Famed Android gaming developer Hexage has released another title on the Android Market today, in the form of ROBOTEK – a very sweet looking game which is being pitched as a “blend of strategy, action and RPG”.
There’s a fantastic trailer up on YouTube, and here’s what it looks like still:
Very nice. Get it via the Android Market. Hexage know what it’s doing, so you’re unlikely to feel disappointed in any way. Especially as it’s free.
£30? For a phone case? It had better be good.
Samsung’s official Galaxy Nexus case. Costs a lot. Has a glittery little logo.
Fresh from reviewing the cheap and cheerful FlexiShield case for the Galaxy Nexus, we’re back with another protective offering from industry veteran Case-Mate… Read the rest
Seeing as we’ve just reviewed the brand spanking new Galaxy Nexus, we’re in the mood for some accessorising – and we don’t mean earnings and handbags… Read the rest
Google’s third Nexus is bigger, once again made by Samsung and features the new Android 4.0 or “Ice Cream Sandwich” version of the OS. It’s obviously going to be good. But how good?
The HTC Sensation XL is an odd one by HTC. It updates the screen size of this year’s HTC Sensation to 4.7″ and includes Beats Audio enhancements, but you lose a bit of processor speed – the HTC Sensation XL is powered by a single-core 1.5GHz brain… Read the rest
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
To accompany our Xperia Neo review we’ve put together this collection of photos taken using Sony Ericsson’s latest Android phone, which features an 8megapixel Exmor R sensor… Read the rest
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.

/ May 24, 2011Yeah… ROBOTEK have a cheating AI (3 times in a row) after 30-60minutes of play. It’s like a cheap casino roulette :)) Hexage force you to pay some money. It’s not FREE

Hexage doesn’t FORCE anything on you, however it does seem as though the AI cheats, but I’ve pulled a couple of 5 in a row perfects out of my ass at times.

/ May 24, 2011Gotta love Hexage, Radiant and Buka were the first games I purchased and still play them. Anyone think that the robot on the right looks a bit Portal-esque?

/ May 25, 2011I think it looks more like Patapon on the PSP with the black outlines and the stand-out eyes.

/ June 8, 2011I have played hundreds of games of Robotek (I was foolish enough to pay for upgrades) and this is what I found: The computer opponent cheats.
(1) The rolls are not entirely random. It gets perfect rolls far more often. (2) The computer’s Hacking attacks have a very high chance of working, while yours hardly ever works. (3) The game is stacked against you the player. There are not enough enemy nodes to level you quickly enough to fight the tougher nodes. The gap will keep getting wider, unless you keep paying real money to upgrade.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this game.

/ June 20, 2011You want to play this game and succeed, I got the real cheat you want.
There is a flaw in the engine.
(example)
You spend 50 energy to attack a node, and if you win you gain 65 energy, if you lose you dont get any energy.
These “loses” will quickly drain your energy reserves forcing you to spend money to buy more energy.
BUT… the flaw is that the game does not remove the energy you need to spend to attack someone until it knows the outcome of the battle.
So if you are almost dead or can see that the tides of war are not in your favor, you can just close the app and reopen it. All your energy will still be there, and you will be ready to fight again.
