If you have ever dreamed of being a heroic space pilot, this game will allow you to do just that while on the go with your Android mobile phone or device.
The first thing you are likely to notice about Z-Cross would be the gorgeous graphics, which somehow achieve both a minimalistic look and an eye-pleasing amount of depth at the same time. Your ship is a very simply-designed neon outline that looks futuristic and stylish, and enemy ships and other items are also outlined in colorful neon designs that stand out and are easy to pick up visually as you play what can often be a frantic game. Z-Cross Review

MonTowers Legend of Summoners

MonTowers – Legend of Summoners is designed specifically for the iPhone and iPad and it requires iOS 4. 3 or later. MonTowers Legend of Summoners Download
This game is a monster gathering and fighting game. It has a unique twist to the classic collection style monster games. Instead of looking after a specific monster (or in many cases a pet) the user summons the monster and it can be dismissed at any time. The monster itself does not level up.
The user’s character gains experience and learns how to summon stronger creatures as the game progresses.
The game has an anime style cartoon theme and appears to be quite detailed graphically; this makes MonTower very interesting to play. There are three main stages in playing the game, each stage has variations and changes depending on the users goal at that specific time. MonTowers Legend of Summoners Review

It is completely addictive and will keep you amused for hours on end. Boomlings has fantastic gameplay and uses 2D hand drawn animations that look absolutely superb. The crazy characters and bright colours are attractive to players of all ages. The idea of the game is to match four or more of the same colour Boomlings together.
Once they are connected they will explode and disappear from the screen, more will appear after each turn the user takes. It is a turn based game and played on a grid like game board.
When the bar at the bottom of the screen is completely filled it means the level is completed and you have successfully passed. If you do not clear enough Boomlings quickly enough then the map will get overrun and there will be no space left to move. Boomlings Review

The content of the game is exactly as it says in the title. This is a great new game which is based upon the numerous different flags used by countries around the world. If you like puzzling quiz games and feel that you are quite knowledgeable in this genre of game then it is certainly worth a try.
This game basically requires the player to look at flags and try to guess which country it is from. However, although this is the basic premise of the game the player will find that there is so much more too it.
I personally loved this game and found myself spending a lot of time playing this game. I found it fun, entertaining, knowledgeable and also very educational. It is a great game for all the family to play as I am sure most children as well as adults would like to have a crack at this. Nation Flag Logo Quiz Review

Happy Sheep

Happy Sheep is the greatest new release from the developers apps2ppl. Download app here!
This is a fun little game which I would say is suitable for the whole family and people of all ages. Upon first try I was startled by the user friendliness of the game. The directions and instructions are very easy to use and follow as are the controls. The graphics are very simplistic but fun and quirky.
The simplicity of the graphics does not take anything away from the game but only adds to the fun sense and feeling that this game has around it.
The main game content is based on a large green field which has a very happy pleasant look about it with the animals running free. I found the graphics very likeable as soon as I saw them. The sound effects are very cute and I would say compliment the game perfectly adding to the quirkiness of the animals featured within the game. Happy Sheep Review

TryGuessThis

Try Guess This is the latest app released by the developers Fruitbar Entertainment. If you are a fan of puzzle guessing games then this game will certainly appeal to you. Upon first playing the game reminded me very much of the popular “Draw Me” game however this one had a huge difference – instead of drawing this game used photos! Download app here!
I found this a great little twist and as a player you could be very mean and very clever in how you choose to use your photos.
The illustrations on the app are very quirky, fun and appealing and all of the tabs are clearly labelled instructing and guiding you how to play the game easily. As a player you are provided with a list of three words.
You then have to pick one of those three words and take a picture of the word. For example if a word is table you have to take a photograph of a table and send the photograph to the other person playing the game. TryGuessThis Review
