We have played a lot of zombies games and some of them have really blown us away with the level of realism packed inside. This is what Samurai vs Zombie is all about. An action-packed game with oodles of characters and wonderful surroundings.

The game was created by Glu Mobile, a developer that has joined the A-league of smartphone game developers long time ago. Since than, Glu has produced some of the most amazing game titles such as Frontline Commando, Blood & Glory, Guitar Hero, Gun Bros Multiplayer and many more. Samurai vs Zombie really sticks to the legacy of great gaming fan.

If you think about Samurai vs Zombie as a run of the mill mindless game, think again. The app has a certain feel to it which helps it to create a niche in the casual gaming segment. What Glu Mobile really achieves here is creating a game out-of-the-box without making it look like a mash up of their past titles.

Samurai vs Zombies defense puts players in the shoes of a heroic samurai who has sworn to defend the gates of his sacred village against the oncoming horde of brain-dead attackers. That onslaught just happens to be coming from swarms of zombies who are hungry for some samurai bite. Game graphics are really neat with some really nice visuals thrown in here and there, keeping in mind the Freemium legacy of Glu Mobile.

The controls of the game are the definition of simplicity. Hold to the left of the screen to go left and hold the right for right. Players are blessed with additional power-ups and ability to call in reinforcements that sit on the bottom of the screen and can be commanded with a single touch.

Players are not left to their own fate for defeating the brain-dead junkies. Aside from being armed with a bow and arrow and a powerful sword, players also have full ability to seek help in the form of summonable samurais that will join in their fight. Archers, swordsmen, warriors, and eventually even riflemen and heroes on horseback will come to help.

Overall, the game is full of action, adventure, hack-and-slash, fast-paced gameplay, awesome visuals so-on and so-forth. It is a freemium app and hence the need of integrating in-app purchases was a must for Glu, but interestingly players need not make any in-app purchase to smoothly glide through in-game levels. A very big boon to enjoy this marvel of a game.

In the past week, we have seen a spur in the rise of casual gaming, but at the end of the day, developers do bow down to the hardcore HD gaming fanatics. Well, so this is it, Overkill. This game is a premium game without any lousy price tags. It is free, yes, once you have played and experienced the game, you would probably whack yourself in order to believe it.

Developed by Craneballs Studios, makers of the highly rated SuperRope, Overkill is a class apart compared to that. It is violent, brutal, tricky, visually appealing, intuitive and with large number of customization options. The game has been around for quite awhile on iOS and finally it makes a landing on Android.

In-game, players take the role of a mercenary, ready to kill everyone who acts as an obstacle in his way. The game is packed with enemies whose difficulty levels range from easy to downright tough. So in the first wave the enemies die with just one shot from a not-so-powerful weapon, but once the tougher enemies appear then even 3 shots from a fully equipped gun do little damage.

There are 5 venues where the missions take place, each venue tougher than the previous. Also, each venue has a set of 20 different waves that get harder on the player with the progress. If you are successful in clearing out all the 20 waves, then the game throws up a 'Hell Wave' which in my books is 'one crazy level'.

Overkill scores the extra brownie points thanks to the guns available in-game. Every shooter will drool over the arsenal available, the war machines range from M4, MP7, HK 417, and the P90 to name a few. The buck does not stop here, as players have the full option to customize these babies to their hearts content. The guns are unlocked as you attain higher levels. Each gun can be equipped with better advancements, add-ons, scope, barrels, cartridge, and frontmouth.

Being a free game, Overkill also supports itself via in-app purchases, but here they are not forced. I could cross the first mission after equipping my gun fully without any in-app purchases whatsoever. To unlock heavy-duty guns, OM Medals are required and some of them can be acquired for free by just completing offers.

Overall, Overkill is a killer game with true HD graphics and a great gameplay system. Finally it is time for Android users to go on an 'Overkill'.

No game can be this simple, so as the levels go by, the hoop also starts to move from left-to-right and slowly the pace increases with a time-crunch playing the devil.

Overall, the game is highly lovable and sure deserves an applause for the simplicity it has to offer in a no-nonsense package. Truly a great time killer for Android.

Developed by Pumpkin Studios and published byEidos, this game is worth the time invested in total gameplay. It was originally released as a commercial offering for Windows PC and Playstation in 1999, but on December 6, 2004, the source code and most of the data was published under the GNU (General Public License). This made all gamers around the globe very, very happy.

The game puts players in the midst of the 21st Century, when almost the entire civilization has been wiped out due to nuclear strikes. Most of the survivors encountered are organized in groups in order to fight-for-survival with all their might; among them one group called themselves "The Project". The Project is formed by people who have undertaken the job of rebuilding their civilization using pre-war technology.

Coming to the most important aspect and that being Gameplay, Warzone 2100 is very fluid and has a very nice touch to it on the whole (using the iViS 3D graphics engine developed by Sam Kerbeck of Eidos Interactive Ltd. ).The game world is mapped by a grid, vehicles tilt to meet hilly terrain, gun projectiles can be realistically blocked by steep mountains. The camera is free-moving and can zoom in and out, rotate, and pan up or down while navigating the battlefield, making the whole gameplay feel great and easy to navigate.

The game is one of the best open-source games available in the gaming scene now.

