Google's new experiment called Roll It gives you chance to play a arcade game called Skee.    And the requirements are rather simple and free.  All you need is a smartphone and a PC with Chrome browser installed and you are on! The games allows you to pit yourself against two other players.  The aim of Skee is to roll the  ball into an inclined lane in order to make them fall into holes that have points. The holes further away have the most points while the ones closer and easier to target have fewer points.

Try this new game by heading out to Roll It on your PC and generating a code.  After you get the code, start Chrome on your mobiles and head over to g.co/rollit.  Pair your friends phone and tilt the phone to choose number of players you want to play against. Done that, now to play you need to aim from your phone and then swing it in order to aim. The game guarantees a few fun hours on a boring day indoors with a couple of friends. 

Unlike most other Chrome Experiment games, you can play this game solo also.  This is the second game in succession to Racer that Google has released after its Google I/O.

Battlestone from Zynga available free for Android and iOS devices, get it now

Zynga  today released a brand new game for iOS and Android devices, titled 'Battlestone'.  The game play involves hack and slash RPG much similar like the Diablo and Torchlight.  But Zynga claims that the game has a unique fighting mechanic.  

And what it says is true, the game comes with a unique approach for combats.  Instead of mashing your enemy up, you have to swipe the enemy till its dead.   This means swiping either an attack pattern, or even deciding the order of enemies you attack by swiping among the enemy ranks. 

The tagline of the game says it all: Swipe away evil. The characters in the game have skills that revolve around the mechanic of swiping. For example, after starting a whirlwind-styled attack, players can draw a path on the ground to make the character move along it.  The more deeper you go into the game, the more characters you can collect.  And each one has a unique ability to help you out.   The ability to summon and upgrade heroes is meant to add a level of tactics to the game as you will require heros with different abilities to destroy different enemies.  

Check out the pre-launch trailer from Zynga 

If you like what you see, you can head to the Apple Store if you have a iOS device and Google Play if you have a Android device.
