AP: Gameloft took its sweet time getting its games in the Google Play Store, but when the French developer finally got its act together it offered some great stuff. The Asphalt series of racing games has been a mainstay of Android for a while now, and the newest incarnation, Asphalt 7, has finally launched. Now that there are so many alternatives, should you still be revving your engine for Asphalt? Let's see.
Most casinos pump oxygen into their halls while offering free drinks to their patrons in an effort to keep gamblers both tipsy and alert, the ideal mental state for gambling or rather losing money. Pay to win games employs a similar sleight of hand in the way they price and implement virtual currencies that is every bit as lucrative and manipulative.
Do these parents give their credit cards and let them run loose at Toys R US as well ?
Didn't think so.
Don't let kids use your card.
But yea it is still kind of shady.
Please do sign the boycott petition applet, included at the bottom of the article.
agree and disagree.
allowing your kids to have access to spending money on ipads and tablets is stupid. just imagine giving a girl a platinum credit card for her shopping.
all i am saying is that some people need to be responsible for restricting their account somthat a password is needed for every expenditure..
also you need to teach kids the concept of money, though digital money to virtual money to virtual stamina/gems can be a really hard concept. not as easy to teach as it was to tteach them how much an apple cost.
I agree with everything you said, but I still think it's an awful manipulative scheme that these company's should be ashamed of. Yes parents should wise up and be more responsible but the company's doing this should have a bit more pride about themselves instead of using these tactics to rip people off.
Dumb parents are only the problem if you live in the dumb parents' household. For the rest of us, the IAPs that caused them to get ripped are ruining the games they are in. And that's just one of many issues. That's why signing the boycott makes sense.
This, if people controlled their children better this wouldn't even be a thing.
A lot of parents these days just don't give a f***.
Part of the problem is a lot of the parents don't understand the concept them selves until they see a massive credit card bill and the end of the month.
Racing games are fewer compared to the endless runner, platformer and puzzle type of games. Players get excited when they get to control a blazing fast car in their smartphones or tablets. GameWoof looks at five of the best Android racing games in the Play Store today.
Replace 1, 3, and 4 with Real Racing 2, Riptide GP, and NFS Most Wanted. Those top down racers are a pain in the ass to play on a touchscreen.
Forbes - Game publisher and developer Gameloft has thrown its support behind the new Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone. The game maker has been active across all mobile platforms and was a primary backer for Apple’s launches of iPhone and iPad, as well as new Google Android phones and tablets over the years.
The game developer, which recently opened a studio in New Orleans, has focused on a mass market gaming audiences through Hollywood licenses like Iron Man 3, Epic and Ice Age Village and franchises like Asphalt, Real Football and The Oregon Trail: Settlers. The publisher already has 13 games available for the Galaxy S4, including Asphalt 7: Heat.
Honestly the games look the same like they do on every other high-end phones. Sure the phone is sporting the fastest Snapdragon 600 chip(currently) but gaming isn't going to be that different compared to gaming on Optiminus G, Note 2, One, Droid DNA or Xperia Z.
Well on a hd 1080p tv they would look better with the higher res, but yes odds are games look the same on any other phone
Good for them. Unless it is free I won't get it.
I will never pay for a mobile game.
Obama games ftw! lol just kidding, your opinion is totally irrelevant to any game maker and doubtful if anyone here cares either, but thanks for sharing!
It looks good but.... I needs buttons:S and i dont see someone paying big amounts for this game. Thats the problem with mobile gaming and all those casuals
they will sell this neat gamepad with it - http://www.knowyourmobile.c... . At least for all the emulators :)
Moga cell phone game pad sounds like what you need to look at. I mean if you wanna game on the go. If not, obviously consoles and pc games are better.

I am so excited to get the s4 soon because my droid x2 is frustrating to use anymore and i just want to throw it out a window. I am not really into mobile racing games and if i want to play one I play forza 4.
