Every time you turn around, it seems like another Angry Birds game or product is launched. Recently Rovio launched Angry Birds: Stella, and Angry Birds: Transformers is due out later this month.

Leos-Fortune-Comes-To-Android

Leo’s Fortune, the award winning iOS game, will be landing in the Google Play store this July 1oth so be ready Android users! I reviewed the game on the iOS platform here on Techaeris and it’s an absolutely fabulous piece of art! From the music and characters to the stunningly beautiful graphics you will want to buy this game. I’m not sure how they will offer the game up on Android but on iOS it’s a one time purchase with no in app purchases or any advertisement. Things may be a little different on Android but either way, the game is absolutely brilliant. Check out the Leo’s Fortune trailer after the break.

I was given access to Heroes of Steel – the upcoming tactical fantasy role-playing game from the Trese Brothers – on November 24th at around 1:30 am.  I was getting ready to head to bed and figured I would just install the game and really dive in after I got some sleep.  After getting everything downloaded I thought I would just boot it up so I could check out the beginning of the game, but then get some sleep and play more in the morning.  The next thing I knew, it was 4am and I was still playing.
