Japanese Gaming Giant GREE Debuts Its First U.S.-Designed Title For Western Audiences

Zombie Jombie Screenshot 10GREE, the $5.9 billion Japanese mobile gaming company making a big push in international markets, debuted its first-ever title designed by U.S. talent for Western audiences today. Taking the evergreen Zombie theme that has fueled countless mobile gaming hits, GREE's game "Zombie Jombie" is designed from the perspective of zombies who must battle humans. In the game, players become a "Jombie," which has the power to raise and control zombies. It's a trading card game where players must build a deck of cards representing different zombies to compete with friends. They can battle each other, bosses, or do quests in different U.S. cities. This game is a big test for GREE. Compared to U.S. gaming companies like Zynga, the company is almost absurdly profitable. The company made 12.7 billion yen ($152.7 million) on 41.5 billion yen ($497.8 million) in revenue in the last quarter alone. And those numbers were about triple what they were a year earlier. Zynga in contrast did $37.2 million in net income excluding a massive, one-time charge related to its IPO on $311.2 million in revenue in the same period. GREE has basically triple the margin that Zynga does. Crazy. The question is: can it grow outside of its home market of Japan?

Runkeeper for Android [App Review]

Android Central

Getting into shape can be quite a struggle, and without being able to track your progress it makes it even more difficult. When I began running it was very hard for me to understand how far I ran, how long it took me, and more importantly how I was going to be able to track how I progressed daily. Runkeeper for Android is a great application that is available as a free download that not only allows you to track your runs, but nearly any other physical activity you can think of as well.

Getting set up with Runkeeper is an extremely easy process, an account will have to be created but it requires only basic information. After you enter your height, weight, gender and some other information your account is set up and ready to be used. The main screen that launches from here will allow you to select what type of activity you will be performing, whether it be running, cycling, walking or any other type of physical activity.

Dolphin Browser arrives in BlackBerry App World, now with developer's permission

Dolphin Browser arrives in BlackBerry App World, this time with developer's permission
Everybody loves happy endings, so it's with this in mind that we bring you news of the official "sanctioned" arrival of Dolphin Browser within the BlackBerry App World. At version 7.2, this app isn't quite as fresh as its native Android counterpart -- which sits at version 7.5 in the Play Store and offers Sonar voice features -- but it still brings its webzine and gesture-driven mannerisms that many appreciate. As you may recall, this isn't the first time that the Dolphin Browser has graced the App World, but this time around, it was submitted by MoboTap -- so yeah, they know it's in there. If you happen to have a PlayBook and would like to try the alternative browser, be sure to hit up the source link.

Ask DLS: What's your primary Web browser?

Competition is a good thing, and the browser arena has been a fierce arena for years now. There are at least four "major" browsers each vying for your attention, along with lots of smaller spin-offs (SRWare Iron or Flock, anyone?).

While the browser usage charts we share from time to time show overall browser usage amongst the Web at large, Download Squad readers are not exactly the average bunch in terms of browser use. So today we have one simple question for you:

What's your primary Web browser?
