			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I hear the words Need for Speed, only one thing comes to mind - one of the best racing games. And it has come to Android in the form of Need for Speed: Shift, from <a href="http://www.ea.com/" target="_blank">Electronic Arts</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-1354"></span></p>
<p>The premise is simple: Go fast. Turn left, or right. Hit the brakes if you have to. I&#8217;ve spent a few minutes with the game, now available from the Android Market for $4.99. Download the app and fire it up, and you&#8217;ll be prompted to download the rest of the game data. That took just a couple minutes over Wi-Fi.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll be introduced to a tutorial track first, where you&#8217;re alone on the road. That&#8217;s nice for getting a feel for the steering, and it took just a couple of laps to get the hang of things. You turn by tilting the phone left or right, and brake by pressing anywhere on the screen. You can change the difficulty and enable manual transmission, disable driving assist and braking, if you want.</p>
<p>You start out with two cars from which to choose &#8211; a Volkswagen Golf GTI and Mazda RX-8. As is the norm with games like this, you can purchase other cars and upgrades for existing cars as you win races and earn cash. The graphics are top-notch, as you&#8217;d expect from EA, and the soundtrack is as well. Depending on the device, you might well blow an eardrum. This one is well worth the $5 even if you&#8217;re only a casual fan of racing games.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rovio, the famously independent maker of Angry Birds, has popped up one amazing statistic on its Twitter feed – the fact that SEVEN MILLION Android users have downloaded the Android version of the game since it launched a few weeks ago.</p>
<p><span id="more-1295"></span></p>
<p>That means that they are making a lot of money via the advertisements. This was thought to be a strange move considering they charge for it on other platforms but as you can seem, it is making them a lot of money and a lot of new users. Take a look at their tweet in the feature image.</p>

<p>Finally! One of the best iPhone games is now available on Android. Those who saw or played this game know what I’m talking about. And if you have not tried it yet, you should download it immediately.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">

<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.droid.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Angry-Birds-intro.jpg"></a><a href="http://www.droid.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Angry-Birds-levels.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-997" title="Angry Birds levels" src="http://www.droid.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Angry-Birds-levels-300x168.jpg" alt="Angry Birds levels" width="300" height="168" /></a><br />
The game is quite simple. Mean green pigs stole birds eggs. Birds have decided to return them at any cost, including the cost of their own lives. You play the role of a navigator, directing birdies on the target. Have a look at the screenshots for details.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.droid.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Angry-Birds-game.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-998" title="Angry Birds game" src="http://www.droid.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Angry-Birds-game-300x168.jpg" alt="Angry Birds game" width="300" height="168" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.droid.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Angry-Birds-game.jpg"></a><a href="http://www.droid.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Angry-Birds-pigs.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-999" title="Angry Birds pigs" src="http://www.droid.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Angry-Birds-pigs-300x168.jpg" alt="Angry Birds pigs" width="300" height="168" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.droid.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Angry-Birds-pigs.jpg"></a><br />
Few words about how it works on Android phones, in particular on Nexus One. The game utilises full screen of the device, so you will not see any black bars or other artifacts. I doubt that they will appear on <a href="http://www.droid.net.au/2010/03/htc-desire-video/">HTC Desire</a> or <a href="http://www.droid.net.au/2010/02/htc-legend/">Legend</a>, so it should all be good. I couldn’t see any obvious issues with the performance, game levels get loaded quite quickly. Angry Little Birds has great sound effects and if I remember correctly, there isn’t much difference from that of the iPhone. This also applies to the graphics, by the way. The beta version is limited to 15 levels, which you will pass very quickly. I could not see any major bugs or glitches, so let&#8217;s hope that the full version will be released soon. Once you pass all 15 levels you will receive an offer to buy the full version of the game, but the link leads to a subscription page on manufacturer’s website, not to the actual game.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.droid.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Angry-Birds-final.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1000" title="Angry Birds final" src="http://www.droid.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Angry-Birds-final-300x168.jpg" alt="Angry Birds final" width="300" height="168" /></a></p>
<p>This is a great game, and I can’t wait for the full version to become available. Highly recommended!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.droid.net.au/2010/02/abduction/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-311" title="Abduction!" src="http://www.droid.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Anduction-199x300.png" alt="Abduction!" width="199" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>This game is simple as two pennies, but it doesn’t affect its quality in any way or form. Simple and straightforward games should also be given the opportunity to show themselves. Let’s see what Abduction! has to offer.</p>
<p>The game is about a cow. The poor animal is forced to jump from platform to platform, so that in the end good aliens save it from the agony and take to the galaxy far far away.</p>
<p><span id="more-310"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.droid.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Abduction-level-selection1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-316" title="Abduction! " src="http://www.droid.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Abduction-level-selection1-199x300.jpg" alt="Abduction!" width="199" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>There are several game modes available. The simplest of these is the Quick Play. This mode does not have a final goal: just jump and try not to drop the cow. You get points for each successful jump. If the cow dies, you can either save your result online or on your phone.</p>
<p>Other animals are periodically parachuted down – your goal is to collect as many of them as possible, as you get bonus points for each animal. You can also collect some additional gifts or bonuses – for example, extra life or additional platform, or even a higher jump.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.droid.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Abduction-game-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-313" title="Abduction! game " src="http://www.droid.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Abduction-game-1-199x300.jpg" alt="Abduction! game " width="199" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Behind the Abduction! World Attack button you will find the main game modes that are available in the demo version. In the first of these modes, called Adventure, we strive to jump higher and higher level after level. Locations change, but you have the same goal &#8211; jump higher and higher. Your progress is shown on a little strip. Thanks to this strip it is quite easy to determine how much more you have to jump to be picked up by a UFO.</p>
<p>Challenge mode offers a time challenge. You will need to reach the top in a limited time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.droid.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Anduction-menu.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-314" title="Anduction! menu" src="http://www.droid.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Anduction-menu-199x300.png" alt="Anduction! menu" width="199" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>In the settings you can calibrate the accelerometer, and enable or disable sound and vibration. You can also adjust the graphics/speed ration by moving a slider.</p>
<p>Game has a very cute, cartoonish graphics. Gameplay is quite interesting and a bit addictive. So we can say that the game achieves its main purpose &#8211; to entertain you for some time. Have a pleasant time with jumping cows.</p>
