Unless you’re an über-gamer, there’s no need to carry a dedicated portable gaming device when you rock an Android phone. The games may not have autostereoscopy 3D effects like Nintendo’s upcoming 3DS, but some of them already have graphics on par with the PlayStation Portable.

In early June, TechCredo.com covered Android 3D games, as well as console emulation, and now it’s time for a video overview of what Android currently has to offer when it comes to gaming. I will try to keep this post updated with the latest cool videos of Android games.

• Polarbit Android 3D Games
• Assorted 3D Games for Android
• Miscellaneous Games

If you’re a fan of the show as well, here is a collection of Breaking Bad wallpapers that can be used as homescreen backgrounds on Android phones. Some of the pictures are available in slightly dimmed versions as well, in order to provide a better contrast.

A few days later, I tried another TouchWiz port available at the xda-developers – this time one that was made specifically for the HTC Desire. I won’t link to it here, because that .apk caused my very first Force Close Loop. I had only read about them earlier, but now I experienced one myself. A ‘force close loop’ is when an application is forced closed, and then automatically launched again, then forced closed, and it goes on and on and because of this, you can’t access any of Android’s menus and kill the loop.

In my case, even rebooting my HTC Desire didn’t help, since the TouchWiz port was launched every time the phone was started. That’s when I turned to Google and learned about Android’s Safe Mode.

How to Start Your Android Phone in Safe Mode / How to Get Out of a Force Close Loop

• Turn off your Android device. Even though you’re stuck in a force close loop, you should be able to do it the normal way – if not, just remove the battery.
• Hold down the hardware Menu button on your phone.
• While pressing the Menu button, turn on your phone and keep holding down the Menu button until your phone has fully started.
• You should now see “Safe Mode” printed in the lower-left corner of your screen. When you’re in safe mode, no third-party apps are loaded, and you can easily uninstall the app that caused the force close loop by going to Settings > Applications > Manage applications.

This post lists what I believe to be the top 10 Android blogs at the time of writing. They all cover Android apps, games, handsets, rumors and basically everything related to the OS. By following these blogs, you won’t miss a thing in the world of Android, and I have at least half of them in my own RSS feed. However, these are all American websites – in case you live outside the US, a regional blog about Android might prove a great addition.

It took a while for me to fully appreciate Android and Me, but it grew on me and now it’s probably my favorite Android blog. The site has a professional (albeit slightly crowded) design, especially since the overhaul in beginning of the summer, and the content is usually varied and of fine quality. Among else, Android and Me highlights apps, games, new phones, rumors and hands-on videos. There are generally about 5-10 new posts daily during weekdays.

Another solid and well-regarded Android blog, who claims to be the first independent website dedicated to Android news. Regardless of what you may think of the occasional use of CAPS, and the slightly arrogant tone in some of the posts, Phandroid is definitely one of the most professional and reliable Android blogs out there, with an expanding network of sites including AndroidForums and AndroidApplications. I also enjoy Phandroid’s handy Phones section, that tries to list all the upcoming and currently available Android devices.

DroidDog is PhoneDog.com‘s site that is solely dedicated to Android, with five editors that cover various areas of Google’s OS. Most Android blogs mainly provide news for regular users, but one thing I like about DroidDog is that they write for power users, modders and hackers as well. I also enjoy the quite clean and accessible no-frills design of the site.

AndroidCentral is the latest addition to the Smartphone Experts family of sites, alongside PreCentral.net, CrackBerry.com et cetera. It’s a frequently updated blog about all things Android; it’s not uncommon with 15 new posts a day.

Yep, you guessed it: another quality blog about Android that is worth following. Androinica, part of the YulMedia Blog Network, is dedicated to covering Android app reviews, news, phones, tutorials and tips. One of my personal favorites.

An excellent source for news and rumors about you-know-what. One of the bigger and better Android sites, online since late 2007, even though I feel they’ve been falling behind a bit lately.

Droid Life may still be a comparatively small fish in the sea of Android, but this blog with focus on the Droid brand of Android devices is actually quite good.

The heart of this site is the community forum, which currently has over 80 000 members, that discuss Android in all ways possible. Android Community‘s main page also offers a blog, with all the typical sort of news.

This blog has also been around since my interest for Android started, and I’ve visited it occasionally. It’s good, but for some reason (the site layout?) it appears a wee bit less professional than some of the other Android blogs on this list.

AndroidAuthority.com is operated as part of the MobileBurn.com network of sites, and while I may not be too fond of the site’s design, I think it deserves to be on this list.

And then of course there is the cell-phone news giant Engadget Mobile, which even though it naturally does not cover Android exclusively, still is a great source for major Android news.
