Best Android apps reviewed October 2, 2011 – October 8, 2011. Check out the last month’s best Android apps reviewed…

Asteroid 2012 $0.99 Asteroid 2012 is a strap-yourself-in space blaster based on the old Atari game. This time putting you into a full 3D environment with alien ships and infinite asteroids to destroy, the game is a quality update of an old-school classic. If that wasn’t enough, there is also a retro- 2D mode to play too!

Drop the Star Free Drop the Star is a cute, colorful but challenging physics based game. Our cute star is afraid of the height. Use your finger to destroy the blocks, and land the star on the safe base. You can earn points by completing levels, and use the earned points to buy power-ups in the in-game store.

Weather, US Radar, Alerts, Quakes $2.99 Weather, US Radar, Alerts, Quakes is a comprehensive and detailed weather and alerts application that is easy to use and comes with more widgets than you could wiggle a stick at. The depth this app has in comparison to other weather applications is quite staggering. While it’s not as gloriously pretty as BeWeather or GOWeather, the range of statistics and forecasts it’s capable of is very impressive indeed. Recently an Amazon free App of the Day, if you need the kind of detail a deep-sea fisherman might want- this is just for you!

Regina 3D Launcher Free Regina 3D Launcher is a cool alternative home launcher for your Android. With silky screen transitions a handful of useful widgets and coming in at the astounding price of ‘FREE’, it definitely is worth a look if you fancy a change. The app has quite a few cool and unique features which this review will touch upon. So, if you tire of your ADW’s and LauncherPro’s, your Sense feels a bit dry and your GO Launcher EX feels somewhat stale… Regina 3D Launcher might be just the remedy.

Hanging With Friends Free Hanging With Friends is the new Android game from Zynga… the developer that brought us the likes of Words With Friends and Zynga Poker. You might not have heard of it, but they also created a little Facebook game called Farmville. Whether you hate them due to unprecedented requests and invites spamming your Facebook wall, or this review has thus far simply reminded you that you need to harvest some raspberries, Zynga’s ability to make popular games is without question. Hanging With Friends is a spin on the pencil and paper game ‘Hangman’, and lets you compete against a worldwide community of players. With rich graphics and challenging gameplay, it has already been downloaded heavily by many users on the Android Market… the question is… should you?
