Top 5 running games for your smart devices

The latest craze in the mobile gaming arena is the ‘runner’ style of swipe/gyro action packed games. These games require quick reflexes and even

The latest craze in the mobile gaming arena is the "runner" style of action-packed games with swipe/gyro enabled controls. These games require quick reflexes and even a certain amount of finger dexterity and control, especially if you’re playing them on a tablet. The runner style is also quite addictive because of its simplicity in gameplay and intense level upgrades the further you get into the game. It can get quite vigorous when it gets into high gear and that’s what makes them even more entertaining.  Here’s our list of five of the best runners available for your smart device: Temple Run Series Temple Run 1 - Free - for Android and for iOS Temple Run 2 - Free - For Android and for iOS Temple Run Brave – Rs 53.44 for Android and for iOS ($0.99) Temple Run OZ – Rs 53.18 Android and for iOS ($0.99) The legacy of Temple Run Temple Run has been a phenomenon for a long time and one could even say that this was the game that got things off to a "running" start for the genre. Following intrepid explorers and Disney characters, the idea of the game is simply to run, collect coins and power-ups and get as far as you can without nasty beasties catching up with you or you falling off a cliff, getting drowned in the swamp or running into trees and such. Each game brings a little more colour and excitement into the mix and there are always a few extra tasks to perform while running. With each new iteration, the layout gets more visually appealing and gameplay gets more challenging.  Agent Dash – Free - for Android and for iOS Dash to your next assignment Play the rather large spy whose mission is to save the Queen and the country. Run through the treacherous jungle collecting gems as you make the twists and turns and dodge obstacles in your path to reach the lair of the evil doers. Destroy each base and move on to the next objective. The gameplay is pretty much the same as Temple run but the animation is far less sophisticated, and that’s not a bad thing. For those cartoon lovers out there, Agent Dash and his crew along with the various environments will be sure to have you quite entertained for many hours – jumping, sliding and dodging through some treacherous landscapes to complete your capers.  Streaker Run – Free - for Android In the buff and off the cuff To satisfy your slightly perverted side, perhaps running around in your birthday suit away from your angry neighbour is just what you need. After doing the nasty with his wife, you’ve got to get away from her obviously furious husband by traipsing through the neighbourhood dodging deliver trucks, jumping fences and kids' toys in the way, and even slipping and sliding along roof tops all in the buff. It’s not easy, but that’s the price you pay for indiscretions. The layout and environment settings are colourful and again, very cartoon like; giving you the impression you’re participating in a live action cartoon strip. It’s quite a bit of fun, but let’s just say you ought to be over 21 to play this game. Vector – Free - for Android and for iOS Oppa Parkour style A truly inspired game set in the future with a very George Orwell 1984 style combined with a Mirrors Edge sort of feel. With Parkour-styled running, this side scroller running game is quite addictive. You are an escapee form a mind-controlled game where you’ve decided that being a drone is not for you. Hot on your tail are armed guards chasing across city skylines with some sort of stun guns. Depending on the processing power (and you won’t need much) of your devices, the motions can be extremely fluid and although just silhouetted in nature, the animation is quite superb. It’s fast-paced and easy to play.   Team Awesome – Free - for Android and for iOS Android Paid – Rs 56.66 Just be awesome! Team Awesome is an "awesome" 3D game for hand-held devices. It incorporates both sides scrolling action with 3D graphics to give you a well laid out environment and exciting gameplay. With jet pack propulsion, you can collect floating coins, power-ups and crystals while stopping bank robbers, putting out fires and engaging in hardcore boss fights. You can even help commuters catch buses or help little old ladies get back home. It’s all in a day's work if you are that awesome! Gameplay is quite simple and easy to manage. The cartoon style animations also make the game that much more interesting to play.  All of these games are easily accessible from the Google Play store app on your Android device or the Apple App Store option from your Apple device. Most of these games are available for both smartphone and tablet devices. If you have more options that you think are worth noting, please feel free to list them via comments.

