[App Roundup] Our Seven Favorite New Apps To Check Out From October 2012

Posted by in Applications

Just in case you've missed all the apps we've rounded up over the last month, or don't have time to sift through all the worthy entries for the new apps that best suit you, we're back with another shortlist of the apps you absolutely need to try out, this time from October 2012.

As always, this short roundup is a hand-picked list of what we consider to be the very best apps from the previous month – apps that anyone looking for new, useful, well-made apps should keep on their radars. Typically, we try to keep these roundups to around five or six apps, but this month we just had to tack on a few extras.

[Game Roundup] Here Are Our Six Picks For Best New Game From September 2012

Posted by in Games

It's that time again – the time of the month when we give you our short list of the best new games from the previous month. This time, we've sifted through all the great Play Store entries from September to give you our top six favorite new games, all of which are worth at least checking out, at most becoming completely addicted to.

Bad Piggies

We couldn't pass up Bad Piggies. Rovio's latest entry into the Play Store, which builds on the wild success of Angry Birds, puts the pigs everyone loves to hate in the spotlight with the "Piggest Game Ever."

In Bad Piggies, players will build flying, rolling, or floating contraptions to safely transport pigs through environments that are fiendishly hard to master, aiming to collect three stars per level like always, but through increasingly unique and customizable means.

[Game Roundup] Here Are Our Five Picks For Best New Game From August 2012

Posted by in Games

Of course, with a new "top app" monthly roundup comes a rundown of our top games from the previous month. August saw a lot of entries into the Game section of Google's Play Store, but we've sorted through them all to bring you the six absolute best entries from last month.

Our selection covers a broad range of genres, and users looking to entertain themselves with their mobile devices can't go wrong with any of the choices. Without further ado, let's dive in to the six best games from August 2012.

Jetpack Joyride

Jetpack Joyride, another one of Halfbrick Studios' smash hit games, finally found its way to Android last month, satisfying the intense anticipation of fans and delivering what Jeremiah calls "everything a mobile game should be, plus robot dragons."

The game, which follows the jetpack-stealing, coin-grabbing exploits of the square-jawed Barry Steakfries, has a simple underlying dynamic: stay alive as long as you can, and get as many coins as possible along the way.

[Game Roundup] Here Are Our Eight Picks For Best Game From July 2012

Posted by in Games

Like clockwork, with the beginning of another month comes a roundup of the top new games from the previous month. July saw the introduction of a ton of new games to the Play Store, many worth coverage, and just a slightly lower number worthy of a spot in the top games of the month. It's not unusual for us to have trouble picking a "top five," but this month the choice was especially tough, so we've put together the top eight games from July 2012 for your gaming pleasure.

Dead Trigger

Dead Trigger, which made a huge splash in the Play Store last month, is – hands down – one of the best games to have come out in a while.

[Deal Alert Roundup] Kindle Fires For $140, Unlocked LTE Skyrocket For $385 And More eBay Daily Deals

Posted by in Deals, News

We've got a bunch of deals for you folks today! To start things off right, refurbished Kindle Fires are currently available from eBay Daily Deals for a mere $140. The Amazon-branded slate, as you will no doubt recall, was one of the hottest selling Android-branded tablets prior to the advent of the Nexus 7. While both tablets are priced to ship, the Kindle Fire is the closest to impulse-buy we've ever seen it. While the Nexus 7 absolutely blows the Kindle Fire out of the water in terms of raw functionality, if you're looking for an Amazon-centric device for a steal, it's hard to beat this one.
