Released in December of 2009 on iOS and Android devices (and later on PSP and PS3 via the "PSMini" lineup), N.O.V.A. (Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance) was Gameloft's take on the hugely popular "Halo" series.

Surprisingly, despite releasing after Modern Combat, I found the game much more difficult to control. I think this is largely due to the enemies being a lot more active this time around, moving around and making them harder to hit. They also removed the ability to double tap the reload to switch weapons (likely due to the large arsenal you now have), as well as adding a lot of gimmicky touch screen actions (elevators, doors etc) which were just awkward to utilize.
Overall, the game is still a good time, especially if you're a Halo fan. There's no denying where it got its inspiration from, but for a mobile game in 2009 it was still quite impressive.
Recording this one actually gave me a lot of issues for some unknown reason - the Samsung screen capture software would just refuse to capture in-game audio sometimes, requiring me to replay some levels multiple times to get one with audio. This is why in some levels you might see one of the late-game weapons, as I was unaware this was an issue until had already finished the game and went to edit the footage. You might also notice that the audio seems a bit off on the level "Wrong Way out of Eden"; apologies for that. Same issue, but that level just seemed particularly fussy where even when the audio did record, it sounded terrible - Luckily I managed to fix it (for the most part) in post.
