Game Review: Deflection Lite
Up at bat today is Deflection (lite version), a game very reminiscent of 3D Pong. But this game brings a few features you may not have seen in games of this type. When you first load the Deflection you will instantly take note of the retro arcade look and feel the game has. Play is pretty straight-forward your reflexes will be tested as the game progresses and power-ups and game modes keep things even more interesting. The gamer features a number of AIs each that will challenge you in a different way. The game runs well on a mobile device but really shines on a tablet.
This game was a lot of fun and I'm actually keeping it to play during any down time I might have that may not last long enough for a more in depth game.The power-ups, game modes and different AIs actually add a lot to this game. Though I'll admit there were a few levels/AIs that just seemed impossible at times. See the game in action for yourself!

Plants vs. Zombies for android free from Amazon Appstore
It's been a long time coming. And while we waited we've seen many a knockoff app makes it's way into the android market. Luckily Popcan has finally got things together and brought the hit game to Android. And even better if you head over to the Amazon Appstore you can get it for free. I play this game on my PC and I love it. I have wasted countless hours battling the undead horde with my battalion of plants and flowers. If you haven't played or seen the hit game here is a quick video i found.
View on YouTube
It's worth noting a few things. Firstly as the Amazon app of the day, the app is only free for the next 12 hours or so, so definitely head over to Appstore if you're interested. Also the app weighs in around 75MB so if you're rocking an older device you may need to make some room. And while we're talking about older devices; we already know this app is not compatible with several older mid-range devices. (Motoral Droid and T-mobile Mytouch 3G among them) And lastly if I'm correct the Amazon Appstore is US only at the moment so if you're elsewhere you'll most likely miss out on this one. You can expect Plants vs Zombies to show up in the Android market soon.

Playable Angry Birds Birthday Cake.
This video started circulating yesterday on several social networking sites and blogs. A cake made by a father for his son's 6th birthday is inspired by the very popular multi-platform game Angry Birds. The cake reportedly took 10 hours to make and 2 minutes to destroy.
"It's become a family tradition that I make increasingly ridiculous birthday cakes for my kids each year. So with my little boy Ben turning 6-years-old over the weekend, and appreciating his love of Angry Birds, I thought I'd have a shot a making him a playable Angry Birds birthday cake with working catapult and iced birds as ammunition."

Game Review: WordFeud for Android
Today we're taking a look at a game which I think makes this our first game review. Let us know what you think. Wordfeud is a free crossword/scrabble game for android. It offers up the ability to play with friends or random players. Making this a social game. The game currently has two game types normal and random: which scatters bonus tiles around the board. Currently the game contains 3 language dictionaries; English, Norwegian and Dutch. There is a 72 hour time out. Which means whoever's turn it was after 72 hours resigns from the game and the other player wins. With recent updates players can have up to 30 different games going at once. Push notification is available and has been greatly improved. And the game also allows for custom profile pictures.
I've been enjoying this game for weeks. It has everything that I love and all the things have made similar games popular on other platforms (i.e, 'Words With Friends' on iPhone.) It allows me to play with other users and I really like being able to have several games going at once. Not to mention the 'ongoing distant chess match' nature of taking your turn when you have the time and not sweating it until then. There is one annoyance that may be a deal breaker for some. After every turn you are directed to a full screen add, and you need to hit skip to go back to the game. For me this isn't much of an issue as it take only a few seconds to deal with. For others this may be a big issue. For a 'social game that offers up potentially hours of game play look no further; WordFeud does a good job of standing up against it's more popular counterpart on the iPhone. Let us know what you think of WordFeud below.

Review: GameFly for Android
If you're an avid gamer, than you know about GameFly; rent as many as you want for as long as you want with no late fees or due dates. When I heard that GameFly was on iPhone, I was happy to hear it and later disappointed, it wasn't yet on Android. Now 6 months later, GameFly's Android app, Game Center, has finally come to Android......and Palm but that's a different OS. We run Game Center through its courses.
For this review, I'm using a T-mobile G1 with update 1.6 so your experience may vary depending on phone, service, and OS version. You must have a GameFly account or membership to view the GameFly Tab, but it's not necessary. The UI is pretty smooth and responsive. Game Center delivers game reviews, news, trailers and more. Pushing the menu button, shows you your options and lets you customize your experience by a choosing what system(s) you have and then you get to hear about game news, trailer, and reviews that relates to each system(s). You can also choose to connect to Facebook or Twitter. By going to the "Games" tab, you see a list of systems at the top and games below it cataloged by Most Popular, New Releases, and Coming Soon.
You can then click on a game; see the game's info such as game cover, availability, rent or buy, images, trailer, ratings, game description, cheats and codes, game controls, and game specs. You can also search for games within the app. By going to the "News" tab, you see a list of systems at the top and news post cataloged by dates. By going to the "GameFly" tab, you see a mobile version of GameFly where you can do the same thing you can do by going to the website on your phone's browser......and that's actually not too bad. This is the only tab that looks like the mobile version of GameFly and I’m okay with that. It force closed a few times (2 or 3) but that was only after logging in.
Pros: Smooth UI, Bring items up fast, connects to twitter and facebook, and lets you view trailers, news, game specs, and more.
Cons: GameFly tab is just the mobile web page and only usable if you have a membership.
Decision: It's definitely worth a download even if you don't have a GameFly membership. It's great for getting the latest news, trailers, release dates, and other info for all your gaming needs.
