Game companies choosing Android on Apple (ContributorNetwork)

Everyone knows the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch take in the world of mobile gaming - same Nintendo knows. What in the world would think of Android as a platform for game Grand, still less better than Apple?

Apparently, these companies are:

NVIDIA

NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor sets the standard for the performance of Android gaming on smartphones and tablets for wireless gaming HD for devices on most of the major carriers to the United States. And unlike on iPhone, Android compatible smartphone and app for tablets feature NVIDIA Tegra box, which allows you to browse Games HD worthy of the specifications of your computer.

GameStop

The last remaining games bricks and mortar store in a large part of the United States has recently bought the game Spawn Labs company streaming and is buying the games Stardock Impulse store. The company is apparently planning create a game streaming service to compete with OnLive and intend to bring this service for Android.

OnLive

Speaking of games streaming, Tablet future prospectus of HTC is developed in partnership with OnLive itself and will provide quality PC and console games that can be played with a BlueTooth controller. Best Buy is already taking pre-orders for the unique tablet, equipped with pen, which will also include the HTC Watch film store.

Sony

Apparently the PlayStation Portable is good enough for Sony, as Sony Ericsson has just released the Xperia Play, the first "PlayStation phone." A couple of "PlayStation tablets" is also in the works.

These Android devices are certified to the PlayStation, leaving to download games PlayStation (currently limited to a selection of titles PS) and the journal in the PlayStation Network. And the Xperia exhibit includes a PSP Go-style sliding game controller, with the shoulder buttons and dual analog broom.

Alienware

The parent company Alienware, Dell, already compressed and combined factory Android. A senior Vice-President of the company, said it is "look at all the form factors," in a conversation reported by IGN and refused to deny that a tablet of game was in the works.

VALVE

A conversation forum with the President of Valve Gabe Newell suggests that steam can be directed to Android soon. It can also be directed to iOS, although the recent controversy-app on the App Store purchases could have dampened enthusiasm of Valve. In addition, it will have to compete with Apple Game Center.

Why the interest?

In part because there are things that games companies can do with Android, which would be impossible or little practical to Apple devices. Sony took full advantage with the controller built in its "PlayStation phone", for example, and screen multi-touch on his upcoming game console NPM suggests that she may have learned a few things of Android as well.

In addition, however, some game developers are simply find that they are better on Android than iOS. Video games company spacetime Studios found that his pocket legends MMORPG makes much more money on Android on iOS, even though its iOS version was more.

It is true that some large game companies have been burned by Android. Gameloft refuses to sell most of its games in the market Android and s Rovio perplexed by it even. The two companies are partnership with Amazon Appstore for Android, although... which shows that the Android open platform will find a way to accommodate even their.

It is clear

If some of it turns into actual games, or a better game about Android experience, is an enigma. Many of these things could happen on iOS, however. Whether or not the "best" Android, the world of the games would be diminished without it.
