Well fortunately the developer Door-6 knows what a bunch of lazy dorks we all are, and decided to capitalize on this by creating a game that will allow you to win CASH prizes, starting April 1st and ending at the end of May. So for the time being you're going to have to put down your Homerun Battle 3D, and pick up Vacuum, now available on the Market for $1.99. I blogged about this sometime ago, but now we are actually seeing this come to life for real.
Here's what the developer has to say:
“Navigate through a perilous, asteroid-filled obstacle course, and compete for the top score and cash prizes! The first contest runs April 1 to May 31 and features prizes of $500, $250, and $100 (USD) for the top three competitors! “We appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoy Vacuum: The Global Competition!”
Below we have a video of the game, which reminds me of a rudimentary Starfox for SNES type graphics engine. I'm not sure what the Vegas odds are for money return, but to me it's worth a shot for the cost of a Starbucks coffee...well maybe a soda or something...Droid owners don't wear Birkenstocks, go to Starbucks, or drive Toyota Priuses - that's for iPhone users. Anyhow:
Before we had a video with just 50 games. Now as the Droid gains such an incredible market share, we now have doubled this is such a short period of time. I bring to you (courtesy of AndroidTapp) 100 video games (for those that complain that the iPhone has better games):
We all have seen the article about how Apple users are more likely to be playing games and searching for games than Droid users. I'm actually trying to find a copy of the article for you, but I think the reason they are playing more games is clear:
iPhone users are on the abyssmal AT&T network. And since they can't consistently surf the web, check their email, text message, or make phone calls with any sort of consistency, they have to resort to playing games and listening to music.
So in response to that article I want to hook you up with a video that shows you 50 games in two minutes that you can download and enjoy on your Droid.
Keep your eyes peeled for this upcoming game on the Market...sources on Phandroid say that starting March 15th the developer is going to start offering cash prizes! So practice often when it comes out...so at least you can get some money for your Droid addiction :)
I'll keep you guys updated when I see it come out.
This is the sequel to the hot game for the iPhone and Droid from 2008 'Raging Thunder' (obviously). Here are some of the features from the game:
Raging Thunder 2 features:
* Six single player game modes: Career, Arcade, Single Race, Time Attack, Survival, Instant Race * Online or local, cross-platform multiplayer with pre and post-race chat * Choose from a fleet of tuner cars with the ability to upgrade wheels, body, wings, and engine * Multiple upgrade options for each area with visual enhancements * Ten beautiful, varied and animated track environments with tons of hidden shortcuts * Stunning, console quality 3D graphics using OpenGL 2.0
Word is that it could show up on the Market at any time, but as of 930pm EST it isn't there yet. For those of you always saying that there aren't any games available for the Droid...bite your tongue! I'm not a racing genre fan but I'll definitely try this out when it comes out.
If you haven't played hrb3d yet, you're missing out. Quite possibly one of the most addicting games on the Droid, you can find it for 4.99 on the market. Think of it as one of those addicting games your co-workers send you to keep you distracted instead of working.
Just to give you an idea of how addicting it is, I hate baseball. I am much more a hockey fan and yet I'm still addicted. If you want to match up online for some competition, add me to your rival list: MJ110607
My mom is in the hospital right now and so I have been logging quite a few hours playing this game during my down time.
