The Amazing Spider Man

Spiderman

Yeah, it's $6.99 but it's a great game that Gameloft appears to of have spent a lot of time on. Unlike some of the other 'movie based' junk out there. If you're looking to play it on your phone, don't. However, if you have a tablet make sure you add this one to your list. The game is simple, you're Spiderman.. fight the bad guys save the city. Simple... right? [Download from PandaApp]

Google Earth (Free)

Earth

OK, OK -- maybe I'm cheating just a little bit by choosing a Google app as my weekly pick. But the fact is that Google Earth has undergone such a major change in the recent version 7.0 update that it's definitely worth a second look. The biggest change, of course, is the new support for 3D buildings and terrain, starting with twelve European and American cities -- you'll see San Francisco in the screenshot above. And in order to highlight this, Google's programmed several virtual tours into the Earth, allowing you to take in a quick fly-by view of various landmarks in the area.

Bear in mind you'll need a fairly powerful device (and a speedy Internet connection) to handle the downloading and rendering of all this 3D stuff. That said, if you've got a newer device like the HTC One X or Galaxy S III, you're sure to be in four a real visual treat.

Google Earth, as ever, is available for free from the Google Play Store. [Download from Google Play]

London

This month sees the start of the 2012 Olympic games, one of the biggest events to take place in the UK in my lifetime. There's a couple of apps that have appeared but this latest is what you're going to need to help keep track of all the goings on at the games.
An official app, this offers a full schedule of events. And, when the games are underway, will offer a comprehensive results list. And the medals table, which Team GB will be towards the top of! There's also a live channel that will be mighty useful when you're wanting to catch up with whatever is currently happening. It's also optimized for use with tablets too, which is always nice to see.
