Lazors, Yes, I Spelled It Correctly

It’s game time again. Just another quick one to get you through the dull moments of the day. Apparently, a lot of you have already found this one, as it has between 5 and 10 million downloads. It’s called Lazors, by the fine, hardworking folks over at Pyrosphere. The premise is simple: Move the blocks to re direct the path of the laser so it hits all the targets. That’s it. Simple right? Sometimes… Other times? Not so much. As with most games, the early levels are easy. Really easy… Don’t worry though,...

HTC: A State Of Disarray, Or A Manageable Mess?

“Oh Geez, another HTC article, what could this one possibly be about?” Lately it may seem like a lot of the articles coming from us deal with HTC. Being the phone that I currently own is an HTC One, I tend to put a little more interest in this area. I feel it incredibly important for HTC to be discussed, and talked about in order for the company to improve, and innovate. This week HTC has taken a significant hit with the loss of Chief Product Officer Kouji Kodera. With the One having just hit shelves, this is unfortunate timed...

Get This Genie On Your Phone And Let The Guessing Game Begin!

Are you looking for an app to go to when you just want to have a bit of fun? How about one where a genie guesses a character you are thinking of? When I first heard of the app, Akinator the Genie, I thought it sounded like something fun to try. The thought of an application on my phone “reading my mind” was intriguing, but I didn’t really believe that it could guess what I was thinking of. It turns out, I was very wrong. This app blew my mind and got me excited about finally using a fun app again!    When you first click “Play”...

You Think You Know, but YOU DON’T KNOW JACK!

There is a multitude of trivia games on the Play Store that can be had, played and enjoyed. There is one particular trivia game, however, that promises you a “twisted experience,” entitled YOU DON’T KNOW JACK! This amusing and fun app has finally made it over to Android, much to the delight of many fans. I can usually tell when non-Android apps have been ported over to Android. They tend to have a very well designed interface with exceptional graphics, and YDKJ is no exception. From the opening JellyVision logo, straight into the game,...

Not All Sounds Are Created Equal

Music is rooted deep within in us. We use it to escape when the world overwhelms us and to connect with others of like-minded taste (when we decide to). However, not all mobile platforms offer great sound quality. Nexus devices, for example, often fall short of what a handful of its’ competitors offer, such as some HTC’s platforms. With that in mind, two questions arise: (1) are individuals that purchase non-audiophile phones stuck with sub-par sound quality; and (2) are audiophiles limited to buying phones that are less customizable and...

Ok Google, Make Me A Clock Widget: A Review Of Clock Now

Last week we brought you a review of the wallpaper app GoogleNow Wallpapers. It’s an app that lets you get the look of the headers from Google Now as your wallpaper. I’m going to continue the trend this week with a feature on a great new widget app called Clock Now.

XDream X-Power All-In-One Charger And Speaker Review

As of late, I’ve been checking out all sorts of external speakers. Some Bluetooth, some that connect via NFC(upcoming review) and then this XDream X-Power speaker that plugs into the headphone port of your device. However, this isn’t just an external speaker. It’s also an accessory that will allow you to charge your device at the same time your jamming to your favorite tunes. My first initial thoughts of this device when I saw it were pretty good. I like that it’s shaped differently than most other speakers that you...

For Those About To Rock: An EyeLord Review

Leather, heavy metal, opera, chains, lightning that strikes thrice, eyeballs, skeletons, amps that go to 11, and Zuma? There’s all that and more in Secret Exit’s new wtf (eye)ball breaker EyeLord. In what might be the worst (best) combination of things in the history of gaming, EyeLord gives a whole new meaning to over the top. Now, it might be because I had a life size poster of Iron Maiden’s “Eddie” on my door growing up, but I feel like I’ve been unknowingly waiting for this game for a long time. There is something really...
