With almost 25,000 games on the Android Market right now, how does one sift through all the games to find something they like? Sure, the featured games and charts do help to a certain extent, but a lot of games often go unnoticed there, especially if they are smaller, less known titles. This is where Hooked comes in. Hooked is a game recommendation and discovery platform that uses a proprietary algorithm to learn users’ gaming preferences, game play statistics and social mapping to provide them with personalized gamer recommendations and advanced search features.
With Hooked, the more games a user ranks, the more customized and better their recommendations become. All sorts of games that meet the criteria can pop up on search results even if they’re from smaller developers whose games may have not received significant exposure previously. In addition to recommending games, Hooked provides gameplay stats for folks who are interested, a quick way to access all their installed games, the ability to create a game Queue (for saving games to install and play later), and Community Discovery (to see what games other people including your friends are playing).
Sounds like a useful app for folks who have no idea what games they should try out on the Market. Hooked is a free app that is available for download now on the Android Market. Give it a shot and let us know what you think.
