Gaming today is done on a large variety of devices. Smart phones, tablets, gaming consoles, and PCs are among the most popularly used gaming mediums today. Many times I’ve found myself wanting to play the latest addicting Android games on my PC but can’t find the flash equivalent. Now with BlueStacks, it is possible to run Android’s 750,000 applications right on your PC or Mac.
One of my all-time favorite mobile phone applications is Temple Run. I couldn’t find a flash application for PCs that was exactly like it, but I did find something even better: BlueStacks. This amazing cross platform software allows you to run all of Android’s applications on a regular PC or Mac computer. Every type of game ranging from puzzle games to casino games like the ones found at www.luckynuggetcasino.com can now be played on a desktop or laptop computer.
I play a lot of Texas Holdem on my Android device and got addicted to the application. Of course there are a variety of online versions of Holdem I can play, but I liked this specific app. BlueStacks is perfect for playing it on my computer and in full screen. It still let’s me interact with millions of card players over the internet as well. All of the online functions that you’re used to on your smart phone work on the computer as well.
You may be wondering how much a cool program like this costs, and the answer is it’s free. Well that’s not totally true; it’s free as of now. Right now the program is in the beta stage which means they’re testing it with users to work out all the kinks. Don’t worry though; the program has been publically available for two years now and I extensively used the software for hours without any issues.
BlueStacks currently has over 5 million users in 100 countries with many more to come. BlueStacks continues to gain traction and in June 2012 it was announced Asus would preload over 30 million of its computers with the software. The application also won CNET’s CES 2012 aware for innovative technology.
