Fantastic artistic styling and simple gameplay are hard to turn down — and it’s free to play as well
I have to say that I’m not the biggest mobile gamer out there, but when I find a title that I like I tend to sit down and sink a few hours into it. This week that game is BADLAND, and its simplistic gameplay and great design have me hooked. BADLAND reminds me a lot of the [Read More...]
It could be a Lite-Brite. Or it could be one of those magic-erase drawing things you buy for the kids. Or it could be a case that shows relevant data. It might even be bullshit. All we know is:
Holes. Time. Colors.
And we only know that because evleaks told it to us. The suggestion of the Internet at large is that it’s some sort of magic flip case that will display the time and weather [Read More...]

We’re huge fans of changing the home screen around a bit and creating a new user experience for our Android. So much so that we present our ongoing series of Get This Look posts. In a nutshell we show you a new layout, app, widget, or icon set for your Android handset and tell youwhich apps you’ll need to mimic the feel.
Some of these are a little easier to create than others and many of them can be tweaked to no end. The [Read More...]
If you’re a fan of awesome graphics, easy but challenging gameplay — and most of all just a good fun app — you’ve got to try Smash Hit. The idea is that you have a number of balls with which you’ll hit objects in a sort of first-person shooter style. Physics are very much in effect here, and keep in mind that you’ve got a limited amount of ammo.

Just how likely is the rumored 5.25-inch, 1440p ‘super-flagship?’
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is a solid high-end Android smartphone. We said as much in our hands-on preview of the device early last week. But among some sections of the tech community there’s been a whiff of perplexion — and maybe even disappointment — that certain hardware milestones weren’t reached this time around.

Welcome back to our weekly Top 10 Android App Updates column, where we take a look at the most frequently-upgraded apps for the week. I’ve found that one of the best ways to discover useful apps is to find the ones that are actually being updated by the developers rather than going after the apps with the most installs. As in the past, we’re going to filter out minor updates for the super-popular apps that have over 10 million installs, but I’ll going [Read More...]
Simple, relaxing and endlessly expandable, Lyne is one of the best Android puzzlers around
After a long week at Mobile World Congress, here’s a relaxing, atmospheric puzzler for the weekend. Lyne by Thomas Bowker is a simple yet addictive dot-connecting puzzle title that comes with a soothing ambient soundtrack. Like all the best puzzle titles, Lyne is simple to grasp, but challenging to master. The basic premise involves drawing a line between start [Read More...]
There are two things I’ve learned about Android users in my three years covering the platform: they love to customize, and they often like to show-off their affinity for the little green [Read More...]
