Four Celebrity Mobile Games You Must Try

Being top of your chosen profession is never enough for today’s celebrities.

Winning trophies, acting in the biggest movies or having millions of followers on social media is only the start of a celebrity’s earnings or project. Whatever industry they are in, there will be some attempt to branch out into something new. For instance, a basketball player might launch a fashion range, or a social media star might release a record.

Celebrity endorsements work for both the company and the celebrity, according to Medium.com. Of course, the company gets a boost from being associated with a popular icon, but that person also expands their reach into a new market, maybe finding new fans.

One way some celebrities have sought to expand their reach is through video games. With the rise of mobile apps, it is natural that some celebrities will seek to develop their persona through the medium of mobile, reaching people in their own homes on an interactive level. Some celebrity mobile games have been successes, and others have not, but one thing is certain – good or bad, they do generate publicity and column inches for those they feature.

So, here are four such games you could try today if you dare!

Kim Kardashian Hollywood





If you asked 1,000 people which celebrity they thought would release an app to drive their brand, probably half would answer back with a Kardashian. Kim Kardashian was the first member of the family to spring to people’s attention unless you watched the OJ case of course, and it stands to reason she has her own app. It was one of the first of the genre and allows you to create your very own star to walk the red carpet, go to clubs and find love. Virtually, of course.

Cristiano Ronaldo: Kick’n’Run



Ronaldo is a real celebrity, a man not only at the very top of his profession but one who has been there for over a decade. He wins trophies and acts as a role model for millions on the soccer field, so it may surprise a few to find he is the star of a soccer-based platform game. Instead of taking CR7 around a sports field, he had to jump, dodge and kick his way around Moscow in this title, collecting coins along the way. It’s an endless runner game, but well worth checking out if you are a fan of the genre. Just don’t expect to curl in a 25-yard free-kick at any point.

Save Dan



Dan Bilzerian is a celebrity for the modern age, built on a social media profile and a lifestyle he presents, rather than any skills he has. Bilzerian claims to have won millions playing poker, reports Poker.org, but those claims are disputed. He is something of a gamer though, and not just around the poker tables. He showed off his games room in a series of Instagram posts recently, obviously, and appears to be a keen player of first-person shooters. He would have to be keen to glean enjoyment from his own rather indulgent mobile game, which was not well received by gamers if UniLad is to be believed. The object was to save him, the Dan of the title, from hordes of bikini-clad zombies. Sigh.

Sniper X with Jason Statham



Jason Statham is an actor usually appearing in high-octane action adventures in which he fights the world and wins. He made his name in Guy Ritchie’s British gangster films of the late nineties, and as you would imagine his mobile game plays very much into his acting roles. You are a part of Statham’s fictional elite paramilitary team SPEAR, using your acute sniper skills in a first-person fixed-perspective shooter to battle terror groups and stereotypical bad guys in desert locations around the world. In fairness to Statham, it is not a bad effort and certainly more playable, and believable than Bilzerian’s zombie romp.

Who doesn’t enjoy listening to a good story. Personally I love reading about the people who inspire me and what it took for them to achieve their success. As I am a bit of a self confessed tech geek I think there is no better way to discover these stories than by reading every day some articles or the newspaper . My bookcases are filled with good tech biographies, they remind me that anyone can be a success. So even if you come from an underprivileged part of society or you aren’t the smartest person in the room we all have a chance to reach the top. The same message shines in my beliefs. All it takes to succeed is a good idea, a little risk and a lot of hard work and any geek can become a success. VENI VIDI VICI .

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
