Tapjoy teamed up with Machineworks Northwest to bring an official port of Duke Nukem 3D to Android. Released back in 1991, Duke Nukem 3D has been a staple in the FPS gaming scene for quite a long time. If you haven’t played a Duke Nukem game before, essentially think of a B-rated movie made into a video game, complete with witty one liners and aliens to shoot in the face.
Features:
- Optimized for all newer multi-touch devices
- Native support for large tablet sized devices such as the Xoom
- Dual stick or new “drag to look” controls
- Installs to SD by default
- Includes Episode 1
- Episode 2 and 3 available via Google In App Billing
Duke Nukem 3D for Android comes with 3 episodes. The first episode is £0.61. The remaining two are available through in-app purchases. Graphically, the game comes with some touched up eye candy but for the most part sticks to how it was back in the day. In fact almost everything about it is close to the original as possible minus the fact the controls are on-screen If you’re a Duke Nukem fan or just love retro FPS games in general, this is pretty much a must buy. If you are looking for a viable androidhackers.io alternative, then there are plenty of options to choose from. Check techdee and find the best androidhackers alternatives.

Gareth and James try to compensate for the lack of the Davis’ this week by discussing the new Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro and the Blackberry Torch 9860.

Pocketnow has posted some shots of the much touted Nokia Windows Phone 7 phone. With Nokia World approaching, pics of the Nokia 800 have leaked to the internet. Rumoured to be available in three different colours (black, pink, and blue). The pics also reveal a slightly different font, Nokia Music, and Nokia Navigation apps. We should have all the details later in the week. James will be making an appearance at Nokia World. The history books will be written, the Nokia Windows Phone 7 phone, who’d have thought?!?! (Well, me. And gets lambasted for suggesting such a thing 6 months before it’s announced!)

For power-users, the new Asus Transformer Prime Android tablet could very well become the new "de facto standard" by which a host of Android tablets are compared to throughout the beginning of next year. The new power-house flagship tablet will be sporting the new NVIDIA Tegra 3 Quad-Core processor, and could possibly be the first tablet with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Even if it comes with Honeycomb, it is likely that it will get an update to ICS very shortly.
Also, it is likely coming very soon as it’s website landing page has just gone Live! There are no details on pricing or availability yet.

Samsung has gone and gotten all official by release date for their Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, the successor to the 7-inch model launched around this time last year. The new device will see a dual-core CPU upgrade and Android Honeycomb. Pre-orders are set to being October 23rd, the 7.0 Plus will land on shelves November 13th with the 16GB model retailing for $399.99. Samsung is pushing TV connectivity with the slate, which comes pre-loaded with Peel and has an IR transmitter built in to remotely control your boob tube. See the full press release below.
Here’s the press release, note there is no mention of Ice Cream Sandwich however.
Google today debuted a new movie rental store in the Android Marketplace in addition to the ability to purchase books. UK Android users will have 1,000 films to begin with, starting around £2.49. The rental period lasts 30 days and the movie will be available on any connected device the user logs into. That means the user’s Android smartphone, tablet, and even the computer can be used to watch the movie. Sounds brilliant however, once the user starts watching a film, they get 48 hours to finish. If you don’t finish in the 48-hour window, you will have to pay again.
At present the selection of movies is varied. However, as a debut the selection is pretty good. It all seems to link back to your Youtube account.
A teaser video for the up-coming Asus Eee Pad Transformer 2 device surfaced today. What is even more exciting about this quad-core tablet (and the timing of this video) is that this will be the first Android Tablet running Ice Cream Sandwich (or at least the first one with a teaser video)! It doesn’t show much, but looks pretty good. Enjoy!
Features shown in the video LED Flash, New Cover? design, thinner, new keyboard design, more rounded Edges
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus was just announced a short time ago. It wasn’t specifically mentioned during the event which carriers the device would be coming to, it was clear Samsung and Google will be pushing this out with force. That being said, Three has just announced via press release that they will be stocking the “Pure Google” smartphone and the device will be compatible with their upcoming HSPA+ network coming by year’s end. No specific launch date or pricing was given but we’ll keep you posted.
Don’t know about you, but this phone and their One plan is me for the next long while!

Gareth and James interrogate Matt over the HTC Radar before James has a go on the HTC Titan, a couple of new Windows Phone 7 phones. James comments on Vince’s review of the Blackberry Torch 9810 and Defcon 4. or is that DevCon? Gareth gives you a rundown on the best deal for the iPhone 4S.
The whole team is back together this week to say their bit for Steve Jobs. Blackberry comes under fire as even James was upset by the outage during the week. Matt and Tracy return from a jaunt abroad with tales of high adventure and low trousers.
