THAT is the boast made to us in an email from the developer of Rico, which is a retro-styled platform game for Android. To be honest, we can’t really be bothered downloading it to check it out, but it DOES look quite nice and we have no reason to doubt the claims of the maker.
Here’s what it looks like. Rico falls into the category of games where the developer has tried really hard to make it look like he hasn’t tried very hard at all, if that makes sense:
Lovely. There’s a free trial version called Rico Lite out there, or you can go berserk, trust the man and splash out £1.27 on the full version.
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?

He got me a spot in his blog, that’s more than I can ask for. :-)
@Artem, can the Android Police “be bothered” to try it out?

/ September 9, 2012Did Android Police writer Jeremiah Rice download and install the app then visit Disneyland when compiling his news piece about My Disney Experience? Or do you think he just looked at the Play Store listing and rewrote what it said in five minutes?

/ September 9, 2012Don’t worry Gary, I for one find your lethargy and jaded cynicism to be a breath of fresh air.

/ September 9, 2012That’s OK, some American tourists just stumbled into our local pub and got a little confused about chips and crisps.

/ September 9, 2012There must be other android stuff that is more worthy of a slot here?

/ September 10, 2012There may well be other stuff but this is pretty much the only Android site I always read. You know Gary will cover everything that is important, will always give you an honest opinion and inevitably always applies his b@ll&cks’o'meter.
