It’s been a while since we last updated our ‘Best Games’ listing, mainly because we’ve been stuck playing nothing but the amazing Flight Director and a bit busy reviewing apps and all that sort of serious stuff.
However, then came Red Stone.
Like about 98% of Android games, Red Stone is based around moving coloured blocks about the screen. The twist here is you’ve got to shuffle the FAT KING SQUARE up past all its smaller pawn squares, through to an exit at the top. It’s a simple idea.
But it’s very, very hard to do. You’ll be shuffling away on some of the game’s later puzzles for hours at a time, with the game conveniently saving your progress on each puzzle whenever you turn it off in a BIG SULK at how tough it is.
And if it gets too hard, the game points you in the direction of some solutions on the Android Market. We’re yet to try those, as that’s CHEATING. Although we’re starting to suspect that Stone 10 is actually impossible.
And that’s that. If you like very slow-paced brain-teasers, it’s ideal. And it’s free. Go check it out over at the maker’s enjoyably-translated site.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
