The Weekend Is Cold And Lonely. Fill The Emptiness With Gaming Apps.

Did you guys see the Bests update for Android? It signals a renewed effort to cover the latest and greatest games coming to the world's most popular open mobile platform. That's going to have to do for this week. P

I didn't play many new Android games this week, because I was spending all my Android time reviewing titles released earlier this year, ones we may have missed in our quest to deliver the best that platform has to offer. Meanwhile, over on iOS, all the cool things were released. 

P

Double Fine's the Cave, for instance. Stardock's first mobile game turned out pretty well. There's a voxel space shooter, for crying out loud. It's been such a good week. P

And now that we're at a good place on that Android Bests list, next week should be even better. Until then...P

What we played this week: P

SEXPAND

The Cave — Double Fine — iOS — $5.99P

Double Fine's three-way cooperative platformer might not play as well here as it does on consoles and PC, but the warm, fuzzy, mildly disturbing feeling is still there. P

SEXPAND

Lost Echo — KickBack — iOS — $2.99P

It starts off a little bit slow, but once the mystery of this stylish adventure game grabs hold you will not be able to put it down. P

SEXPAND

Gunner Z — BitMonster — iOS — FreeP

Crafted with Unreal Engine 3 and featuring an often terrifying night vision view of the zombie apocalypse, Gunner Z the sort of game you need to see in action. Thank goodness it's free. P

SEXPAND

Dead Man's Draw — Stardock — iOS — $1.99P

Stardock's first foray into mobile gaming has resulted in a really killer card game, where risk and reward is king. Well, that and screaming at the top of your lungs when your opponent is a douche. P

SEXPAND

Totems: Game of Conquest — Timecode — iOS — $1.99P

This is about as simple as competitive strategy board games get while still remaining fiendishly entertaining. It's about claiming territory, and it's so much fun. P

SEXPAND

Space Qube — Qubit Games — iOS — $.99P

It's a space shooter with a voxel twist. Blow apart cubed enemies and collect their parts to create your own vehicles. Share them online. Print them in 3D. Hug them with your mind. P

SEXPAND

Level 22 — Noego — Android, iOS — $3.99P

It's a stealth action game, only you're just a guy late for work, trying to get to his desk before anyone notices. Hilarious. P

SEXPAND

Apple Dash HD — Strange Flavour — iOS — $2.99P

A simple old-school arcade platformer, polished to perfection. Cute, cuddly, and maybe a bit pricey, but you get new hats. Everyone likes hats. P

SEXPAND

Edge of the World — Central Core Studios — Android, iOS — FreeP

Take turns sling-shotting your ship as close to the end of the world as possible without falling off. Pretty sure I've been tricked into Curling.
