Ready for a taste of the future of Android gaming? Back in January, rumors of an all you can eat Android gaming service began to circulate. Today, GameTanium Mobile has turned those rumors to reality with the launch of its subscription gaming service which includes a library of over 75 games. Additional titles will be added weekly and over 200 premium titles are expected by year’s end.
As tech aficionados we’re not in the business of sparing expense on our gadgets, but when it comes to apps we’re always looking for deals. GameTanium opens the door to savings with unlimited access to its library of games for $4.99 per month (£3/month). The service is built off of Extent’s existing subscription service for online games, the same service powering on-demand gaming platforms for companies such as Verizon, T-Mobile and Qwest.
Currently, the 75 titles are highlighted by Farm Frenzy, Wave Blazer, Speedx 3D, and Majesty Fantasy Kingdom Sim. The hope is that Exent’s existing partners such as PopCap and Ubisoft will step up to the plate and include premium titles to the subscription service. Whether or not heavy hitters stand behind GameTanium could make or break the service.
Additional factors to consider are that the games are downloaded to your Android device, taking up precious storage and require a validation process before they are playable. Also, like the Amazon Appstore, removing the GameTanium software renders all previously downloaded game unusable. The final crux is that GameTanium is a non-Market app which means whether or not you can install the app depends on your carrier.
The concept sounds great, but will GameTanium lock in the premium titles it needs to succeed?
