King Fighter 2

Remember Double Dragon from the old NES era?

In many ways, King Fighter 2 is a true successor to Double Dragon franchise. This story based brawler will take you back to the time of classic arcade action games, where Kung Fu might ruled the world and combos were sick!

The game will take you around scenic environments, fighting with groups of thugs and bosses in classic 8 bit graphical wizardry and draw out the champion in you. With over a million of downloads, the game has got a good rating of 4.2 out of 11,247 reviews which speaks for itself. The game has some language issues, but given the fun that it is even the language adds to the gameplay value (think of poorly translated anime). Definitely worth a try for all arcade fans out there.

Ceramic Destroyer

There is no shortage of fun puzzle games on the Android marketplace. Ceramic Destoryer takes it a notch further, where you have to destroy ceramic shapes by firing different types of bombs on these shapes with a catapult.

The sound in the game is very engaging, plus the weapon selection makes for a decent choice and fun gameplay. And then, it is always fun to blow up things. The game turns out to be very addictive, thanks in part to the audio and the smooth graphics, but a lot of it has to do with the fun gameplay of shooting bombs and laying them all over the target ceramic shapes to completely destroy it. Your progression in the game, depends on your explosive skills.

Journey to Egypt

This latest release from China Wireless Arts builds over their previous successful title - Castle of Shadows. In Journey to Egypt, you play as Shanti - the wife and guardian of the egyptian pharaoh, who sets on a mission to discover and disrupt the conspiracies of the evil god against the egyptian pharaoh.

Build in a similar style as Castle of Shadows, the two games are very similar except in obvious ways (read: audio and art). The game plays out as a 2d side scroller adventure, where the emphasis is on taking over groups of enemies and beating them to a pulp. And guess what, you can dual wield!

Cartoon Wars

Gamevil strikes again with this fun war game, where you have to build units, save your tower while destroy the enemy's tower. Sounds simple right? Wrong!

Over the game, you will unlock better units, as your monochrome stick figure army takes over the rival colorful army. The strategy involed is in your assembly line of producing units and mana management. Quite like Nano Kingdoms, the game takes away the cuteness and replaces it with stick-y ferociousness, as you fight monsters and evil creatures of the demon horde.

The unassuming game presents you with an infinte number of levels, putting virtually no end to war but only victory. Over its millions of downloads, the game has earned 99,948 (at the point of this writing) and averaging around a score of 4.8. You know what's that? Wicked!
