Gameloft released its much anticipated third title in the Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance series last night, dropping N.O.V.A. 3 into the Google Play Store.  Like its predecessors, the first-person shooter follows in the adventures of Captain Kal Wardin as he heads across 10 levels  to liberate Earth.  Featuring six multi-player modes (up to 12 players), the 3D game looks and feels as sharp as we expected.

If you’re a fan of high quality, first-person shooters with wonderful graphics then you’ll want to get out $6.99 and buy this one right away.  A word of caution – you’ll need 2GB of storage space to fully load N.O.V.A. 3!