Snap Camera v2.0.8 Apk | 5 MB | Mediafire
Requires Android:2.3.3 and Up

A Whole New Camera Experience

App Review:

Snap is a camera and gallery application based on the camera included in Android 4.2 on the Nexus 4.

Take pictures and record video with a single click, no cluttered preview screen, just the two buttons you really need.

It has a simple, powerful user interface. Touch to focus, pinch to zoom, swipe to review and long press for photo settings. The photo controller includes settings for colour, contrast and sharpness (if supported by the hardware). The additional settings menu gives you access to: Picture and Video Size, Scene mode, Self Timer, Burst Mode, Time Lapse, Still and Video Focus Modes, JPEG Quality, Effects, ISO and Anti-banding.

The powerful photo editor lets you add colour effects, borders, crop, rotate, mirror and straighten. You can also choose image effects, histogram modification and vignette. Undo an effect at any time from the history menu.

Share an image with any other app such as Facebook or Google+ by clicking on the share icon.

Snap works best on newer phones but will still run on older models.

The extra settings on the controller menu are only available on phones that support them. Most phones based on Qualcomm hardware do support these options but most others do not.

Camera apps are notoriously difficult to make compatible with all hardware. If it doesn’t work, please don’t rate the app badly, let us know and we will try to fix it.

Game review:

In World Conqueror II you will be a general to accomplish a lot of important campaigns during World War II and Cold War. You can fight with or against those famous generals including Guderian, Rommel, Patton, Zhukov, Nimitz, MacArthur, Yamamoto, Montgomery and de Gaulle. It’s so impressive to see their unique tactics and ace forces. Patton and Rommel are well-known for their panzer corps, Nimitz and Yamamoto for their aircraft carrier fleets while Goering and MacArthur for their air forces – all of them are one and only. It’s your choice to be a part of the Axis or Allies in WWII, but only after that can Cold War scenarios be unlocked. As campaigns go on, different equipments of each nation would come on the stage. Germany’s Tiger Tank and the Soviets’ Katyusha Rocket are two of the most powerful weapons, to name but a few.

The army can use various supporting tactics including entrenchments, radars, land forts and anti-aircraft guns for more defenses. The navy may get effective marine strength through combination of destroyers, cruisers, battleships and aircraft carriers. Air strikes, strategic bombing, airborne forces or devastating nuclear bombs help the air force to destroy hostile defense lines.

With more and more achievements during the war, your commander will grow from a soldier to a marshal and acquire kinds of special medals which help boost the effectiveness of your troops in turn. In addition to single player mode, we also provide online PvP mode so you can cooperate with or fight against other players from all over the world in campaigns.

 Grand Theft Auto V delayed until September

Rockstar Games pushes back the release of Grand Theft Auto V by four months, getting an earful from some fans of the franchise.

In other news, Rockstar Games ensured that gamers will actually get out of the house this summer.

(Credit: Rockstar Games) 

 

Say sayonara to a spring release date: Developer Rockstar Games has announced it pushed back the release date of the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto V to September 17 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
A Rockstar blog post noted the violent open-world adventure game "needs a little more polish to be of the standard we, and more importantly, you require."

It only took several hours for the blog post to receive 2,500 comments from passionate fans of the series, and as expected, many of those comments contained colorful words that heavily criticized the delay of GTA V. The negative response got so heated that a Rockstar representative amended the blog post asking the community to calm their "abusive" comments. Several hours later, Rockstar added a second comment in response to apparent "conspiracy theories," once again affirming it delayed the game only because "we want the game to be as good as it needs to be" and there wasn't an "ulterior motive for this delay."
Following today's announcement, parent company Take-Two Interactive saw its shares slide nearly 7 percent to close at $12.17.

