below once your ex is a early new launcher that seems to blend a simple premise with some complex ideas it's built on the AOSP three launchers so it's fairly close to stock in terms of performance and look but the developers have added plenty of extra goodies they include a metric ton of customization options gesture controls swipeable docks a slide out drawer and you can even recreate the Google now launcher functionality it's new which means the little rough around the edges but it's worth a shot the space jet is an online aviation shooter where you must fly a spaceship and shoot down other people who are also flying spaceships the controls are surprisingly good and the game is actually quite a bit of fun to play as you play you unlock upgrades for your spaceship that can do a lot more damage give you powers like camouflage and a whole lot more it is a freemium game so there is a bit of a pay to win mechanic and there are some ads here and there but it's an above-average multiplayer shooter Metro 2033 Wars is an open-world strategy game based on the book of the same name you play in a post-apocalyptic wasteland as you do battle with rival factions you'll also be tasked with strengthening and improving your specific metro station which adds a bit of simulation and city building elements as well it's a tad expensive but it is a pay once game with no in-app purchases and it's a great pick up if you like strategy games lego nexo knights is the newest game from lego that's meant to accompany the short series of videos that follow the same storyline this is a hack and slash style of game where you must defeat the evil jestro and save the kingdom this is meant to be played with accompanying action figures which can be scanned for additional powers but it's playable without them as well it's good for older kids and it's also free with no in-app purchases the gods of Rome is the latest release out of gameloft and interestingly enough this one is a fighting game it's sort of a call back to the fighting games of old and the mechanics are similar to games such as injustice and soul calibur there is actually a story to this one and your role is to fight to restore peace in your era it's simple yes but fighting games generally are it's a freemium game so you can expect some pay to win mechanics but overall it's not half bad once again I'm Joe Hindy the
