Three months after it made a massive splash on iOS, Nintendo’s mobile side-scroller game Super Mario Run finally has a release time frame on Android. The company confirmed, via its Twitter account, that the game will be released sometime in March 2017 in the Google Play Store.

It’s been a bit of a long wait for Android fans to get their hands on the latest Mario game from Nintendo. Super Mario Run launched worldwide in mid-December for iOS and it generated 40 million downloads in just its first four days in the App Store. The excitement for the game has gone down since then, but a launch on Android should help boost those overall download numbers.
The game itself has you controlling Mario in an endless running style of gameplay through a number of 2D worlds that will seem both familiar and new to fans of the Super Mario Bros. console series. You can play part of the game for free but you will have to spend $9.99 to unlock all of its content. You can pre-register for Super Mario Run right now at the link below so you can get informed when it launches.

Nintendo also plan to launch another mobile game, the fantasy tactical-RPG Fire Emblem: Heroes, on Android in about two weeks, on Feb. 2.

Facebook Messenger just got a whole new set of games on the app. If you’re worried about the return of Farmville, don’t; playing ‘Pac-Man’ with your friends is now an option on Facebook Messenger. Basketball and football were already available as an option, but it looks like Facebook is adding a lot more games in order to cash in on the fun.

In an official announcement on the Facebook Newsroom, the company says, “Messenger is just got way more… competitive” The post reads, “So when you’re looking for a reason to connect with your best friend who lives on the other side of the world, you can kick off a round of Words with Friends: Frenzy; or try again to beat your roommate at PAC-MAN just once…”

Games available include classics such as “Space Invaders” and “Galaga,” as well as newer titles like
“Words With Friends.” It’s the latest effort by the world’s biggest social network to get people to spend even more time on its properties.

So how can you play these? Facebook Messenger app once updated will have a game controller icon just below the box where you type messages. Tap on the icon, and pick a game that you wish to play. After you finish a round, your friend or friends in that conversation will see your score and can challenge you back. Facebook says people can also discover games within the Messenger search field, or on Facebook News Feed where they can play solo as well.

Facebook Messenger has a over 1 billion monthly users, and the addition of new games will only increase engagement and time-spent on the app. The app will also recommend games based on whether your friends are playing some titles as well. Thankfully you don’t have to worry about gaming requests from strangers in the Messenger app, as you can only play these with your friends.

Facebook is calling this feature “Instant Games,” and it will go live in 30 countries, with 17 titles. For Facebook, ensuring that it continues to dominate the messaging scene is crucial given the rise of new apps like Snapchat, etc. Facebook has been copying Snapcht’s features like Stories, Disappearing message, filters, etc quite aggressively. But the ‘Instant Games’ bit is something that the social media giant managed to capitalise on, and will no doubt be a hit with users especially for ‘Pac-man’ fans.

Gameloft is making plans to launch Asphalt Xtreme, a new spinoff of the publisher’s highly popular Asphalt mobile racing game franchise. The free-to-play title will be released in the very near future for Android gamers in the Google Play Store. Ironically, the “Asphalt” part of the game’s title is a bit of a misnomer, as this spinoff is all about off-road racing; in other words, there’s no asphalt to be seen in the game. Early screenshots and trailers show that it will feature a variety of rally cars, monster trucks, dirt buggies and more off-road vehicles. The game looks like it will feature a number of different locations for its tracks, from deep forests to the deserts of Egypt (complete with pyramids and other ruins).

Gameloft has yet to announce a specific launch date for Asphalt Xtreme, but interested gamers can go ahead and pre-register at its official website. They will be able to snag some bonus in-game content, including the Predator X-18 Intimator dirt buggy. They will also get alerted when the game makes its official debut in the Google Play Store.



Gameloft’s latest racer, Asphalt Extreme, is nearing its Windows Phone and Windows 10 release, with the private beta of the app showing up in the Windows Store. Have you Pre Registered yet!?

Nintendo revealed today its New Nintendo 3DS system, an upcoming version of the 3DS hardware that features a second stick built in, in addition to new shoulder buttons.
The new system was confirmed today during the Japanese Nintendo Direct. The New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS LL feature a smaller analog "nub" above the A, B, X and Y buttons. Likewise, existing buttons have been colored to match the old-school SNES controller.
The hardware will also arrive with new shoulder buttons which will be situated next to the existing ZL and ZR buttons. Check out a front-on view below.
  Additionally, the system will features a better CPU than previous models, according to Nintendo, which allows for faster eShop browsing and downloading. The New Nintendo 3DS' more powerful internals will be used for at least one game, Xenoblade Chronicles, which is being developed exclusively for the updated hardware.
It is also set to come with a built-in NFC on the bottom touchscreen for the upcoming launch of the amiibo NFC figures, while sliding custom covers will also come with the device, allowing owners to customize the hardware. Nintendo also claims that stereoscopic 3D will also be better than it was in previous devices.