GTA V will be five times the size of Red Dead Redemption and take place in the fictional city of Los Santos, which is loosely based on Los Angeles. Players will take on the role of three separate characters -- a first for the franchise -- and alternate among each. Michael, Trevor, and Franklin each possess a different skill set and will need to work together to pull off what Rockstar is calling "a series of heists." When not involved in a specific mission, players will have the option to assume each of their identities at will.

Temple Run 2 scores record as fastest-growing mobile game

The popular game has grabbed the greatest number of downloads in the shortest amount of time, according to its developer.

Temple Run 2 for Android

 

Temple Run addicts have propelled its sequel into new territory.
In 13 days, Temple Run 2 has been downloaded more than 50 million times by iOS, Android, and Kindle users, developer Imangi Studios said yesterday, making it the fastest-growing mobile game ever.
In reaching this milestone, the action game topped the previous record holder, Angry Birds Space, which rocketed to 50 million downloads in 35 days.
Temple Run 2 places you in a jungle where you have to outrun a giant ape, leap over chasms, and swing on ropes to get past hazards. Along the way, you pick up gold coins to score points. But one wrong step, and your character meets an untimely demise.
Temple Run 2 debuted in Apple's App store on January 17 and quickly became the top free app with more than 6 million downloads in less than 24 hours. The game then swung into Google Play and Amazon Marketplace, picking up even more adventurers.
"Temple Run has evolved into something so much bigger than us," Imangi co-founder Keith Shepherd said in a statement. "The game has performed beyond our wildest dreams, and we are thrilled that gamers and fans have embraced Temple Run 2 in such a short period of time."

Following in the footsteps of Angry Birds maker Rovio, Imangi has also parlayed the success of Temple Run into something more lucrative.
The game studio has cut deals for Temple Run clothes, digital comics, and card and board games. Last June, Imangi teamped up with Pixar to create Temple Run: Brave, which combines the action in Temple Run with characters from the Pixar film "Brave."

Diablo III game director steps down

Longtime developer Jay Wilson leaving game after seven years; will transition into new role at Blizzard in the next few weeks.

After seven years working on Diablo III, Jay Wilson is leaving his post as game director for the dungeon-crawler. Wilson announced the news today in a blog post, noting the time is right to move on to a new project within Blizzard Entertainment.

"I recently celebrated my seven-year anniversary working on Diablo III, and while it's been one of the most challenging and rewarding periods of my life, I've reached a point creatively where I'm looking forward to working on something new," Wilson said. "The powers that be at Blizzard have been gracious enough to give me that opportunity. Over the course of the next several weeks, I will be moving off of the Diablo III project and transitioning elsewhere within Blizzard. This decision was not an easy one for me, and not one I made quickly, but ultimately it's what I feel is right."
Wilson made clear that his departure from the Diablo III development team "will not negatively impact our ongoing support of Diablo III." He said there is "lots" planned for the future of the game and that he will make himself available to the development team during the transition period. A new game director for Diablo III has not been announced, though Wilson said Blizzard is eager to find a replacement and learn what "fresh ideas they can bring to the table."
Wilson said he is proud of Diablo III and will miss the community that has formed around it, though he did admit his relationship with fans was not without its faults.
"I feel I have made many mistakes in managing that relationship, but my intent was always to provide a great gaming experience and be as open and receptive as possible, while still sticking true to the vision the Diablo team has for the game," he said.
Wilson also acknowledged that many may believe Blizzard fell short of its promise to release Diablo III "when it's ready." He said Blizzard always tries to make decisions based on information and knowledge present at the given time, though this is not an ideal situation.
"That doesn't mean we always make the right decisions, but if we made a mistake then I feel we've made an exceptional effort to correct it," he said.
Wilson ended his farewell note saying there are "great things" in the pipeline for Diablo III in 2013, though he did not specify what these might be.
"I'm leaving Diablo III in good hands, and my departure will not jeopardize the progress of the game as we continue to do what we do: listen, play, and improve," he said.
Diablo III launched in May 2012, was a top Google search for the year, and has sold over 10 million copies to date. The game shipped without its player-versus-player mode, and it does not appear this feature will be added anytime soon. Wilson said in late December that Diablo III PVP is stalled, noting Blizzard is going back to the drawing board to conceive something better.

