Earlier this month, we wrote about the announcement of a game coming to us from Sawfly Studios called Men’s Room Mayhem. Well, that game is almost upon us, coming to the world via the PlayStation Vita, iOS and of course, Android. Publisher Ripstone has announced that the game will be launching...

One of the most well-known electronics companies in the world has finally entered the smartphone market. Panasonic has this week launched its first smartphone offering called the Panasonic P51, a 5-inch, quad-core offering which comes with Android 4.2.2. Key features of the P51 are: 1.2GHz quad-core...

ParkMe was started as a startup to make real-time parking information available to us all, first on the Web, then on iOS, and now finally on Android. In concept at least, the ParkMe app appears to be incredibly handy; who knows how many times I’ve been stuck in a new neighbourhood not knowing where...

Made you look! Ok, so we’re not actually talking about the highly anticipated 5.0 build of Android. But we are talking about Google I/O. Rather than the fully fledged software build we’ve all be dying to get our sweaty hands on, throughout the event were easter eggs that served only to whet...

Fresh off of the purchase of Tumblr, Yahoo announced some changes to Flickr in a press event in New York today. Changes include a redesign, a free terabyte of storage and a new Android app. Starting with the redesign, Flickr’s white space is scrapped for a larger photo grid. The background and...

About a month ago, we covered a preview for the game Quadropus Rampage, a new game from Butterscotch Shenanigans. In the month since then, the game has entered the Beta stage and quite a few things have changed in the game, so we’ll go through a few of those things now. The menus have been completely...

Fighting games, or “button-bashers” as they are fondly known as, are far and few between on Android as the act of bashing buttons is significantly less satisfying on touchscreens (disclaimer: is probably not the actual reason for lack of fighting games). Also quite rare are games that fully...

If I said the words “random gun generation”, what game does that make you think of? For many of you gaming folk, it would probably remind you of the triple-A title Borderlands, but after this reading about this new Kickstarter project, you might start associating that phrase with a game called...

There is one game from my childhood that I got so frustrated with I almost threw away my GameBoy. That game was Karateka. Many of you will remember Karateka from even further back than that and will reminisce about it very fondly. Although there has been a remake released this year for consoles, the...

While watching the live feed of Google I/O 2013 (still bummed I couldn’t go) I saw them demo a game on Google Chrome. This game is called Racer. It is the same concept as the slot car racing games because it allows you to go as fast as you want by tapping and holding down on your screen. Now...

With Google I/O literally hours away, there has been news that Google will likely be announcing a music streaming service, which aims too compete with the likes of Spotify and other like services. This news isn’t so much a surprise as it is an inevitability with a Google music streaming service...

There have been rumours and stories of a white Nexus 4 ever since the phone was released to much fanfare last year, however many of those reports turn out to be very professional looking custom jobs. In fact just this week, there yet another spotting of a white Nexus 4, sadly relegated to the halls...

This probably won’t be the last rumour you hear before the start of Google I/O but it is definitely one of the more interesting ones so far and doesn’t involve the Moto X Phone. There is a rumour circulating that Samsung and Google have been knocking boots to create a Galaxy S4 with stock...

Battlefield and Frostbite engine fans, good news: there has been announcement on the Frostbite website that they will be developing a new engine they’ve dubbed Frostbite Go. Even more exciting is that this engine will used for development on “all major mobile platforms”. This is a...

Just in case you were camping out for Android news before Google I/O, which I know you all are, a new version of the Google Play Store has gone live, updating the 4.0.27 Store to 4.1.6. Apart from very minor cosmetic changes, like the different store buttons changing colour scheme and the assumed performance...
