Gameloft confirms a list of upcoming games for Sony Tablets

Mobile game maker Gameloft is behind some of the most wildly popular apps that aren’t called Angry Birds. The studio has built a business around delivering a console-like experience on the smallest of screens (plus tablets), with titles like Gangstar and Order & Chaos very clearly aping Grand Theft Auto and World of Warcraft (admittedly not a console game), respectively. So it should be no surprise to hear that work is underway on porting several of the company’s hits to Sony‘s two Android tablets.

The Sony Tablet S arrived earlier this month while the dual screen Sony Tablet P is still coming soon, but both will soon be home to Gameloft’s HD offering of titles. The list includes some of the more well-received recent games from the studio, including Asphalt 6: Adrenaline HD, N.O.V.A. 2: Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance HD, Real Soccer 2011 HD, Spider-Man: Total Mayhem HD and Green Farm HD. The games will all be available before the end of the year, if they’re not up already (Sony Tablet S owners?).

It’ll be interesting to see if Gameloft does anything specific to the P tablet, since its dual-screen setup offers some unique presentation possibilities that you don’t see on other devices of this type. Perhaps not Sony Tablet-exclusive games, but even ports from other platforms that might not otherwise be a good fit for a single-screen device.

Android rooting is the ideal way to get more control over your smartphone, opening up a world of unknown possibilities, but it’s important to approach it with caution. Rooting isn’t without its risks -- and if something goes wrong, it can void your warranty, leave you with a broken smartphone or tablet, or worse.
Before proceeding, it is important to understand that rooting is not always a straightforward process, and you may encounter hiccups along the way. If you decide that you absolutely need to root your Android device, continue below, but know that it isn't for the faint of heart or technology-inexperienced.
Manufacturers and carriers will dissuade you from rooting, and they aren't just scaremongering. If you don't follow instructions properly, the worst-case scenario can irreparably damage your device, but many people feel that the potential benefits are well worth it. With a rooted phone, you can remove bloatware, speed up your processor, and customize every element of your phone software's appearance.
This guide on how to root Android phones will walk you through the steps to root your device. While we can root some phones in minutes, others are going to take a little more research.
