We’ve been amusing ourselves with a copy of Orange Pixel’s Mini Army on Android for the last week or two, a top-down war game which the maker seriously under sells as being a “Basically a Snake clone”.
It is a Snake clone, but one given a superb cartoon military design, reminiscent of the 16-bit glory days. You know, back when video games used to be interesting.
Your only controls are turning left and right to “collect” enemy soldiers. However, there’s a separate “Tactics” play mode where your little soldiers and the enemies have life bars over their heads, turning it into more of a cerebral challenge than a simple Snake remake.
Mini Army is also one of the new wave of OpenFeint enhanced titles, bringing an additional layer of stats, scores, Achievements and online leaderboards to it. It’s a very sweet and technically impressive little game that’s well worth a €0.99 punt.
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but…
The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
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?
