Android Gaming gets Unreal with Dungeon Defenders: First Wave
I have often scoffed at the idea of your phone being considered a gaming console. I’m not sure why, seeing as how I do everything else on it, but “serious” gaming has never really occurred to me.

Developers Now Have 4,000 Characters to Describe Android Apps in Market
