After Several Delays, Max Payne Mobile Is Finally Coming To Android On June 14th

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Games, News

Let's travel back in time together. Free your mind, and journey back with me, if you will. It's the sixth of April, two-thousand and twelve. One of the most anticipated games in recent months has just been announced: Max Payne Mobile. The crowd roars.

The game was expected to hit the Play Store on April 26th. We all waited with baited breath, but it never happened. So far as Android is concerned, everything goes dark.

Fast-forward to the present day - new information is now available regarding this illusive throwback. Rockstar posted on its blog that we should expect to see this title hit the Play Store in three days' time, on June 14th.

ESPNsoccernet Hits The Play Store, Feeds Your Football Addiction

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Applications, News

Here in the States, we call it soccer. Everywhere else, it's called football (which makes far more sense to me). Regardless of what you call it, though, there's one universal truth: like many other sports fans, soccer/football fans want to stay as up-to-date as possible about what's happening with their sport.

Enter a new app from ESPN called ESPNsoccernet that helps you do just that. It offers a pretty extensive set of features for the football/soccer-lover:

Comprehensive football coverage. The latest football news and features, as well as live scores, commentary, Gamecast, match stats, fixtures and results, league tables, player and club profiles.

Holy crap the Huawei Ascend P1 is boring.
Cameron reviews a stylus. Get to the point, already.
