This question of how hardcore gamers would enjoy a title is always focus of our reporting on new Android games. Usually our Spottlight feature articles discuss the most popular and critically acclaimed premium Android games. We generally stick to the genres that are most popular in the hardcore gaming sphere.

This concept of core gaming on Android cuts to the central focus of Hardcore Droid. We are looking to laud mobile games, more particularly Android games that contain the depth, richness and narrative complexity of hardcore video games.

Consequently, all of our articles, including New Android Game Reporting and Android gaming news articles, highlight the focus of core gaming on Android.
