Must Have Android Apps and Games?

Mr E · 2009-08-21 18:21:14

Some of my favourites (looking for more recommendations!). We're stuck to free apps and games at the moment...... No point in linking to anything since they must be downloaded from the market, so I'll just name them. Astrid: Great task manager that is very persistant if you keep hitting snooze!

You'll need a dual-core blower to run MikuMikuStudio Tiny AR well. It also runs on all the other desktop platforms. I wish I could change the music though.

What in the???
I dont get this at all...

And you can change music by pressing the change music button...

You are right! Pro tip: press the screen to start and stop the music and dancing. There is not much point in changing music as the model only dances to the original song. Looks like you have to create your own dance routine on the desktop as a vmd file.

I still don't get the point of it. Is it an anime reference or something?

The default model is Hatsune Miku, a character invented to embody the Vocaloid vocal synthesizer, which is used in Japanese pop. So you get concerts in which this girl is actually the main performer, via holograms and suchlike. This program on the desktop must be used to make the dance routines.

You must have noticed that you can tilt the screen to look at her from different angles? That's what makes it different than a simple video overlay. It's the typical Japanese fascination with simulation , like robotics and karaoke. It sure beats Cliff Richard and Robbie Williams

maybe this has been mentioed but I got "Another World" its a 20th anniversary of a game I remember playing when I was young. If you're from my generation (Sege Mega Drives and Amiga's) then you might remember this.

In the course of reading Wikipedia about Another World I discovered another game by the same developers, Flashback, something I played on my Mega Drive, so I got it on a Mega Drive emulator for Android. Now I'm totally addicted to this.

Anyway, these games will only be worth a look if you remember the originals.

I paid full whack for it, just before the 10c sale but was worth every cent and didn't begrudge (much) paying for Crankys story. Best game on my phone by a mile.

so from the link :

At the moment, game assets (graphics, sounds, levels, translations, etc.) are loaded from the original game files. Therefore, you will require the original CD in order to use CorsixTH.
