Any NFL fans out there? I've been (im)patiently waiting for Madden to be released, but got a nice surprise from my daily market check today - Backbreaker 2: Vengeance has just been released as a Play exclusive
First impressions after 10 mins play, loving it large Excellent graphics, zero lag, heaps of fun to play... and the controls on this puppy just make games like this rock I played this before on my old iPhone and I loved it but it was frustrating with the onscreen controls (yuck).
The Play is the best phone on the planet, bar none

Rugby with pads n helmets lol
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Lol, yeah a very under appreciated sport outside of the states. I just got hooked on it this year myself, weirdly I hate rugby. Prob cuz I had to play it in school
Highly complex, super athletes, massively entertaining... and the only sport where they openly have one goal in mind... kill the ball carrier. Never mind the pads & the helmets, this is a sport where real injuries are every game Those crunching tackles are what most of us won't admit we all love to watch lol.
Anyway, go play the game. The replays are ultra cool on the new tackling module end of the game. Go break the runner in half
American Football originated from Football(Soccer) and Rugby.
That's why American's call it Football, even though you play it with your hands.

Maybe the first one will work
I'm a fan of soccer (soccer is an english made name for football that the americans adopted - it comes from association football, was to differentiate itself from rugby football, aussie rules, gaelic etc.) I also love Rugby and am a massive fan of american football.
The massive misconception is that its rugby with pads - you dont get off the ball hits in rugby and most of the hits and braced for and expected
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7CZ_RgcJxk
Its also a much more tactical and strategic game than both rugby and football. Football/rugby are about stamina and endurance, keeping going without any breaks, the nfl is all out every second they are playing for with a short rest between plays.
Whilst the advertising is awesome during the superbowl there are much more creative parts to the game - the whole player system and drafting part is much better in the NFL (and all US sports) than it is with rugby and football. Creativity is all part of the game.
Anyway back on topic - I love backbreaker, played the first and now the second, I feel they could make a whole game from it and not just the 'mini' game type feel it has. Would be great if you could play a full game against opponents similar to madden superstar perhaps.
Madden is great on the X Play - not very long, only one season and far too easy even on hard but potential. The apk is floating around somewhere on these forums

Exactly, and pads allow players to give more massive hits - which the pads do little when it comes to the actual force absorbed by the body.
I love the strategy and mind games, and the HITS

Lol who was you playing with your little sister (joke). American football is an ok game, too boring to watch but ok to play imo.
Rugby and football are in a different league, its all about how the game flows but I suppose its all a matter of opinion.
Best sport to come from America is the ufc now there is a game I could do with on my play or fight night would be good.
P.s. Sorry for going off topic

English games have their merits and so do american sports - they are more like cricket, its a well paced game all about strategy and timings. Football and rugby are about stamina. They are in different leagues but parallel to each other.
And about the little sister joke, I find it hard to watch professional football for all the rolling around when someone gets close to them! Seems like they are the ones that are acting like girls!

Hey all
I'm thinking of buying this really nice tablet. But of course, it needs to be properly justified with the powers-that-be (The Wife).
Anyway I'd really like to use it with my almost 3-yo son but I'm not sure if there are *good* apps for kids. Entertaining apps but also some that could be educational. I don't want a simple doodling app, but something engaging and interactive.
The iPad has tons of these, I know. But want to know how large is the market for these apps on Android?
Thanks!
I've only played with Kid Mode and its pretty good but taking a quick look at the market there is a lot out there. Would need someone who actually has children and use them to give a verdit tho.
Oceanhouse Media have done a lot of Dr. Seuss learning apps but they are paid apps.
I don't mind payed, as long as they're good. Dr Seuss's stuff sounds interesting, though I'm from Latin America and his work (if he even is a person, I don't know) is really little known...
Like you said, I'd love to hear from people with little kids on their experiences. Mind you I'm looking for something more than "something to keep him off my back" if you know what I mean
I recommend to buy the stuffed animals and play together outside, because it develops more. If you like some things it does not necessarily been good for your child.
Good advice. Although stuffed animals dont do very well in the outdoors
But some interactivity for when indoors is always welcome.
... Iwas looking for some good apps for kids, but almost no luck.
My 2,5 yr old boy likes machines - cars, trains, wheels of all kind etc.
Unfortunatelly almost everything I found for kids for android is animal oriented - all sort of boring human like fluffy animals.
So my boy stick with watching tunes on youtube, drawing with Drawing Pad (paid) and coloring with Zebra Paint. Everything else - no interest.
Also love to watch someone playing Angry Birds...
Didn't tried Dr.Zeuss - he doesn't speak english (yet...
I'm really missing what I've seen on iPad
Anyway I will appreciate if someone finds something for kids of this age (2-4) and will report if I find something.
Monkey Preschool Lunchbox
I have a 1 1/2 year old and he loves this game. He doesn't get how to do all the games yet so I help him a lot or he uses my hand to complete the puzzles. It was offered on Amazon for free one day, so I grabbed it. I play it on my rooted NookColor with my little one. My TF is on the way and I'm sure it will do much better on there.

