Neat little (free) game I just noticed pop up in the Marketplace called Colorblast. It’s a real time 2 minute round where you try to clear as many blocks as you can while competing against the world. It reminds me of Wordament which is addictive because of the real time features. Anyway, here’s their description: … Read more
This really shows you how one rumor spawns new rumors until it tries to create reality. As you all know, there were plenty of iPhone 5 cases that were ‘leaked’ prior to today and that of course gave credence to the iPhone 5 rumors. There is no iPhone 5 (yet) so what’s the story with … Read more
I don’t usually spend time about upcoming announcements but I’m looking forward to what Microsoft has in line for Xbox TV. It’s actually not huge on its face – you can ditch your cable box and instead use your Xbox for all of your media needs. So you can game, Netflix, do all your videos … Read more
Well played Microsoft. Not just getting out the update, but have it go so smoothly that you accelerate it. Microsoft has a short blog post as follows: Hello everyone. Six days ago we started rolling out the Windows Phone 7.5 “Mango” update around the globe. Here’s how it’s going. Within the first hours of making … Read more
Pictures Lab is one of the first apps I bought for my Windows Phone and it’s still my go-to app when I need to do some fast picture editing and apply effects on my phone which it aces with over 300 modifications available from cropping, to framing to applying effects. You probably know it (as … Read more
Gotta love when Indie devs are porting their titles to Windows Phones. Alawishus Pixel is a platform/puzzler where you need to push a block to open the door. Of course, the levels have challenges from bats, ogres, moving platforms, etc that challenge your dexterity. It’s a retro style game and the classics are often the … Read more
I buy more than my fair share of crap from Amazon but I’ve never returned a product. The Nyko Zoom Kinect accessory may be the first. If you don’t know what it is, it’s like a pair of glasses for the Kinect which lets you play in a smaller area than the Kinect was designed … Read more
Woolensheep has hit the Windows Phone Marketplace and it’s another Ximad title so you can expect slick graphics and polished game play. This game is a take on the usual mouse game, where you move once and they move once trying to escape/trap. This version is of course sheep and also has some fancy features, … Read more
So you’ve got your fancy Mango update and you want to give it a go on something neat? How about an app that lets you discretely take pics? So you look at a ‘how to’ screen and you can then tap a button to snap a picture but the viewfinder is either in mini in … Read more
iFishing is a fishing simulation game with almost 11m downloads to date so having it in the Windows phone Marketplace is welcomed. Here’s how they describe it: Welcome to iFishing, the mobile fishing simulator by Rocking Pocket Games. This is THE MOST REALISTIC AND IN-DEPTH fishing game. This is not an arcade game like the … Read more
Not only did they unleash this massive worldwide, cross device, cross carrier update but there’s been a known method to force your phone to trigger the update early. Since Microsoft set out this intentional slow rollout to give them time to test you’d presume they would not want line cutters. But you’d be wrong: Whoah … Read more
Let the haters hate. What Microsoft unveiled today was something no one else has done. On on worldwide basis they released a simultaneous update across carriers and devices. The iPhone has avoided this by having a single device for all. Android has ignored this entirely and updates only occur if you’re lucky. As Microsoft notes: … Read more
