Two More Android Games on the Horizon that Look Awesome!

With the last post about Shadowgun, that led me to doing a little more research on other games coming to Android soon.  To see if there were any others that stood out.  Anything that looked unique and looked like something for a guy who is tired of playing with angry birds and cutting ropes.  And I must go on record to say, I am really impressed with what has been accomplished by these developers using the Unity engine.  Both Shadowgun and Bladeslinger are built ontop of Unity and they look beautiful.  Remeber when Epic released their tech demo (and later game called Infinity Blade) build using their Unreal engine.  It was gorgeous.  And I am glad that Android gamers are getting a bite of serious games, not just cute time wasters.


Bladeslinger

The first game that caught my eye, and being a new game altogether.  It takes place in a science-fiction, western settings.  Luma Arcade is bringing us Bladeslinger and is also based on the Unity engine.  And it looks pretty cool.  We have cowboys and mutants in saloon fights.  How awesome is that?







The second game to jump out at me is actually a flash back in time to 2001.  When a simple story of a jaded detective hit our game consoles.  That detective being the one and only: Max Payne.  Rockstar Games is undoubtedly using the opportunity to promote their upcoming (and long awaited sequel to the Max Payne franchise) Max Payne 3.  Not much else is known about Max's mobile debute other than it will be an HD version of the original title.  So it looks like the imminent return of Max Payne's 'Poop Face' will be making his Android debut soon!
