Gameloft getting ready to launch two RTS games? Looks like it and they will be Settlers and Starfront: Collision!

One of our regular tipsters has spotted a couple more games from Gameloft that look like they will be landing on Android very soon. Generally when they test out the landing/sales page on their web-based store, the games are available within a week. Starfront: Collision HD's page is up (at least for now).
Also following Starfront: Collision HD is Settlers HD which is apparently already available through your phone right now even though the purchase page isn't up yet on their web store. Settlers is a pretty well known game so most people reading this will already know about what it is. Just to give you a brief idea of what Settlers HD is though, in case you haven't heard of it before, it is basically like Civilization for PC/Console. Instead of progressing through time though, it is three factions battling it out for supremacy of the land. You've got your Romans, Vikings and Mayans.

Even though it is showing up as available on Android phones right now, no word on whether it is actually purchasable just yet. The other big game coming to Android shortly, thanks to the purchase page testing, is Starfront: Collision HD. This is another RTS game like Settlers HD but instead based in the future. It also features three different factions, all with unique skill trees to level up. You have 20 missions to complete but the game doesn't end there.You'll be able to create your own fights in Skirmish mode as well. It is basically Gameloft's version of Starcraft.
Both games should follow the same pricing as all the other games they release for Android and be $4.99, available through their web-based storefront or through your phone.

Fight zombies in Among the Undead and swing your finger sword in Enblade.

Among the Undead (Free)

Even Chicago has to deal with a zombie crisis sometimes.
There’s been a virus outbreak and now the undead walk the earth. A band of survivors in the Windy City get busy staying alive. You guide them to safety and toward a better future in this hack-and-slash fest.
You’ve got a gun, an axe, a flamethrower, and a spiked bat. Time to head to Wrigley Field and swing for the fences. This demo is a teaser for an upcoming full release of this game later this spring.
Not for the faint of heart.

Enblade (Free)

Tired of slashing fruit? Get serious with your finger sword in Enblade.
Do battle in three different sword-fighting modes. Arcade is the full-on samurai duel against opponents where you’re scored for hits and time. Reflex lets test yours by displaying objects you shouldn’t slash – bombs and civilians – amidst things you should. And there's Survival, where you have only one life and an infinite number of enemies waiting to fight you.
Finger flicking fun.
