It's always good to have some competition.
Pocket Gamer has been reviewing Android games for over a year now, but it's a mark of platform's growing importance especially in the US, that IGN Wireless, which previously limited its coverage to iOS, is now covering the platforms.
Dancing the robot way
"It looks like Apple really has a challenger in Android, Google's smartphone OS," says editor Levi Buchanan in a post explaining the move.
"The market has certainly spoken, as Android popularity is growing every quarter.
"But it's not just market share numbers that inspired us to start covering Android. You've been vocal about your desire to see Android on IGN. And so today, IGN launches its coverage of Android."
The site has kicked off its coverage with 11 games, the majority of which have also been released on iPhone.
