It appears mobile publisher Gameloft is trying to bring the “freemium” model to the racing game genre, with its latest title GT Racing: Motor Academy Free+. It’s your standard Gran Turismo like affair filled with driving tests and races, only you’re required to unlock content and cars with “XP” earned from races.
And if you can’t be bothered, just buy some XP and unlock everything. Which defeats the point a little, but there you are.
And there it is. There’s the customary list of supported devices beneath the game’s Market listing, which includes popular Android models like the Desire S, Desire Z and HD, Nexus S and more.
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?
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.
