HyperDevBox Studio's New Massive Strategy RPG "Generation Of Chaos" Beats Previous Record, Requires 1.8GB Of Space

Posted by in Games, News, Videos
Last Updated: December 6th, 2011

HyperDevBox, the publisher of Spectral Souls, which previously wowed us with both the price sticker ($15) and the size of its creation (1GB) topped its own record today with the release of a new game. Generation Of Chaos, which the company dubbed the first massive strategy RPG for Android, nearly doubles the space requirements - you will need over 1.8GB to complete the installation process. That "massive" part gained a whole second meaning there, didn't it?

Promising 100 hours of gameplay, the game invites you to build out and rule your own kingdom, fighting 30v30 real-time battles using over 150 characters in 10 different campaigns.

BF Deal Alert: Get A $50 Verizon Wireless Coupon For $25 From Living Social - Good For Any VZW Device Or Accessory

Posted by in Deals, News

Whether you're looking for a new Verizon Wireless device or some accessories, you may find that this Black Friday deal from LivingSocial is just what the doctor ordered. For 25 bucks, you get a $50 voucher to spend on said items, valid November 29th through December 31st of 2011.

A word of warning - you can only use it in VZW retail stores or through telesales, but not online or at authorized dealers. The coupons cannot be used for business accounts and are likely not stackable, meaning you can only redeem one per purchase (the exact language in the terms doesn't specifically state so, but don't count on it).

Mysterious Verizon Holiday Ad Appears Across The Web, Shows Galaxy Nexus For $199.99

Posted by in Galaxy Nexus, News, Rumors, Samsung, Verizon Wireless

Nobody is really sure what it means at the moment, but we definitely know the ad showing the Verizon Galaxy Nexus for $199.99 is real. As in, It's not fake since it's showing up on Android sites across the web (we've spotted it here at AP, at Phandroid, and DroidForums to name a few). These ads are run by NetShelter, which is a premium advertising network that deals directly with carriers and manufacturers and does not mess around - we know them all too well.

Clicking Learn More goes to this page that doesn't list the Galaxy Nexus, so either someone pressed the Launch button a bit too early or the ad was scheduled ahead of time and someone forgot to postpone it due to all the recent delays.

[Download] Latest Android Wi-Fi Tether 3.1 Update Finally Brings Inactivity Shutdown, Stops Turning Off Bluetooth On Start

Posted by in Applications, News

In the last couple of days, I've been closely interacting with Harald Mueller, the developer behind Android Wi-Fi Tether for root users, a free and open source tethering app for Android. Android Wi-Fi Tether is pretty much a de-facto app when when it comes to tethering on Android devices that have native Wi-Fi tethering disabled (thanks, carriers), and is what I consider one of the most important apps in our supposedly open ecosystem.

In my correspondence with Harald, I have brought up 2 specific issues that have been on my mind for a while now, and to my surprise, Harald solved them both in a matter of days.

Meltdown On Mars THD Coming In December 2011 - Tower Defense Meets Gun Bros [Video]

Posted by in Games, News, Videos

Any time a new game shows up in NVIDIA's TegraZone, we immediately hop on to take a look - after all, only the best of the best games with gorgeous graphics make it that far.

The newest addition to TegraZone this time around is Meltdown On Mars THD - it's what I would call a mix of tower defense and Gun Bros, executed in a way kind of similar to Dungeon Defenders. You can move your main character around freely like in an RPG/action game, all while planting defensive turrets, barricades, and mines in an effort to survive waves of alien attacks.
