I remember watching a Liam Neeson movie about a bunch of oil-men stranded in Alaska after their plane crashed. Now the Alaskan wilds are a nasty to place to be for the unprepared, and in that movie, titled The Grey, they were up against a pack of grey wolves and get picked off one by []

I think no one can ask for a better video games debut for Guardians of the Galaxy with Marvels release of Guardians of the Galaxy: The Universal Weapon. Now, Marvel could have come up with a bog standard 2D platformer kind of thing, but what they did was to utilise characters from the comic book...

Work got in the way of updates for the past two weeks but while I was busy fronting an exciting new project, I had some time to shop about (online), play some games (casual) and run.

While common for PC-based games, its a little strange to see mobile game developers turning players into their beta-testing team by releasing a game that is currently in BETA onto the App Store. I certainly hope they dont start charging players for their trouble but indie developers Extend...
When Apple announced the M7 processor on the iPhone 5S, I thought it to be a masterstroke in terms of leveraging on sensor data while lowering power requirements doing so at the same time. Not only can apps utilise data garnered from the M7 processor to come up track stuff (such as number of footsteps,...
