Here's a list of places that I visited or will be visiting before releasing my first Android game:

Learn how to actually put an app on the Android market:
Developer.android.com

Learn the basics of marketing and what to expect:
Androidappmarketingtips.com
Marketandroidapps.com
Articles that were particularly useful to me on the above sites:
Androidappmarketingtips.com
Marketandroidapps.com

Some review sites:
Androidappreviewsource.com
Pcworld.com
Bestandroidappsreview.com
Android.appstorm.net
Theandroidappreviewer.com
Dailyappshow.com
Androidappsreview.com
Pcmag.com

Really, anyone can find these in five minutes with Google...but this list might come in handy for a developer or two someday.

Once small piece of advice: If this is your first app, and you wrote it with very little or no help, then don't send your game to -every- reviewer on or before the first day. This way, if your release comes out of the gate with poor ratings and/or unforeseen bugs, then you can fix it before more people see it.
