Gameloft to back Google's Nexus 7 with 10 top releases

Gameloft has thrown its support behind Google's flagship tablet the Nexus 7  by revealing 10 of its Android titles will be optimised for the Jelly Bean slate.

Eight of those titles are out now, including N.O.V.A. 3 and Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation. Two others The Amazing Spider-Man and Asphalt 7: Heat will be 'releasing soon.'

The Nexus 7, which was unveiled at Google's I/O conference, is expected to start shipping to consumers within the next 2-3 weeks.

Gameloft notes that I/O attendees can see for themselves how the Nexus 7's quad-core Tegra 3 processor handles N.O.V.A. 3 at the conference's developer sandbox.
