Bundles seem to be the lifeblood of the indie scene lately, with things like Indie Royale and The Humble Indie Bundle introducing gamers to great collections of games at less than rock bottom prices. Now the makers of the latter have turned their eyes towards the mobile scene, and have today unveiled the Humble Bundle for Android. |

Francis Bacon may have taught us that knowledge is power, but I doubt that even he could have foreseen using one's awareness of the actual date of Pi Day to defeat evil. Yet that's precisely the concept behind Trivia Adventure, which combines multiple-choice trivia with familiar elements from fantasy-based role playing games. It works better than it probably sounds, although figuring out which audience this offering was intended for provides one of the hardest questions to answer. |

Hybrid game genres can sometimes be obvious, but for the most part, the ones that stick out the most are those that you never really considered before. For some reason, combining real time strategy and tower defense never crossed my mind. Luckily the Russian team Unigine Corp were wearing their thinking hats on the day they came up with Oil Rush, which is billed to combine the two genres. It’s no secret that I’m a big tower defense fan, but I’ve always found RTS games a little much to wrap my head around, despite trying many different times. Either way the split happens, there’s never any doubt that Oil Rush is a strategy game through and through. |

Baseball and anime is probably not the most ideal combination. Most people that enjoy anime are not going to like baseball, and vice versa. Despite the odd mixture of themes, Baseball Superstars 2012 plays a surprisingly good game of baseball. |

You probably think you don’t need another match-3 game, and you’re probably right. But that doesn’t mean they’ll stop coming any time soon. And while Jewels of the Amazon shares quite a bit with its predecessors -- from the basic gameplay all the way up to power-ups -- it also adds some fun twists and a great adventure premise. It’s far from original, but it’s a solid time waster for puzzle fans. |

Playing with clay is something nearly everybody loves, but not many of us are terribly good at it. Thankfully, for every few million clay modellers with two left thumbs, there tends to be a genius like Nick Parks or Will Vinton who comes along to show us what the medium can really be. And the makers of Clay Jam? You can count them amongst those few geniuses who know a thing or two about clay. |

You'd think that any game about pirates would automatically be fun. Generally, it's true: pirates make things at least a little bit more enjoyable, even if they're not always great. However, Gemaica manages to prove the exception to this rule. The game just never really manages to hit the right note, and all the pirates in the world can't make up for that. |

There’s been an interesting tidbit floating around the internet over the last 24 hours that stems from a talk Rovio CEO Mikael Hed gave at the Midem conference in Cannes. When discussing piracy, Hed took a stance you don’t often hear from his side of the industry; "Piracy may not be a bad thing: it can get us more business at the end of the day." |

Zombies, eh? Whoever invented them must be rolling in royalties right now. These resilient, ambling monsters have featured in every form of entertainment under the sun, and especially in video games. It's not very often, however, that zombies are coupled with humor. |
