Phosphor Games Studio, a highly regarded developer of innovative video games, confirmed that The Dark Meadow will look better than ever when it makes its Android debut in early 2012 with upgraded tech and features.

Just announced during the Spike TV “Video Game Awards 2011″ this past Saturday, the Android version will deliver enhanced visuals and physics resulting from the integration of the new NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 quad-core mobile processor, as well as new gameplay features including new game modes, story elements, levels and characters.

“The response we’ve received since launching The Dark Meadow has been incredible.  It’s clear that mobile players want console-style production values in their games,” said Chip Sineni, Director at Phosphor Games Studios. “We’re very excited to work with NVIDIA on incorporating Tegra 3′s quad-core power and give Android owners an unrivaled visual experience to add to our new game modes, levels and characters.”

Developed utilizing the acclaimed Unreal Engine 3, The Dark Meadow is a stunning first-person, action/adventure game where players fight to escape a nightmare world filled with fantastical creatures bent on destroying them. You awake in a hospital uncertain of how you arrived there or why. An old man warns of a beautiful witch whose minions roam the halls seeking to kill the living. It is only when the witch is destroyed that you will be released from this unrelenting torment.

As you explore the photo-realistic world, you will need both your crossbow for ranged combat as well as your sword for in close, melee combat.  Gesture-based “pull back and fire” as well as slashing combat will be instantly recognizable to touch screen players, and node-based movement through the world makes navigation simple yet compelling.

Role-playing game mechanics enhance the exploration, as a wide variety of items are secreted throughout the world from hidden scraps of paper that reveal the mystery of your imprisonment, to money which can be used to purchase better equipment and weapons.

The Dark Meadow arrives on Android in early 2012 and will be available in English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and Italian.  An exact date and price will be announced shortly.

Editor’s note

While this isn’t iPhone or Mac related, The Dark Meadow is a highly popular iOS game and we thought it would be helpful to let any of those who do happen to own both an iOS device and Android device (or just an Android device) know that this game is coming next year.

Yes, I know this already — PocketFullOfApps is dedicated to everything iOS, Apple, and Mac with an occasional exception for a post dealing with Android. This time, the exception is pretty good I think. Youtube user, TrevorEckhart, has uncovered a big privacy concern that deals with Android phones. What is this privacy concern you ask? Carrier IQ. Carrier IQ is an application that runs as a background process of your phone without you even knowing of, opting out of, or even being able to remove for that matter. Rather than me ramble on and explain it all to you, watch the video below (farther down are times for the main highlights).

World Gaming Executives, the business network hub for the world’s gaming elite, has launched its first ever digital download magazine, WGE:MAG.

Produced by UK-based, digital media and marketing start-up, Moshen Limited, the magazine is free to download from the World Gaming Executives website and comes packed with a wide range of features and interviews.

The inaugural edition features an exclusive interview with Beenox‘s Executive Producer, Brant Nicholas, about their latest Spider-Man release.

WGE:MAG also looks at the work of Antix Labs and their AGP technology which could be set to revolutionise the games market for both developers and consumers.

The magazine includes a feature on Fiksu founder, Micah Adler, who explains why his app user acquisition platform has seen tremendous growth since launching earlier this year.

With a bumper 52-pages, there is a wide range of gaming content, including areas of interest such as mobile games, video games, gamification, voice-over work, artwork, careers, licensing and so much more.

Speaking about the launch of the magazine, WGE Director John Armstrong said:

“The gaming industry has so many facets to it and it has been a long-term ambition to bring together the many people and businesses that work within the industry.”

“The gaming community has a fantastic synergy and includes game studios, mobile content companies, model makers, graphic designers, comic artists, movie producers, TV show license holders, gaming/gambling companies and a whole host of businesses with many and varied interests in game production.”

“WGE:MAG is the culmination of that work and this magazine is an opportunity to showcase the many elements that make the global gaming industry one of the most exciting environments to work in.”

A few days ago, @wyndwarrior ported the popular Android keyboard tweak, Swype, over to iOS via Cydia. The update adds the blue line, functionality for more apps, and it is much more responsive than below! So, yeah over to the Cydia Store and download the update!

Edit: looks like 0.3.0 was released before this was posted. It added a new suggestions feature in case the tweak gets the word you typed wrong. It’s a really nice feature!
