Guns n’ Glory is a tower defense game that requires adaptive strategy as well as shooting. Players control bandits who kill settlers on foot, horseback, in wagons, and in gold-carrying trailers. Some bandits are more effective at stopping certain types of settlers, so finding the right balance is important since letting too many travelers escape will attract the law. In addition to being one of the rare tower defense games where players assume the role of the bad guys, Guns n Glory also has the benefit of not having stationary towers. Bandits are set up along various points of each map and often must be moved in order to keep pace with the waves of settlers. There are three types of bandits – gun wielding cowboys, dynamite-throwing Mexicans, and arrow-shooting Indians (the dialogue is kind of stereotypically offensive, by the way). As the game progresses, players can also acquire cannons, train-mounted machine guns, and upgrades for better attacks. I like Guns n’ Glory for its fun style of gameplay but it is somewhat limited because the game persistently force closes on some phones (an update released today should address most errors). However, Guns n’ Glory still lacks the ability to easily move through large maps or set varying degrees of difficulty. Thankfully, the makers promise updates that will include new maps, so gameplay is less likely to become stale. Download the free version of Guns n’ Glory and put it through the ringer for a day or two. Then purchase the ad-free version for 2.99 Euro if it you like it. Install this app KEY FEATURES Relatively unique tower defense game Fun style of play CONS Lacks difficulty settings for each level Moving across maps sometimes problematic App: Guns n’ Glory Price: Free w/ Ads, €2.99 ad-free Website : http://www.handy-games.com/

Task and time management service Remember the Milk just made its iPhone application free. While the Remember the Milk mobile app previously required a $25 annual fee for a Pro account, RTM is now free with some limited functionality (users can sync manually only once a day and don’t get push notifications). Why can’t Android users get in on that deal? Well, they just might . In response to a user’s question about Android being able to use the app for free, RTM support team member Andrew Conkling replied that it was under consideration. But before the company extends the same deal to Android, it first needs to see how the change affects sales among iPhone users. Remember the Milk believes opening up the iPhone app will expose the service to more people, who may decide to upgrade. A Pro account will still be required to have unlimited auto-syncing, Smart auto-sync, and push notification. If this proves to be a good business strategy for RTM, we could see the Android version adopt a similar model. [ Remember the Milk , Twitter ]

The beta application for Beejive is going out to more users right now. Though it was originally intended for only 400 people, Beejive has since expanded that testing group to include more Android users who previously requested access to the instant messaging app. Beejive is a multi-platform instant messaging application that allows people to keep in touch with friends no matter what method they choose (provided you also have an account registered with that service). Rather than require downloading multiple chat apps for AIM, Facebook, MSN, et al., Beejive integrates all of your chat accounts into one convenient place. The Android beta attracted quite a bit of attention, so I figured that you all might want to at least know what it looks like. The app supports sending voice notes, sending files, sending to the Android “share” function, and sending instant messages, of course. There’s a whole lot of sending going on. UPDATE: I assumed this was a closed beta but the download link is being passed around like a a cigarette, so Download and enjoy . Here’s a tutorial for how to install an APK if you’ve never done it.

Gameloft makes incredible games, but not a lot of people know that because the company has decided against distributing its newer high-quality games in the Android Market. Further complicating matters is the bad will that the company earned when customers discovered that games purchased through the company were only available to install one time on one device, with no exceptions (Gameloft has since reversed this policy and allows multiple installs on one device). In what looks like an effort to earn back some good will and remind gamers that it has some of the best titles they’re going to see, Gameloft has instituted a “Try before you buy” program. Anyone with a capable device, the benchmark is typically a 1 GHz processor, can navigate to Gameloft.com and their phone will be redirected to a page listing titles available for trial. You can also visit www.gameloft.com/android-hd-games on your computer. There are 11 games to test, ranging from high-intensity first-person shooters to expansive adventure games like Hero of Sparta and Gangstar. View the full list of games at the Gameloft site. The following phones are supported: HTC Incredible, HTC Desire, HTC EVO 4G, Google Nexus One, Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, Samsung Vibrant, Samsung Galaxy S, Motorola Droid, Motorola Droid X, Motorola Motoroi, Motorola Milestone and coming soon to the Samsung Epic 4G and the Motorola Droid 2. It would probably much easier for Gameloft to just distribute these apps in the Android Market but the company has made a conscious decision to sell its wares directly to consumers. This will at least make it easier for people interested in the games but hesitant to fork over cash without the protections afforded to them in the Market.

ShootMe is a great app if you’re trying to take screenshots on your rooted Android phone. Shake the phone, take a picture, and mount your SD card to transfer it onto the computer. That’s simple enough, but there’s another way to take screenshots without ever leaving the browser. PicMe is a screen grabber developed by Johan Cloetens, the same person who developed ShootMe. The difference is that when PicMe launches, users see a URL that they can visit to see the latest snapshot of their phone. The website displays a screenshot of the user’s phone directly on the web, allowing them to Right-click > “Save As” the image and not have to mount their SD card or send to the cloud. A bonus to PicMe is that it can actually control the phone from the web. In the “Live” view on your PicMe website, users can click on icons to launch apps, open the settings menu, or even get a delayed look of the camera sent directly to the web. The functionality and practicality of this feature is rather limited, but it’s fun to play around with for now and could develop into something special. Your phone must be rooted in order for PicMe to work. Install this app.

Android users come from all walks of life, but there are times when some would prefer the option to see what other users like him or her are most interested in. A Justin Bieber icon pack may be popular because teenage American girls love him, but if you are an adult male from Brazil, you probably have no use for that type of app. App discovery tool AppBrain.com has added additional filters to organize popular apps according to demographics. Already popular for making it possible to install apps from the web and discover what others are using, AppBrain.com now reveals the apps that are most popular in select countries, gender, or age groups. Only 15 nations and 6 groups have categories because not all countries have enough members to obtain reliable data. Those countries, as of Aug. 20, 2010, are: United States United Kingdom Germany Norway Sweden Australia Netherlands Italy Denmark Hong Kong Brazil France Canada Spain Portugal. The groups: Men, Women, Youngest people, People in their 20’s, People in their 30’s, Older people. These sub-category filters are optional ; visit AppBrain.com to take advantage of these new features. Other improvements to the website, according to the AppBrain blog , include: Filtering “Hot Apps” section by category Filter only free, paid, new, updated, or price-reduced apps Filter app sections (Tools, Games, etc.) according to people group Slight changes to the AppBrain.com