This one looks pretty nice. Downloading to phone now to check it out.
you might not of thought about it but why not angry birds. Bright colors birds what could go wrong

I have to second monkey lunchbox. I also picked it up from the free amazon offer but it's well worth paying for. I have a 2 and 1/2 year old that loves it. It covers pretty much the whole preschoolers curriculum.

Actually tried angrybirds but my kid didn't like that because "the birds are breaking the little pig's house"
Tried the monkey's lunchbox and he loves it. Looking for other options too.

I'll admit... I've been waiting for this game for months even before it's English translation was announced. Having them suddenly announce that it'd be released today had me F5'ing the **** out of their page
I like old-school style RPGs; but playing games I've already played before via emulators is kinda depressing. I do like that KEMCO's mixing in just that right balance of old and new school so that their RPGs don't have those archaic old-school RPG issues, but also don't kill that ever-so-mysterious *charm* that era's RPGs had. Judging by the scores of their previous RPG releases (Symphony of Eternity, Eve of the Genesis, Alphadia and Grinsia) the known name behind games such as Dragon View and Shadowgate still got it!... and so far, this is even better than their last Xperia PLAY RPGs!
I hate to remove Galaxy Hero from my website's featured game spot, but Aeon Avenger's in town!

I can always count on you to find kickass JRPGs that just appeared on Google Play. Much thanks.

I have been keeping an eye out for this game since I saw the original and that it was being translated in to English. Thank you..... awesome find my friend.
Bought it.......
What makes this one special? I admit Kemco have stepped up their game considerably, even releasing a video opening for such an old relearn as Eve of the Genesis... The tune is catchy too. However, I feel they're a bit too conservative with their games, and I really hope they release a killer app because they really try hard.
No Logseman, this game is not conservative, this game looks OLD, and as I said in another Kemco game's thread, looks like it has been made with RPG maker.
Even 2D RPG games for PSX looked far more advanced than this.
We are in the year 2012, but seems that Kemco doesn't know it.
Yeah it looks a little old, but looks are not everything. I for one am glad the Kemco is making these RPGs and not only that makiung them compatible with our devices....so Kemco..... THANK YOU!!

I was actually asking about gameplay. 2D graphics ate not an issue for me if they're well bundled with a good story. That's where I don't want them to be conservative.

Ditto.
BTW, this is far above the league of anything made in RPGmaker... I don't even understand what form of dementia would make him bring that up again seeing as the entire notion got trampled over last time he tried that. KEMCO's RPGs are thricefold the depth of anything that could be created in RPGmaker, the resolution is much higher, and the graphical detail is much higher... meaning the only thing they really have in common is that they're 2D.
I'm starting to wonder if it's just a common troll trend to call all non-SQEnix 2D RPGs "RPGmaker lookin crap".

Myself and most ohers dont care for trolls, but still point being Kemco is awesome for making these games available to the masses, and I do hope they bring there other Japanese rpg games to the masses as well..... people can troll all they want, People will enjoy it or not. For me....I will be enjoying it.... and for those that enjoy it show your support by buying the game, because ultimately its about revenue and if people buy the game and Kemco sees there is profit and interest we will continue to see good things come from it.
Hey guys!
I love playing games (on my PC, Xbox or Smartphone)!
I really hate how much "casual" game junk is in the playstore and I can't seem to find some good "story-driven" games...
Do you have some suggestions for me?
For your interest:
I love playing RPGs (gothic, risen, the witcher, dragon age, skyrim etc.)
Shooter are good, as long as they have a good story!!
I really dislike everything casual (like farmville etc.) so please don't suggest me stuff like that
Money is no problem so post everything you got as long as it's worth it
hope you guys can help me, because i'd really like to play some good games on my smartphone when I work abroad...

I suggest you to try the Sorcery! games. For now there are two parts (a third one in development) and they are completely story driven. Both of them look like a tabletop style game, with combat, nice hand drawn images which shows you how the game universe looks like, spells and many paths to choose (great replay value). Since money are no problem ,I fully recommend touy them. Also, after you finished the first game, you can sync your saves to the second one to continue the story with the skills, energy, items and gold from the first one (it also influence your game very much, both in gameplay and in relations with the NPCs).
I'd recommend you Aralon - Sword and Shadow. Also try Limbo.
Purchased it yesterday as it is on sale
Will look "avalorn" up later when I'm home
Thomas Was Alone. I'm not joking. I guess it's a puzzle platformer, but it has excellent narration and a charming story. I'd compare it to Portal but without the offensive parts. Not casual like FarmVille, but more casual than RPGs. So, your call, but I think it's a great game.
Hi, i am indie game developer and i just released my 2nd game for android.
Climbing Ivy is an unusual and original logic 2d game, where you need to grow ivy on the wall avoiding dangerous obstacles.
Use logic and spatial reasoning to plan right path and choose right direction of growing ivy brunches
The game you've never seen before! Worth a try!

It's really interesting game experience, at least I haven't seen something like that before!
Unfortunately, indie game like this rarely reach success on Google Play without marketing budget.
Good luck!
