Checkers 4 1/2 stars

Quote:
Checkers, or Draughts as it is known in the United Kingdom, is one of the world's most popular board games. The earliest records of this classic game date back to the Egyptians 3500 years ago and today it is a staple in game libraries everywhere. Checkers, the app from AI Factory Limited, brings a high quality version of this beloved pastime to Android.

For experts and beginners

Classic Gameplay, Current Technology
Checkers features a robust game engine that works well on both tablets and smartphones. Smooth animations and tastefully designed graphics make for an effortless gaming experience, while useful functions like Undo and Hints add to the rich interactivity.


Play two-player games against another person or try your hand in one-player games against a computer opponent. In one-player games, ten difficulty levels ranging from Beginner to Expert allow you to scale opponent skill level to match your own. Unlike many commercial checkers programs, Checkers correctly plays the common 2K v K; essential for quality checkers play.

Read It Later Pro 3 stars

I did a quick scan of the reviews and all the one star reviews I saw were about not being able to create an account and/or login to the server so that seems to be a problem that is fairly common.

Retro Defense 3 1/2 Stars

Quote:
Product Features
  • 24 levels with hours of play in each one
  • 10 tower types
  • 6 different kinds of invaders
  • 3 bonus towers
  • Authentic retro sound effects and glowing graphics

Product Description

Back to the Future
Turn back the clock with the classic graphics and sounds of Retro Defense, a thrilling tower defense game for your Android device. Set up your towers and fight off hordes of hostile invaders as you move through the game's many challenging levels.

Fast-Paced Tower Defense
You have a many levels to master, so spend your money wisely, build the right towers, and stop the attackers from dominating the screen. Tower placement is key. Each tower type offers specific benefits and weaknesses; some can be built more quickly, some are more resistant to attack, etc. Your firepower options include lasers, missiles, and shock waves, which will vary in effectiveness against the different types of invaders you'll encounter.

Fast-paced, addictive, and beautifully designed, this top-rated game offers outstanding fun for strategy game fans.

"Retro Defense is an Android game that is tough to review. Not because it's hard to describe, but because it's difficult to pull myself away from playing it. Even when I know I should be writing about this tower defense game from Larva Labs, I'm too busy trying to ward off rounds of menacing invaders. A good game can do that to you." - Andrew Kameka, Androinica

Rush Hour 3 stars

Slider puzzle. I recommend you read the reviews on this one.

Quote:
Product Features

  • Play 625 games at each of 4 difficulty levels
  • Keep track of your personal best scores for each puzzle
  • Save multiple games in progress

Product Description
It never fails. You have to be at an important meeting at 6 p.m. You jump on the freeway at 5:30, sure you have plenty of time when--oh no! Gridlock!

Traffic Jam
Most of the time, rush hour is--to say the least--no fun for all involved. But not when you're talking about Rush Hour, the classic puzzle game that has gone from an awkward plastic board to awesome digital app in this incredibly addicting game for Android.

The concept couldn't be simpler. You are the red car. A rainbow-hued variety of automobiles block your path to the exit. Honking your horn won't help. You're going to have to figure out how to slide the cars around in such a way as to clear your path. (No, smashing into them is not an option.)

Word Game Pro 3 1/2 stars

Quote:
Product Features

  • Refreshing strategic twist on the word puzzle game
  • Practice mode allows for unlimited play
  • Thousands of words to find using the SOWPODS word list
  • 51 hidden words to uncover as a side quest
  • Local and global high scores

Product Description

Word Game Pro adds some strategic spice to the familiar word game puzzle. The game centers on a mad scramble to construct words from a row of seven random letters, which change each round. Word Game Pro adds to the challenge by also letting you see letters that are about to come into play, offering you the chance to plan ahead--to develop a strategy.

Strategic Word Play
With Word Game Pro on your Android device, you will be treated to a unique word-finding experience that combines the creative thinking required for most word games with a strategic twist that involves looking ahead at the next eight available letters. As those letters are revealed, you have to balance careful observation with strategic thinking to build up combos and fill in words as fast as you can. Watch the bar at the top of the screen fill up a little each time that you successfully submit a word. Rack your brain to find the longest word possible for the most points before time runs out.

Default Viber - for free calls and text.

Not sure if this has been posted. I didn't find it anywhere. Thought you guys might be interested.

Viber, now available to Android phones too. Viber | Free calls, free voip, free phone calls from iPhone and Android

Quote:
"Viber is an application for iPhone® and Android™ phones that lets you make free phone calls and send text messages to anyone who also has the application installed.

You can call or text any Viber user, anywhere in the world, for free. Viber integrates seamlessly with your existing address book, has great sound quality and once activated, does not require a PIN, username or any additional "in application" purchase. All Viber features are 100% FREE!
Soon to be available also for BlackBerry!"
They'll probably start charging once they have enough people using it. But for now, it's free and works great, even on international calls.
