Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2012 Released Today on Android
Fans of the Tiger Woods PGA Tour golf series will find the 2012 edition of the game available on Android as of today. It's $4.99, let's you play as 8 different pros, features 20 mini-games, gives you the hottest PGA courses (aside from Augusta), and allows for friendly battles over WiFi. TW golf games are usually the best there are on consoles, but even I'll admit that I have yet to take one on through a mobile device. Should you take the plunge, be sure to let everyone know how it plays.
Motorola MotoActv Update 1.7.2 is Ready, Facebook and Twitter Integration Added
A new update has been made available today for owners of the Motorola MotoActv Fitness Watch. The update for those with the golf software is 1.7.2 and 1.7.3 for those without the golf goodness. So what's new? A bunch of stuff actually, including Facebook and Twitter integration.
Gameloft’s N.O.V.A. 3 comes to the Google Play Store
Gameloft promised they would bring the highly-anticipated N.O.V.A. 3 to Android in May, and they delivered on the last day of the month. If you want to play the best first-person shooter on Android, then head over to the Google Play Store and give Gameloft $6.99.
Android fans will be pleased to hear that most high-end devices are supported. That includes the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, ASUS Transformer Prime, Droid RAZR, Nexus S, Galaxy Tab 10.1, HTC EVO 4G LTE, and more. Surprisingly, the HTC One X (Tegra 3 and Snapdragon S4 versions) is not currently supported, but I expect Gameloft will be adding it soon.
Highlights of NOVA 3 include:
- An epic storyline: Humanity finally returns to Earth after years of exile! Fight in 10 immersive levels across the galaxy, from a war-torn Earth to a frozen Volterite city.
- Multiple weapons and powers: Run, shoot, drive vehicles, and pilot a mech to defeat hordes of enemies.
- Join 12-player battles in 6 multiplayer modes (Capture the Point, Free-for-All, Capture the Flag, etc.) on 6 different maps.
- For the first time, multiple allies can jump inside the same vehicle and spread destruction on the battlefield.
- Discover the new FPS benchmark for graphics and gameplay (real-time shadow & lights, particle system, ragdoll physics, etc.)
If your device supports this game and you are a fan of shooters, I'd highly recommend buying the game right now. Check out all the trailer videos below to see what you are missing out on.
N.O.V.A. 3 is Now Available on Android
N.O.V.A. 3, the newest member to Gameloft's increasingly popular first person shooter series, is available now on Android. With some of the more stunning graphics we have seen in a mobile game to date (at least in previews), this looks like another winner for one of mobile gaming's biggest players. The game itself runs $6.99, but before you attempt to buy, make sure that your device is compatible. I can tell you now that my Tegra 3-powered HTC One X has been left off of the list, yet devices like the Galaxy Nexus and DROID RAZR made the cut.

Pandora for Android Updated to be Compatible with “Upcoming Android OS”
After today's Pandora update, the app should now be compatible with an "upcoming Android OS." What exactly do they mean by that? Great question. With talk of the Nexus 7 tablet launching at Google I/O at the end of June along with the newest version of Android aka Jelly Bean, there is at least one answer to consider.
And if they don't mean Jelly Bean, then what do they mean?