There are times when Blackberry users complain on being the most ignored platform, as far as games and fun apps go. Well, it is quite true that the Blackberry OS stands nowhere in competition with iOS and Android in terms of games. So, here we have an exclusive Blackberry offering, called Finger Trap.

Developed by Tafasa, who already have quite a few casual games under-their-belt, Finger Trap should certainly please all of the Blackberry boys looking for some casual gaming fun.

Finger Trap is as simple a game can get and can be deemed as a complete no-brainer. Players need to hold a small red box and help it dodge the oncoming blue boxes. Its like saying 1-2-3. Wow, if only life was this simple. Basically, the game puts the players reflexes into the test while protecting the red box.

The game supports three modes 1) Regular Mode - where the blue boxes simply bounce and move in a very predictable manner, 2) Wild Mode - where the boxes go completely crazy changing direction every few seconds in a random order, and 3) Random Start - where the boxes start moving in a random direction with every new game, either towards the red box or away from the red box.

Other features in-game are three difficulty levels: normal, hard and crazy; ability to randomize block starting directions; online game score submission; local high scores according to difficulty and game mode, and a clean User-Interface.

Overall, the game is very playable and can be the worthy contender to Brick Breaker (the most popular and highly rated Blackberry game at present). The only downside with the game would be it being touchscreen specific. So its only the recent Blackberry OS7 lineup and the Blackberry Storm series owner, that would be able to enjoy this arcade enjoyment.

Created by Pankaku Inc., this developer is no new kid-on-the-block as far as iOS is concerned and has quite a few apps under its belt. The developer releases new versions of the app in series and that is something commendable. So instead of just releasing minor updates, a revamped version will always make the users smile.

The game-play is very simple and does not take much time getting used to. The new version has a Jump mode added, which increases the pace of the game by leaps and bounds and manages to immerse the player in the game. Visually, LightBike 2 is highly appealing and will be treat for every gamer who drools on HD graphics.

The ability is like a huge boost, that will help a player gain an edge over the competition. 'Abilities' include Turbo Boost, Rocket Jump, Protector, Stealth, Slow Down, Air Turn, Double Jump, Fast Charge, All Jump and All Boost. Wow, that is quite a number of abilities to help you win!

If you are one of those competitive junkies with a hunger for outdoing your foe then Stardunk is a perfect game for you. Developed by Godzilab, it comes with a heady mix of action, great graphics, concentration, and rivals from all corners of the globe.

In the game, you are situated in the Milky-Way and your prime objective is to dunk the basketball in the net. No players, no basketball courts. Just a basketball, a net and your fingers to slay the competition.

The points are given on the basis of how clean the shot through the hoop is made; there are four rectangles that lit up with every basket. When all the four rectangles light up, a bonus action kicks-in. This bonus action is determined by the particular ball and its attributes in the game-play.

As the game progresses, players have the opportunity to unlock more than 20 unique balls, each with its own capabilities and attributes. Furthermore, players can also go ahead and create their own custom basketballs with amazing new visuals.

Graphics will be the talking point of the game and it is true eye-candy with the numeral different backgrounds available for in-gameplay. Stardunk connects the player with thousands of online players and compares scores in real-time. Game-play is really simple and largely dependent on your angle calculation skills for basketing the ball perfectly. The game bears a very close resemblance to iBasket for iOS, but nevertheless holds its own ground.

Competitiveness of Stardunk does not stop on Android, the game is also available on the iOS platform. The iOS platform has both, a free version and a paid version for $1.99, which eliminates in-game advertisements. A big drawback for me was to sign up for Plus+ to play online with the absence of Facebook connectivity. Though its a minor issue and it can be lived with.

The entire game objective might be repetitive, but it is the global competition scene that will surely keep users hooked for endless arcade gaming fun. So players, its time to go to war.

Here we have another little gem for the old-time gamers; a full-fledged 2D action called God of Thunder. The game takes on a very minimalist approach when it comes to the visuals and comes with no 3D realism thrown-in. It is simply meant to be played and enjoyed.

Developed by Adept Software, the game is on the lines of the Greek Norse God, Thor. This is a top-view game created by Ron Davies and published by Software Creations, way back in 1993.

The games follows the path of Thor, to reclaim the Midgard (Greek Norse mythological land of Odin) for his father. To complete the entire adventurous journey, Thor is blessed with the mythical hammer Njolnir. The progress of the game is heavily dependent on the numerous puzzle-solving and the slash fighting techniques.

The game puts the players in various situations, such as, countryside, sneaking past city guards, and finally entering the resting place of different Gods. Like many old-time classic games, even here, Thor gains additional powers with progress and even the hammer and armors get various upgrades when he is able to defeat one of the three nemesis. Players are also watched by Odin throughout the game, so if the hammer strikes an innocent bystander, Thor gets a disapproval by the king of the gods, Mjolnir.

God of Thunder have different nuances as well, with very well thought tounge-in-cheek humor thrown-in. It features several references to the Marvel Comics book character Thor, with the idea of the Odinsleep, Loki's costume and a quick mention that Thor should have his own comic book.

Overall, a classic game which might/will not appeal to the younger generations, but for those who grew on the Windows 93 PC will just relish this offering and delight in the gameplay.

P.S - The license agreement of the game allows for one copy for personal use and one for backup only. The software is protected by United States copyright laws and international treaty provisions, and users cannot lease, sell, distribute or copy the "look and feel" of the game.
