Hooked Media Group has launched Hooked, an Android app that provides personalized game recommendations based on each users’ game preferences and ratings.
The Hooked app is a game recommendation and discovery platform that uses a proprietary algorithm to learn a user’s gaming preferences, game play statistics and social mapping to provide them with personalized game recommendations and advanced search features. The more games a user ranks, the more customized the recommendations will become, providing users with introductions to games that they may have never been exposed to, including those from smaller developers whose games may have not received significant exposure.
Similar to how Netflix and Pandora provide recommendations on user feedback, the Hooked app is designed to take user feedback and make the process of discovering games easier, faster and more accurate.
The app features a personal dashboard, allowing users to track all of their game play statistics; access to all installed games; details on how many games have been played and how much time has been spent playing each game; the ability to save games in your account to install and play later; and the ability to connect with friends to see what they are playing.
“As the number of games in the Android Marketplace continues to rapidly increase, it is getting harder and harder for consumers to find the games that best fit their interest,” says Hooked Media Group CEO, Prita Uppal. “The Hooked app is an easy-to-use resource that will help gamers find the ‘hidden gems’ in the Android Marketplace and deliver compelling content that until now was not receiving the attention it may have deserved.”
