Gaming is a lot bigger than it ever has been. That’s a phrase that people band around all the time and for those of us that are heavy gamers we might not have noticed. If you take a look around, gaming has become more casual and at the same time a competitive sport. For this Top 10 roundup I’m going to go through the Top 10 apps for gamers out there. I’m not talking games or emulators I’m talking about tools that can help us in our game, help connect with friends or just keep us up-to-date. Come join me as I run through the best apps for gamers on Android!
We all need to get our hands on news and when it comes to gaming, you need to know what’s coming out, what’s been updated and what’s on sale. With Appy Gamer you can get all of this and the best thing is that it’s done it all for you and if you’re someone that has one of every current console out there then this is for you as it covers all the major formats. You should never miss a release date again thanks to this.
Often when we think of gaming we turn to the two biggest consoles out there at the moment and they are, of course, the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. With brilliant exclusive games like Killzone on the PS3 and Halo for the 360 it’s difficult to choose between the two. If you couldn’t make the decision and bought one of each then this is the app for you. You can sign into both PlayStation Network as well as Xbox Live. Features vary upon either service but, it looks like Xbox Live has more functionality with this app. This is a great and clean way to keep all your gaming friends organised.
These guys have been at it for years and they’ve amassed serious amounts of content some of it just appears out of nowhere. Which is brilliant because that game you though nobody had heard off and you wanna is any good? IGN will more than likely have some info on it and a rating. It’s also quite quick so, getting hold of reviews and ratings on the go is real easy, staring down the barrel of a game sale can be a hard thing at times and with this app you can get expert advice on what to buy and what not to buy.
This one right here is for big Android gamers. Nvidia marketed their Tegra Zone as the best thing in mobile gaming however, it’s barely lived up to that promise. In fact, Qualcomm and Sony have managed to secure more exclusive releases than the Tegra Zone. However, it’s still a great place to go if you just want games, all of the games here should support extended effects for Tegra devices and as long as you have Tegra 2 at least, you’ll be good to go with this. Exclusivity is a hard thing to make successful however, if there was anyone that could do, you’d have thought it was Nvidia. It’s disappointing to still be without a Steam for Android.
In these times of high-fidelity gaming and PC gaming againg pushing the envelope it’s hard to forget just how much fun the 8-bit and 16-bit classics of the day really were. Sure, they look pretty poor by today’s standard but, they still have their charm and if you’re anything like me, you can’t resist a good few minutes on Super Mario Bros. 3. The orginal. There are a whole lot of emulators out there but, we’re not going to go into that – maybe another list? – Gameshelf brings all of your retro games together in one place, stylishly for you to play all from one place. We recently featured Gameshelf in these month’s top apps!