Both models are scheduled to launch in Japan on Oct. 11.
We've reached out to Nintendo for details of a North American release; however, the company has already confirmed no New Nintendo 3DS system will launch for North America or Europe this calendar year.

Quite an old post, But for all Pokemon fans out there! You can now play the famous creature-collecting game on your Android device. The game is not available from the Google Play Store, but many hardcore fans use Gameboy and DS emulators just to play Pokémon. Gameboy versions of Pokémon are light enough to work well on Android devices.

Part 1: Getting An Emulator:

Determine which version of Pokémon you want to play. There are many different versions of Pokémon that have been released for all of the different Gameboys over the years. You will need a different emulator depending on which version you want to play.

  • Red, Blue, Green, Yellow - Original Gameboy or Gameboy Color emulator
  • Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, LeafGreen - Gameboy Advance emulator
  • Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver, Black, White, Black 2, White 2 - Nintendo DS emulator
  • X, Y - Not currently possible
Find the right emulator. Once you have determined which version you want to play, you will need to download the right emulator. This program pretends to be the Gameboy system on your Android device, allowing you to run ripped versions of the game (called ROMs). Below are some of the more popular emulators available on Android, though this list is not exhaustive:
  • Gameboy/Gameboy Color - GBCoid
  • Gameboy Advance - GBAoid or John GBA Lite
  • Nintendo DS - DraStic
Check the system requirements. Before downloading an emulator, ensure that your phone meets the system requirements for the app. Some of the newer emulators such as DraStic may only run on newer devices. All apps will post their system requirements in the App Description.

Install the emulator. Different emulators have different installation methods, but generally it's pretty straightforward. John GBA Lite and DraStic can be installed from the Play Store, but GBCoid and GBAoid need to be downloaded from a browser and installed manually:

  • Open your device's Settings menu.
  • Tap Security.
  • Check the "Unknown sources" box.
  • Download the emulator from its website, or copy the APK file onto your Android device from your computer.
  • Find the APK file on your device using a File Explorer app. Tap it to install the app.
Download the Gameboy Advance BIOS file. If you are installing a Gameboy Advance emulator, you will need to download a separate BIOS file. This file is not included for legal reasons, but can easily be found online by searching for "gba_bios.bin"
  • Place this BIOS file somewhere on your phone that is easy to find. It is recommended that you place it in the same folder that you will be placing your ROM files in.
  • You will be asked to locate the BIOS file when you start your Gameboy Advance emulator for the first time.
Part 2: Downloading A Pokemon Rom:

Find a ROM site. There are a variety of sites online that allow you to download ROM files for various Gameboy games. These sites vary in legality, and many of the shadier ones may be littered with popups and scams, so make sure that you downlaod from a more trusted site, such as www.coolrom.com.

  • You can use the browser on your mobile phone to download the ROM files, or you can download them on your computer and then copy them onto your phone.
Browse for the Pokémon game you want. Find the section of the website that contains the Pokémon game you want to get. For example, if you want Pokémon Black, you'll need to find the Nintendo DS section. If you want Sapphire, find the Gameboy Advance section.

Download the ROM. If you are using your mobile browser, download the ROM .zip file onto your device. If you are using your computer, download it and then transfer it to your mobile device.


Place the ROM in a dedicated folder. You may find it easier to collect all of your ROM files in one place, especially if you are downloading multiple games. You can use a file manager app on your phone to move the files to a dedicated folder, or you can plug your device into your computer and use Windows Explorer to move files around.


Part 3: Playing The Pokemon Game:


Open your emulator. Depending on which emulator you chose, the process for opening ROMs may vary. Some emulators will ask you to browse for the ROM immediately when you launch the emulator, others you will need to tap "Load ROM" or "Open".

  • Some emulators such as GBAoid will prompt you for your ROM folder location. This is when having all of your ROMs in one location will make things much easier.
Select your game. After the app completes its search, the list of games you have downloaded will appear on the menu. To play, simply tap on the name and the game will start automatically.

Start playing. Most emulators will place virtual buttons on the touchscreen that emulate the physical directional pad and buttons on a Gameboy. Use these to control just as you would on a real Gameboy. Many emulators allow you to choose where these buttons appear, or allow you to connect another controller via Bluetooth.


This is not only for Android, If you wish to play Pokemon on your PC, Download Visual Boy Advance Emulator.

There's a place in Minecraft called the Far Lands. It's the point where the game's code, which builds each world procedurally, starts to collapse under the weight of its own sums, breaks apart and glitches out.P
The New Yorker has a great interview with Kurt J. Mac, a man who is trying to walk to this point, the end of Minecraft's world. He started his quest in March 2011, and is still going.P
The sad/amazing part is that we know how far away the Far Lands are, at least in Kurt's build of the game (newer versions of the game have had the "feature" removed). From the point at which you start your game, they're 12,000km away. In his three years of walking, Kurt has travelled 700km. He's...got some walking ahead of him.P
He'll never get there, but that's not the point. The point is the journey, which he's documenting on YouTube (and raising money for charity with!) as a sort of wandering podcast, each one not just a story of his travels, but an example of the crazystories that can come out of playing Minecraft.

