Instagram update (Free)

Whats it about? A new filter and new languages have come to one of the most popular photography apps on Android.

Whats cool? Instagram has suffered from its share of public relations missteps lately, with lots of users deleting the app because of changes to its terms of service. If youre still with the app, though, youll at least get someth ing for your loyalty specifically, a new filter added in the apps most recent update called Mayfair. Theres also support for 25 more languages with the update, and the ability to share Instagram photos to Facebook pages. As always, the app is filled with easy-to-apply photo filters and sharing capabilities, as well as its own social networking tools like the ability to view, comment on and favorite other peoples photos.

Whos it for? If you like vintage photography and social photos (and youre not angry over the change to ToS that has the Internet in an uproar), Instagram is for you.

Whats it like? The recently updated Twitter app also contains photo filters of its own, and alternatively, theres Paper Camera for other cool effects.

Pitfall! (Free)

Whats it about? Activisions gaming classic has been reimagined as a third-person endless runner, much like Temple Run and similar titles.

Whats cool? Taking a page from the popular Temple Run, Pitfall! is mostly about running through the jungle and avoiding obstacles by jumping, sliding, and juking back and forth. But Activision has added a lot of other features, like animals you have to fight off with Harrys whip, sections of the game that have you riding a moped scooter or running through a village, and more.

Whos it for? Like other runners, Pitfall! is a fun and addictive way to waste a few minutes, so if you like games like that, check out this one.

Whats it like? Temple Run is an obvious comparison, as is Temple Run: Brave.

Dueling Blades (Free)

Whats it about? A mix of role-playing, fighting and turn-based strategy genres, Dueling Blades is a multiplayer fantasy game with an interesting way of depicting its battles.

Whats cool? As mentioned, Dueling Blades mixes elements of a number of genres to create its unique gameplay. It combines both real-time and turn-based strategy elements, meaning you and your opponents enter your moves for each turn at the same time, and theyre executed simultaneously. Youll need to anticipate what your opponent is going to do, while they try to do the same with you. The game includes multiple classes of fighters from which to choose, and you can improve them over time as you play through either the story mode or Dueling Blades multiplayer mode.

Whos it f or? If you like strategy titles and taking down real opponents in online multiplayer, Dueling Blades is worth your attention.

Whats it like? Battle Fury and Great Big War Game will also please strategy game fanatics.
