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.

The 6 best tablets for watching movies in 2024

Two iPad Pro tablets next to each other against a black background. Both have Apple's Magic Keyboard case.

Tablets are incredibly versatile devices, allowing you to surf the web, check your emails, or play games without the need for a larger (and clunkier) laptop. But one of the most popular ways to use a tablet is as a screen for your favorite movies and TV shows. Since they're slim enough to pack into a backpack and light enough to prop up while laying in bed or on the couch, tablets are a great way to catch up on your favorite shows.

However, not all tablets are great for watching movies and TV shows. Some are built with lackluster displays that can't capture the nuances of important scenes, while others are cheap and unreliable – making them a poor long-term investment. That can make it difficult to shop for the best tablets for watching movies, as there are hundreds of products vying for your attention. But if you know where to look, it's easy to find a premium tablet that'll serve you well for years.

Samsung just launched a secret Android tablet

Three Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2024 tablets next to each other, in mint, pink, and black.

Samsung just launched a new Android tablet, but you probably didn't know anything about it. That's because the company has quietly released a new version of the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite in Romania, and it's done so without any fanfare — no launch event, trailer, press release, or anything.

The 2024 model of the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is now listed on Samsung's Romanian website. Although we don't know how much it costs — or if/when it's coming to other markets — we do know what the tablet looks like and what specs it's packing.
