Loadout PS4 Review F2P Madness on PlayStation 4 – Androidizen

Loadout PS4 Review F2P Madness on PlayStation 4 – as we predicted – Loadout has made its way to consoles as a free to play title. First off it’s launched on PS4 but an Xbox One release can’t be that far off. ****

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic Android Launched – Androidizen

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic Android has made its way to the Google Play Store in a surprise Christmas present to gamers everywhere.

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic is one of the best, if not the best, western RPG of the last 15 years. The developers are saying this is the full Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic experience with no short cuts or missing content.

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic’s system is based on Wizards of the Coast’s Star Wars roleplaying game, which is based on the d20 role-playing game system derived from the Third Edition Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) rules. Players choose from three basic character classes at the beginning of the game, and later choose from three Jedi subclasses. ****

Brothers in Arms 3 Review Android – Androidizen

Brothers in Arms 3 Review Android is an interesting new take on the franchise that still feels very limited and my God do those in-app purchases (IAPs) really get in the way this time around.

No longer on rails but still linear in its approach to level design, Brothers in Arms 3 feels more like a wallet emptying abuse of humanity than a game.

Driveclub PlayStation 4 review – Androidizen

Driveclub PlayStation 4 review. At last here is our look at Driveclub on PlayStation 4. Sadly, this is a badly designed game that probably looked great on paper but failed miserably at delivering a fun driving experience.

The game is too hard with even a small mistake costing you the race. The game engine actually makes things more difficult due to the way light sources are handled. Overall this is the worst driving game of the year. ****

Civilization Revolution 2 review on Nvidia Shield tablet – Androidizen

Civilization Revolution 2 review on Nvidia Shield tablet – checking out one of the most expensive Android games ever released Civilization Revolution 2.

It certainly looks great and in our experience delivers the goods – a Civilization experience comparable to its desktop counterpart but perfect for tablets.

Android Lollipop is a disaster – wait till February for fixes!? – Androidizen

Android Lollipop is a disaster for Google with so many bugs yet they released it anyway. Android Lollipop has battery drain issues, wifi Issues, force close issues, memory leaks and encryption bugs.

None of our devices running Android Lollipop have problems from the Nexus 5, 10 HTC One M8 and the Nvidia Shield Tablet it’s a mess and a half for Google.

Really we should be demanding a much faster release for these fixes as they are crucial to the eco system and your partners. ****
