The Humble Bundle often has some Android games on offer. You donate as much as you think they're worth.

Currently there are no Android games up, but they're changing quite regularly.

Sorry, only saw this now. If you download the amazon app store from the UK site, you get the UK deals. If you download the app store from the US store, you get the US deals.

Grabbed it earlier this morning. I like the style (and the humour) but the controls are very klunky. Will try again later.

Yeah, I'm not enamoured with the controls myself. That applies to most games on tablet/phone though for me. I'm just used to consoles I suppose.

The Amazon freebie of the day is Star Command. Just nabbed it, reviews are really good.

Some info on it from google playstore. Gets 4.3 out of 5 stars on playstore.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.starcommand.scgame

Description

4.5/5 - TouchArcade “Should you dive in immediately? Absolutely.”
4/5 - Androidspin “A great mobile space romp which adopts a great theme, great gameplay and will keep you busy for quite a few hours...”
Star Command let's you build your own ship, hire your crew, explore the universe and battle alien civilizations across the galaxy.
• Premium game - no in app purchase roadblocks

Manage each of your ships roles, focusing on science skills, tactical combat and ship engineering. Prevent alien invaders from taking over your ship and causing massive amounts of damage with sentry guns. Revive dying crew members with new rooms! And don’t forget that your decisions matter - an enemy made early could come back to haunt you later.

The new Humble Bundle is for Android games. I haven't played any of them before but looking at the reviews they are all rated well and range from games which come for free for sample levels but cost 2 to unlock up to games which cost 2.99 as standalone games.

https://www.humblebundle.com/

Humble Mobile Bundle 4

Pay what you want to receive the legendary strategy game Catan, the free-running parkour-inspired chaser Vector, the hydro jet racing game Riptide GP2 and the apocalyptic sharp-shooter Zombie Gunship. If you pay more than the average, you'll also get to experience the atmospheric side-scrolling action adventure game, BADLAND and form your squad in the advanced tactical combat of Breach & Clear.

I posted this in Bargain alerts but here might have been better :P

Final Fantasy V - €6.99 (50% off - Android)

We all know that the Final Fantasy games on Android are overpriced.

It is rare enough for them to be discounted on the Play Store so the price tag of €6.99 makes the decision to buy a little more palatable.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...gleplay.FFV_GP

I have never played V as i only started playing the series from VII onwards but i would love to hear people's opinions on the port.

Also Deus Ex: The Fall is €0.99 until Monday
