Dead Trigger 1.1.1 Review

With great graphics and exciting gameplay, this game seems to be one of the most popular action games on the Google Play store. Dead Trigger combines a first-person shooter with social media and strategy gaming. It offers a fully immersive environment with high levels of action.

The size will vary depending on the device, but since we tested it on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus our file was over 120MB. With a file of that magnitude the device should be plugged into the wall and connected … Read more

The Walking Dead-Dead Yourself takes a little while to download. The app is pretty big because of the many different image files and image editing aspects of the program. Once the program opens, however, the fun begins immediately. The app … Read more

Deathly din: How Dead Space 3 sounds are made

If you want the best Dead Space 3 experience, it's nearly necessary to turn off the lights and crank up the sound. Do you ever think about where those bloodcurdling noises originate, though?

7 features Apple killed off in iTunes 11

Apple's latest iTunes brings plenty of new features, but also puts some golden oldies out to pasture.

The software, which went out yesterday as a free update, comes with a redesigned player and a more extensive album view for browsing music. Apple's also more deeply integrated iCloud and its stores within the software.

But some of that march towards simplicity has come at the expense of some old features. Few of the deep-sixed features seem like logical deletions, and others are already bringing ire from longtime users who expected to see them on the other side of the … Read more
