A short while ago, EA announced a deal with Microsoft that would allow gamers to play a number of titles from its catalog for a subscription fee. At $4.99 for the month or $29.99 for a whole year, it seemed to good to be true, but in actual fact, it just got even better.
Not so long ago, it became apparent that Apple would be rolling out a Family Sharing feature for its customers, allowing families and groups of people to share certain apps even if they're operating under different Apple IDs. It makes a great deal of practical sense, as well as saving money on the part of the consumer, and although it won't apply to every single app residing over at the Cupertino's Store, Apple has divulged a few more details on the subject.
The Battlefield series is among the foremost in the modern gaming industry, and if you've been tempted to try out Battlefield 4, now's your best opportunity in which to do so.

Forrest Gump, which stars Hollywood legend Tom Hanks, is one of those movies that almost everybody has seen. But while we collectively appreciate the heart-warming storyline, it doesn't strike us as the kind of flick that should be turned into a mobile game. Sure, most new movies are now arriving with a supplementary title - usually by Gameloft - to enhance the overall experience and sense of excitement, but Forrest Gump? Really?
Like most popular smartphones, the Apple iPhone is a continual target for clone-makers, with many different companies looking to offer an iPhone-esque experience at a discounted rate. Although the iPhone 6 has yet to be announced, we've already seen a bunch of knockoffs - some more plausible than others - and the Goophone i6, which was one of the first iPhone 6 fakes to launch this year, certainly bears a striking resemblance to the leaks and info we currently have on the Cupertino's next smartphone. One YouTuber decided to test the public in order to establish whether they could spot an underpowered Android running an iOS-like theme, and as ever, many took the bait and thought it was the real deal.
Microsoft has added a Digital TV Tuner to the Xbox One's repertoire of accessories, with the add-on set to launch in October.

The deal that saw Apple acquire Beats Electronics was one of the biggest stories so far this year.

Apple has consistently stayed away from big-money buyouts, and the decision to snap up the Dr. Dre-founded company also signaled the first time that the Mac maker opened its wallet for a well-known company. Now, with the $3 billion agreement having been given the rubber stamp of approval, Beats has been given its own special space on the Apple retail site, where you might find headphones, speakers, and… oh - more headphones.
