Oh, boy, here we go again. One man stranded on a spaceship? Been there. Hordes of Necromorphs? Done that. On Android? Well now, slow down there, Ace. Now we’re talking.

Yes, it’s finally happened. Electronics Arts has brought its shock-filled, gore-laden, space epic to Android, and man oh man, was it worth the wait. Dead Space has all the markings of a AAA title, and if it weren’t for the slightly  [Read More...]

Dead Space

When will Electronic Arts take Android seriously?

Taito Releases Space Invaders Infinity Gene

Taito, the guys behind the ridiculously popular Space Invaders, released a new iteration of the classic title on Android this week.  Called Space Invaders Infinity Gene, it’s an evolved version of the 1978 title, with an almost choose-your-own-adventure feel to it.  In other words, the more you play, the more the game changes.  What’s more, the further you get into the game, the more it falls in line with  [Read More...]

Android is no stranger to outer space. The Samsung Galaxy S II got out of this world in July. And back in December 2010, the Nexus S was rigged up to a weather balloon and sent into the atmosphere to test the Nexus’ on-board sensors.
