Fun Fit is an app developed by HTCthat pretty much anyone can use. Fun Fit is a workout application that helps you plan daily workouts, count steps, count calories, and more. There are charts to track your performance, Facebook integration, and personalization options. We wish there were Google+ support too, but overall it’s a solid workout app for those who need something more simple.

Angry Birds Stella Pop is a new time waster out of Rovio. This one is a bubble popping game that uses characters and some game play elements of prior Angry Birds titles. As per the norm, levels get more difficult the further up the ladder and there are a few different puzzle types to help keep things fresh. It’s not amazing but it’s good, especially for kids.

Motion Tennis Cast is an Android game that uses your Chromecast to play. This unique concept uses your phone like a controller and your TV as the main screen and you play tennis by swinging your phone around. It’s very much like a Wii game and definitely one of the most unique Android games we’ve ever seen. It is a work in progress so be patient with the bugs, but otherwise it’s a fun play.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is a pseudo hack-n-slash style game where you can play as one of 91 characters including the Avengers and others. It also comes with 45 missions, battle against well-known super villains, and there are even multiple sets of controls so you can find one that suits you. The only caveat is that it’s a rather large game weighing in at 2.2GB so do beware of that.

The latest iteration of the Dungeon Hunter series contains many of the same elements as prior games, including online co-op play, a single player campaign, events, and the action RPG style game play. It is Freemium and that may upset some people, but most of the consumer complaints are due to release day bugs and not the Freemium content which is a good sign. It’s a good action RPG if you’re interested.
