“Why don’t you review more Android games?” is a question I get on a daily basis, and it’s a question I never ignore. Every time I get it, the first thing I do is go to Google Play on my phone and see if there’s anything new worth taking a look at.

This Week’s Android Charts: Google Play Needs A ‘New Release’ Section

Oh look, it’s Minecraft Pocket Edition at the top of the Android paid game charts, recovered from last week’ brief bout of Ruzzle fever. There’s not a single new game on the Android top paid charts, just the usual suspects shuffling about. Mosquitoes are starting to breed in it.

Another week, another 20 Android apps vying for attention on the top paid and free charts. All the usual suspects are present and accounted for — 19 games that have been poking about the rankings for weeks, months and even years.

This Week’s Android Charts: A Temple Run Triple Play

It’s all Temple Run, all the time in this week’s Android charts, as the launch of the smash-hit sequel brings all three games in the franchise into the spotlight. I wonder if Imangi Studios’ other games ever get jealous.
