This game was great, especially for  people   wanting to play a WoW-like game on their phone, minus the  multiplayer   part of it all. This also showed that full 3D RPG games are  welcome in   the Android gaming community and were needed.<\/p>\n<p>Along with this   game it also showed that if the game is worth it,  file size doesn&#8217;t   matter to Android gamers and that even though it  wasn&#8217;t &#8216;huge&#8217; it was   still big in size but received a pretty warm  welcome on the Android   Market.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dungeon Defenders: First Wave by Trendy Entertainment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a rel=\"gb_imageset[1057]\" href=\"http:\/\/droidgamers.com\/images\/stories\/news\/dungeondefendersunreal\/DunDefWallpaper2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/droidgamers.com\/cache\/multithumb_thumbs\/b_250_200_16777215_0___images_stories_news_dungeondefendersunreal_DunDefWallpaper2.jpg\" alt=\"b_250_200_16777215_0___images_stories_news_dungeondefendersunreal_DunDefWallpaper2.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"141\" \/><\/a><\/strong>This   massive launch of this fantastic  game really put the &#8216;we don&#8217;t care   about file sizes if the game is  good&#8217; out there. It also marks   Android&#8217;s first Unreal Engine 3 developed  game as well as the first   game that truly needed minimum system  requirements. It also offers up   some of the most unique gaming currently  available for Android with it   being a mesh of MMORPG\/Action\/Tower  Defense gaming genres.<\/p>\n<p>With   upcoming updates which will include online multiplayer PvP and  the   ability for players to create their own Mods for the game, Dungeon    Defenders: First Wave will be a winner throughout 2011 as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zenonia by Gamevil<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a rel=\"gb_imageset[1057]\" href=\"http:\/\/droidgamers.com\/images\/stories\/news\/Zenonia\/zenonia2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/droidgamers.com\/cache\/multithumb_thumbs\/b_250_200_16777215_0___images_stories_news_Zenonia_zenonia2.jpg\" alt=\"b_250_200_16777215_0___images_stories_news_Zenonia_zenonia2.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"167\" \/><\/a><\/strong>Zenonia  came out and was one of the first major full fledged RPG  releases for  Android. Developed by Gamevil, Zenonia had a slew of  features including  day\/night variations in the game, huge amount of  quests, various  equipment levels (normal\/rare\/magic\/epic etc), equipment  combining,  huge amount of quests, passive\/active skills and a whole lot  more.<\/p>\n<p>It  also sported 40+ hours of gameplay to complete the game but you  could  grind your character up to level 99 if you wanted to after that.   Gamevil was quick to update it after release with multitouch support as   well. It was a great game, and still is, with a great storyline and   witty dialog. This is a must have for RPG fans.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reckless Racing by Polarbit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a rel=\"gb_imageset[1057]\" href=\"http:\/\/droidgamers.com\/images\/stories\/news\/recklessracing\/reckless-racing-android-game%201.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/droidgamers.com\/cache\/multithumb_thumbs\/b_250_200_16777215_0___images_stories_news_recklessracing_reckless-racing-android-game_1.jpg\" alt=\"b_250_200_16777215_0___images_stories_news_recklessracing_reckless-racing-android-game_1.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"167\" \/><\/a><\/strong>Reckless  Racing was released later in the year and featured some  great 3D  top-down racing, hillbilly music and just generally fun  gameplay. While  there are a bunch of good racing games for Android, this  was one that  had been waited on by many gamers for quite some time. The  release of  the game came with a pirating issue and the servers having  problems  because of it but within a few days Polarbit had it cured.<\/p>\n<p>The  game has great replay value and you can race your friends online   through multiplayer mode, download ghost cars with their own racing   style and more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Angry Birds (normal + seasons) by Rovio<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a rel=\"gb_imageset[1057]\" href=\"http:\/\/droidgamers.com\/images\/stories\/news\/angrybirds\/abxmas_pikkunosto.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/droidgamers.com\/cache\/multithumb_thumbs\/b_250_200_16777215_0___images_stories_news_angrybirds_abxmas_pikkunosto.jpg\" alt=\"b_250_200_16777215_0___images_stories_news_angrybirds_abxmas_pikkunosto.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"141\" \/><\/a><\/strong>What  can I say about Angry Birds that hasn&#8217;t been said already many  timeson  other sites. Both the normal version and the &#8216;Seasons&#8217;  edition have  been massively popular not just on Android but mobile in  general. Very  few games have the replay value that Angry Birds offers  and the  straight up fun you can have while playing this game.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>N.O.V.A by Gameloft<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a rel=\"gb_imageset[1057]\" href=\"http:\/\/droidgamers.com\/images\/stories\/news\/gameloft\/nova.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/droidgamers.com\/cache\/multithumb_thumbs\/b_250_200_16777215_0___images_stories_news_gameloft_nova.jpg\" alt=\"b_250_200_16777215_0___images_stories_news_gameloft_nova.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"166\" \/><\/a><\/strong>N.O.V.A  shows us that FPS  (First-Person Shooter) games can be done for the  Android platform and  done well. Between the great 3D graphics and the  enjoyment of actually  having a great FPS game to play, this should be  making most Top 10  lists. Even without the ability to play multiplayer,  this is a great  game to play.<\/p>\n<p>We are definitely looking forward  to N.O.V.A 2 hitting the Android platform in the near future.

This game offered players the typical Tower  Defense style  game but with the twist of being able to move your  &#8216;towers&#8217; at any  point during the game.<\/p>\n<p>The cool western theme, being bandits  instead of good guys and  robbing the innocent and more maps coming out  make this another game  most Android gamers should try.

Considered the &#8216;WoW of mobile gaming&#8217;,  Pocket   Legends sports millions of players, a free 3D MMORPG to play and  the   ability to buy in-game items. This is also considered Android&#8217;s  first   full MMORPG and even though Runes was out before it, Runes is  still in   beta phase of development.<\/p>\n<p>Pretty much everyone who enjoys   playing online PC games in some  capacity wanted to play Pocket Legends   on their Android device. The  release of this game also further  enforced  the idea that full sized  games can be very successful on  Android.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prism 3D by Hyperbees<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a rel=\"gb_imageset[1057]\" href=\"http:\/\/droidgamers.com\/images\/stories\/news\/prism3d\/3.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/droidgamers.com\/cache\/multithumb_thumbs\/b_250_200_16777215_0___images_stories_news_prism3d_3.png\" alt=\"b_250_200_16777215_0___images_stories_news_prism3d_3.png\" width=\"120\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/strong>Another  unique game that really doesn&#8217;t fit into a genre of gaming.  Perhaps  strategy, platform, casual or puzzle would work, perhaps all of  them  together.