God of war is  loosely based on Greek mythology, and is set in Ancient Greece. The player controls the protagonist Kratos, the new God of War who has killed the former, Ares. Kratos is betrayed by Zeus, the King of the Olympian Gods, who strips him of his godhood. Slowly dragged to the Underworld, he is saved by the Titan Gaia who instructs him to find the Sisters of Fate, who will allow him to travel back in time, avert his betrayal, and change his destiny.
God of War II has been regarded as one of the best PlayStation 2 games and action games of all time. The game has sold more than 4.2 million copies worldwide as of June 2012, and was the best-selling game in the UK during the week of its release.

With the new consoles on the imminent horizon it seems a goodtime to think about what I’d like to see in next gen games, which in turn got me thinking about the factors I find most annoying in games today. Here are my top Five most annoying gaming features:

Number 5-Bad Cameras:
Great games are completely Unplayable because of bad Camera Angles. No matter wether you Play with a Keyboard or a Joystick, the cameras always sucks in Games like Batman Vengeance. Because of bad Camera angles in some Games you lose your precious hard Battles that are completed.

Number 4 – Unskippable cut-scenes:
When you reload you are forced to rewatch the cut scene that you’ve seen already, why can’t I skip it!? I’m here to play the game not be bored for five minutes whilst I watch a poorly scripted and non interactive animated movie. I get the feeling that half of the game developers out there would rather be making films. The reboot of Mortal Kombat was the worst offender; I never managed to complete the story mode as I couldn’t face watching the cut scenes again, and again, and again.

Grand Theft Auto V was developed by more than 1,000 people across multiple Rockstar Games studios, Rockstar North president Leslie Benzies told Develop in a new interview.
Benzies said production on "giant" Rockstar titles--like GTAV or Red Dead Redemption--is no longer handled by one studio alone, but rather multiple internal studios working in tandem.
"That's the way we work now--everyone works on GTA, or Red Dead, and so on, then we move on to the next thing," Benzies said. "Now that it takes 1,000 people to make a game; that's a requirement. But we don't want 1,000 in one place."
Asked if it took 1,000 people to develop GTAV, Benzies said, "It's probably more. Much more." Rockstar North's headcount alone is 365 people.

If you are tierd of choosing between PSP and A 3DS, Rejoice gamers on the go, it's time to draw a line in the sand and decide which handheld video game system rules supreme. Is it Sony's workhorse, the PSP, or Nintendo's juggernaut, the 3DS?


The PSP has been around since 2005 and has sold millions of units since its debut. The Nintendo 3DS launched in March 2011. While 3DS sales have been impressive, they fell short of Nintendo's original projections. But which system is better?
The Nintendo 3DS boasts a glasses-free 3-D screen. You can adjust the 3-D effect with a sliding control and even turn it off if you prefer. The 3DS also comes with some augmented reality games built into the system. It's compatible with older DS games, although those games will only play in 2-D. Some gamers might feel a little queasy after playing with the 3-D and augmented reality games.
But the PSP has two advantages over the 3DS: It's significantly cheaper and it has an enormous library of games. As of this writing, the 3DS will cost you around $250, while the PSP is at a more modest $130. There aren't many games out for the 3DS. Sure, you can boot up your old DS games on the system but is that worth the $250 price tag?
So which system reigns supreme, the workhorse PSP or the new kid on the block, the 3DS? For my money, the PSP is more compelling. The price is lower, there's a huge selection of games and I don't feel like I've been sailing across choppy waters after playing for more than 15 minutes. But what's your take?

If you are thinking of buying a new computer for gaming, think twice, Because Gaming Consoles rule here.So Why would people buy a game console instead of a computer? There are several reasons:
  • A video game console is less expensive than a tricked-out computer designed to run video games. Current generation consoles cost between $200 to $500, whereas a fully-loaded gaming computer can cost more than $10,000.
  • Consoles tend to load games faster than most PCs -- expensive gaming computer rigs are the exception, of course.
  • Video game systems are designed to be part of your entertainment system. This means that they are easy to connect to your TV and stereo.
  • There are no compatibility issues, such as operating system, DirectX drivers, correct audio card, supported game controller, resolution and so on.
  • Game developers know exactly what components are in each system, so games are written to take full advantage of the hardware.
  • The degree of technical knowledge required to set up and use it is much lower. Most game consoles are truly "plug and play."
  • Most video game systems have games that allow multiple players. This is a difficult process with a typical home computer.
So, which one would you prefer? Comment your thoughts below. Hope you enjoyed this post. Subscribe for more posts straight on your inbox.
