In the past; handheld game consoles served this purpose throughout our youth. With the advent of smart phones, games have become a number one contender for passing time on the move once again. Smartphone games generally aren’t as intricate as those you would find on a PC or console; and are mostly designed for pick-up-and-play content. This makes them great for playing a few minutes at a time, which is what most people have to offer as of late.

    The most popular of these games might just be Angry Birds. Developed by Rovio Mobile and released to the masses in December 2009, it quickly took the title as the go to game for smart phone owners. Featuring game play you can pick up and drop at any time, and ever raising challenges, it set the standard for a modern mobile title. A ton of devices even include the game because of its popularity. A more recent title that has gained sudden popularity is Temple Run. Although exclusive to the iPhone for now; the game will soon be released to phones that run off Android and its many offshoots.

    When it comes down to finding a phone that can actually support such titles, Samsung is the way to go. Their phones often offer powerful processors and loads of ram. Those with cheaper varieties of smart phones should be varying, as their phone model might not be powerful enough to handle some of the more graphic-intensive titles. Often times, you can find what phones will support a game on the information section of the application in the market.

    So dive in, there’s titles for everyone!

    Willy the Warrior is a new game character who is thought to get his own game in the spring of 2012.
    It’s coming to Ps3  and Xbox 360.
    The game is rumored to be called “Willy the Warrior: Rise of Willy” (RoW) and suggests that this is the start of a new franchise.
    The developer, Willy Entertainment, is a fairly new player on the gaming market. They are the creators of the indie game “Ultron” which was a huge hit in the underground scene. Continuing on

    the same foot, RoW is going to be an adventure game just like Ultron.

    Steve Alwin, CEO of WE says:
    “We know this genre and we are able to create worlds in which players feel at ease. We didn’t want to invent the wheel again, and we don’t need to. We listened to our fans who gave a huge amount of feedback on Ultron. It shaped the game in ways you can’t even start to imagine.”

    That sounds promising but what can you expect from this game?

    “RoW is going to be an adventure in the lines of Castlevania and Metroid. We wanted to keep it old school so we chose to do this game in 2D but we put some environmental 3D elements in so it stays fresh.  The game is still in an early stage and we don’t want to ruin the surprise by telling you about all the trumpcards at this point. “

    Anybody who compares his upcoming game to gems like Castlevania catches my attention immediately. If you are as curious as us keep checking back on this site and we will keep you up to date on the latest development.