Star Wars: 1313 launching this year?

[UPDATE] Sony Facebook page reveals possible launch window for LucasArts' upcoming third-person action game; page removed, company responds.

[UPDATE] Following the publication of this story, the post on the Sony German PlayStation Facebook account was removed. In addition, LucasArts provided a statement to Kotaku saying, "No, that was an inaccurate post. We have not confirmed any platforms yet for 1313 and do not have any announcements to make at this time."

The original story follows below
 
Star Wars: 1313 could be on store shelves as early as this year. A Facebook post from Sony's German PlayStation account states LucasArts' new action game is slated for release in 2013.

LucasArts has made no mention of a release date or platform availability for Star Wars: 1313 since it announced the game in May 2012.
Star Wars: 1313 was first announced in May 2012. The internally developed third-person action adventure game will see players take on the role of a bounty hunter navigating a subterranean metropolis, Level 1313, beneath the surface of the planet Coruscant.
The game is being developed with the help of artists across the Lucasfilm organization, including LucasArts, Industrial Light & Magic, Lucasfilm Animation Ltd, and Skywalker Sound. The game will be based on the Unreal engine and feature full-body performance capture.
Star Wars: 1313 may not be the only new Star Wars game on the horizon. A listing for an Xbox Live Arcade game Star Wars: First Assault appeared last year. This project has not been formally announced.

Temple Run 2 brings with it a bunch of new features such as navigating perilous cliffs, zip lines, mines and forests as you try to escape with the cursed idol. The question remains, how far can you run?

This time around, not much has changed, and the gameplay of Temple Run 2 is essentially the same as its predecessor. You have stolen the golden idol and must run as far away from the monkey as possible. There are many obstacles that will plague your path and you must swipe and tilt your device to avoid them. The addition of a zip line, twisting paths and a cart are definite improvements. Veteran fans of the franchise will feel right at home and the game is easy to pick up and play for new comers as well.

In under one week, Temple Run 2 has accumulated over 210 million sessions, which garners a combined time of over 1,775 years of gameplay.” This is before the game was launched for Android.

Pakistani retailers boycott new Call of Duty and Medal of Honor games

Retailers' association claims that both games show the country in poor light.

Video game retailers in Pakistan have stopped selling the newest instalments of the popular Call of Duty and Medal of Honour in the country. The move came after the All Pakistan CD, DVD, Audio Cassette Traders and Manufacturers Association issued a notice to all its members to boycott the two games. The notice almost reads like a threat with the association claiming that the games are “against the country’s national unity and sanctity” and warning shopkeepers that they “will be (held) responsible for the consequences if found purchasing or selling these games.”

The “offensive” element in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 includes a mission where a team of American intelligence officers conduct a clandestine operation in Pakistan to uncover information on the game's South American antagonist. Medal of Honor: Warfighter begins with American Navy SEALs infiltrating Karachi to search for black market weapons and includes a car-chase through the city with the Pakistani Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) agency on the player's trail.

It's worth pointing out here that in spite of their relative popularity in Pakistan, majority of the copies of the aforementioned games sold in the country were most likely pirated. Almost 85% of all software installed on computers in Pakistani are pirated, a statistic that puts the country at the 12th spot when it comes to global software piracy numbers.

This news just comes as the latest in a series of bad news for the Medal of Honor game. The game has been critically reviled and is saddled with a low Metacritic score of 55 (on the PC and Playstation 3) and has also sold poorly. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, on the other hand, broke all sales records on launch and racked up nearly $500 million within the first 24 hours of launch, while also receiving generally positive reviews.
