For us in the world of Android we might not see or hear about some of the fun games over on that otherplatform, but occasionally they have some hugely popular games that haven’t quite made their way to Android yet. Take Temple Run for example. It’s been the top iOS game for a few months and has seen over 20 million downloads. I’m happy to report it will be landing on Android next month.

Temple Run is free but still currently the top grossing app on that other platform and has over 7 million players daily that are using in-app purchases or just playing for the sheer fun of it. With Android being the number one smartphone in the world this is a huge market that surely will love this game. It was originally $0.99 cents at launch but the in-app purchases have taken over. Most games like Angry Birds and many others have launched for free on Android and we expect the same to happen here.

With Temple Run you basically play an explorer running through the temples and being constantly chased by things like scary monkeys or other animals. It was designed with smartphones in mind and can be played with just one hand if needed — so this wont feel like a console port while playing and enjoying it. The entire story on how this team of a husband and wife made one of the biggest iOS games as of late, and that it will be landing on Android next month to rule our world is at the source below.

Android gaming is growing by leaps and bounds, due in no small part to the prevalent use of free games supplemented with advertising. Mobile application/advertising platform Tapjoy knows this: that’s why they set up a  fund for aspiring developers, helping them publish their apps to both Tapjoy’s directory and the Android Market. The company announced that to date, they’ve helped publish a whopping 130 Android games. To be fair, the hits are few and far between, but that’s par for the course with indie developers.

If you haven’t heard of Tapjoy themselves, you’ve almost certainly heard of a few of their affiliated titles. The Android port of Duke Nukem 3D, Gun Bros, Santa’s Village and more all use funds and services from Tapjoy. In addition to initial funding, the company provides platform sorting tools, marketing advice and a spot in their proprietary app market. The company also publishes a handful of games under its own label. Then they sell advertising in the (mostly free) games, matching vendors with the target audience for each title to maximize revenue.

The fund was initially set up with $5,000,000 to split between worthy applicants, and Tapjoy is still accepting applications. Developers, if you’d like to be a part of the Android fund, head over to www.tapjoy.com/androidfund to apply. And in the interest of informing ambitious devs, I’ll add that the company offers its services for iOS and Windows Phone 7 as well.

Kindle Fire is something like eBook and an eBook reader cum tablet PC, but as it is powered by Android OS. The Kindle Fire is not meant only for reading books and you can as well play some fantastic games on it.

Only problem is that since it’s fairly new, not too many folks are aware of the top notch games, so we’ve decided to compile this list of 5 best free games for Kindle Fire.

5 Best Free Games for Kindle Fire

Kindle Fire apps are not as popular as Android apps are, but you can easily find the basic apps that you need for regular life. Despite this fact, the number of Apps for Kindle Fire is increasing day by day, so in future you might find better games than the ones at your disposal today -

#1. Age of Conquest

You might find many RPG games over the web, but it does not mean that I am being unfair here by picking out Age of Conquest. All the RPG games are really good, though when you consider the war based games, this is the best one. In this game, you fight against European countries.

It also has 11 various battle settings, and with your war strategies you are supposed to fight and acquire your competitor’s nations.

It’s more like the Age of Conquerors in PC, and you can download it from www.ageofconquest.com/

#2. Angry Birds

Are you surprised to see this game in this list? Not really isn’t it; well, devouring this game in the list of Android platform is not something unexpected, to say the least.

Distribute your revenge on the green pigs who took the Birds’ eggs… There are tons of angry birds in the game that are ready to unleash their power on the pigs that are hard to take down (quite literally!)

Angry Birds has become one of the most popular games in the Android community in a fairly short span of time, and it’d be just unfair not to include it in this list.

#3. Sudoku Free

You might have noticed that people buying the Kindle Fire would obviously love reading books, so this makes me wonder how they’d actually live without playing Sudoku – but this is again a free app so you need not shell out even a penny on that!

#4. Tanks and Turrets

This is an action game which is totally based on tanks. It features 10 difficulty levels with about 6 different maps. As soon as you clear a level, you will get some cash which you can use it to upgrade/advance your arsenal.

#5. Weird RPG

This is another RPG games in this list. As the name suggests, it is Weird RPG as it is very much different from any other strategy game. You are required to save the Kingdom and find ancient treasure and in the meantime you should also fight with the deadly monsters. This is the perfect game if you are tired of playing the conventional games.
