Hands On: Steam Android App Knocks It Out Of The Park, This Is How You Do A Video Game App

by: | posted 01.27.12 | Apps, Games

There was a reason why I said that Valve was one of my favorite companies yesterday. We got hooked up with access to the closed beta of the Steam Android application that hit the market yesterday and all I can say is “wow.” The app was tested on my Galaxy Nexus and has worked perfectly and better than expected on every aspect of the app, bringing all of the functionality of Steam to your phone, except for the part where it does not play Skyrim.

Flash Video Browser Brings You Full Hulu Just Like on Your PC

All I can say to this app is “Wow.” If you have grown sick of waiting for Hulu to release some sort of non-membership app or to add your device to their supported list, you may want to check out Flash Video Browser. Using this app, you can watch all the Hulu you could ever dream of, just like you do through a PC browser. No subscription required, just free web-only content that for whatever reason, has been blocked from mobile devices.

And here’s to hoping that this doesn’t get shut down in the next couple of days now that it has started to get some attention.

Anomaly Warzone Earth HD Hits Android, Turns Tower Defense Into Offense

by: | posted 01.26.12 | Games, News, Videos

There are almost too many tower defense games to count, however, it was only a matter of time that someone would come along and properly create a tower offense game. Anomaly Warzone Earth HD takes place in the year 2018, where a huge comet has struck the earth and has landed right on top of a major city which US forces have now gone in to investigate.

In this game, you play as the attacker instead of the defender. The player uses resources strategically to create forces that will help you destroy the opposing sides. If you love yourself some strategy games, then this should be right up your alley. It will run you $4 in the Market, but with hours of gameplay, you should feel justified in the purchase. Let us know hat you think down below. 

Valve Releases Official Steam Application For Android, Available For Download But Still In Closed Beta

by: | posted 01.26.12 | Apps, Games, News

If there was one application that I have been waiting for since I came to Android, it would be an official application for Steam. If you are not aware, Steam is the brainchild of Valve Corporation, a video game company. Steam launched a few years back and has become the single largest online distributor of games in the world. Steam changed the way that video games were designed, distributed and played. And with this mobile app they are looking to bring all that to your phone.

But upon installation and login you are told that the app is in beta and that “they will be sending out more invites shortly.” Frustrating but perfectly fine in my book. If there is one company that I do not mind taking their time, it is Valve. They will take however long necessary to make something as perfect as they want it to be (which is why I still do not have Episode 3 in my greedy hands). So be patient gamers, the app will be opened when it is ready and it will be awesome.

Polkast Offers You PC Access From Anywhere a la MotoCast, Only it Works on All Android Phones and Tablets

by: | posted 01.26.12 | Apps, News

One of my favorite features that Motorola has built into their newest versions of Blur is MotoCast. As someone that is on the go a fair amount, yet still needs access to files stored on my home computers, it has come in handy more than a few times. Since I have mostly migrated to the Galaxy Nexus as my daily driver for now, I have been looking for a decent alternative. A reader may have found it for me in an app called Polkast.

The service acts almost identical to MotoCast in that it takes minutes to setup on each of your computers and is then instantly accessible on your phone over WiFi or data. It defaults to pulling in your music, pictures, videos and documents folders from your computer, but adding in additional locations is super easy. It also has this “recent” section that recognizes a handful of your most recently added computer files, just in case you need to access one immediately.

While there are a few tweaks that I would offer the developers (like the ability to turn off the constant notification or cloud music playing without having to download), I’m impressed for the most part. Oh yeah, it’s also free.  

Blurwich Lock Screen Available for Those With GO Locker

by: | posted 01.26.12 | Apps, News

 

The lock screen from the leaked Ice Cream Sandwich build for the Motorola RAZR that snuck out yesterday has already been turned into a GO Locker theme. It will cost you a buck, but at least you can get a taste of Moto’s attempt at skinning Android 4.0 before it goes officially public. The developer also wants you to know that this is basically an “alpha” since it was based off of one photo.
