Fun video about getting the WildTangent Games App for your Android mobile phone or tablet

Actress Janine Turner stars in our video showing you how to install the WildTangent Games App onto your Android mobile phone and tablet.  Janine flew up to our headquarters in Redmond, Washington to help demonstrate how easy and fun it is.

It was like “old home week” for her.  Many of the Northern Exposure TV episodes were taped right around the corner from our WildTangent Redmond offices!  She was a joy to work with and we think she explains the simple install details very clearly.

Remember, with the Games App you get to play premium games for free, rent them for a fraction of the price or own them.  You choose.  Of course all of your WildCoins you use on your PC or laptop can be used on your Android phone or tablet as well.

Enjoy–and tell us what you think!

If you’re snowed in like we are here at WildTangent, you may have an interest in a little action and adventure with our Best Enthusiast Games of 2011!  Our best-selling series and favorite in this category is FATE: The Cursed King, where you’ll fight your way through vast and varied dungeons on your quest to break the terrible curse that threatens your home.  Looking for Sci-Fi instead?  Then, try SINGULARITY, where you’ll fight enemies from the past, the present, and abominations caught somewhere in between.  Or, check out Dead Rising 2: Off the Record where you’ll face off against twisted enemies, build outrageous combo weapons and explore brand new areas of Fortune City.  If you want more even more action, then we highly recommend Off-Road Drive, a true-to-life, extreme racing experience where the terrain under your vehicle will act just like it does in real life; the car will sink in dirt, stones will fly from underneath the wheels and damage other cars.  Lastly, we have two different simulation games that we think you’ll love.  In Agricultural Simulator 2011, take on the role of farmer as you breed cattle, grow crops, and market the produce you cultivate.  In Cities XL 2012 you design, build, and link up cities of all shapes and sizes with an amazing variety of nearly 1,000 buildings and more than 60 maps.

Underworld Awakening Free Game for the Upcoming Movie

Underworld Awakening: The Game, is a new free fighting game at WildTangent tied to the 4th film in the Underworld franchise releasing in theaters on 1/20/12. You can find it at: http://www.wildtangent.com/Games/underworld-awakening. It allows you to take part in the eternal battle between Vampires and Lycans that has been told through the film franchise.

The game is styled as a one-on-one death match where fast and decisive moves can mean the difference in your character’s survival. Sony Pictures and WildTangent Inc., have worked in conjunction to develop the game , with an Android version coming soon for smartphones.

You can fight as a female Death Dealer in story mode to follow some of the action that will take place in the film. Then, work your way up to a final enemy, an Uber-Lycan, that is larger and more powerful than anything in the Underworld universe. Arcade Mode allows players to have some fun by playing on either side of battle. Play as any of the Vampires or Lycans featured in the game, including the Uber-Lycan once it has been defeated in story mode.

Each character has its own set of attacks, a special move (firing a gun or a vicious bite), and a powerful finishing move that players enter by following on screen prompts. Logging in to the game through Facebook is optional, and recommended if you want to challenge friends and maintain achievements. You can choose up to 5 pre-defined fighting moves- and can then send them to a friend in the form of a challenge. Your friend will have the opportunity to respond/counter your moves in real time. Once accepted the friend can enter his or her moves and let the battle begin.

You can also play solo if you choose. By choosing the social format will be able to find a queue of friend battles that have been sent and await them.

WildTangent has also created a light version that will deploy within Brandboost in front of core, enthusiast and action games.

Underworld Awakening, the movie, hits theaters on 01.20.2012. Enjoy the free game!

Happy New Year!
