ranging from explosive satellites to bombs. You have to hit your Rabbit into orbit at a certain angle to pick up coins.They say the best games are the most simple and Ubisoft have really done well to bring this franchise to Android.
Highly recommended and great fun for the commute home and the kids when you get there.
Transport Tycoon - 31X Ltd (£4.99)
Download here
This game takes the tried and tested format of the other tycoon games and Sim City style but this time applies it to transport.
You have to complete various missions within budget, and on time such as moving x amount of customers in a certain time frame.
Looks great on a tablet such as a Nexus 7 or 10, however we did find it fiddly on a smaller screen such as a 5inch. The good news is there are no in app purchases - yay !
House of the Dead : Overkill - Sega (£3.90)
Download here
We loved this game on the PS3 and very pleased to see it come to Android and the mayhem keeps trucking on the portable hand held. More of the same but instead of using a PS Move controllers your finger is your weapon, so killing zombies is still rewarding.There is in app purchases and I must say they do help allot, however its balanced too much this way and if you don't mind this so much then its a marvelous game. Otherwise its a worthy blaster that should keep your interest for a while at least. Certainly worth the less than £4 outlay.
New Star Soccer - New Star Games Ltd (TBC)
Download here
Some of the new updates like being able to header and more 'drink' options really help to add to an otherwise superb game.
If you haven't played it before, "you" are a "Soccer" star and try to climb up the international ranks by playing well and scoring goals. You get chances to either attack or defend set plays which if you complete you win adulation from your manager, fans and team mates, you also need to keep your girlfriend happy as this can affect your performance too.
Buying boots and drinks gives you more chances to score and more energy to see the game out.
Difficulty does ramp up as you climb through the leagues to.
Chainsaw Warrior - Game the News (£2.99)
Download here
This is an 80s style RPG game which borrows heavily some elements from dungeon and dragons and the Fighting Fantasy series of books from the same era. It was published as a board game you played on your own back in '87 - which I never played because I actually had friends and went outside, however the proper geeks among us will remember it. Games Workshop have had a hand in this game too, so you get the idea of its origins, and yes it has dice !
To be frank - its genuinely good, you have to watch the trailer below to get a full flavor of the game. Chainsaw Warrior is well paced and there are some moments which will have you gripped. It will be the first game you reach for when you have to return home because you played it on the way into work, as you have that urge to complete it !
Great fun - its a big 10/10 from us !
