Grand Theft Auto 5 may have released all the way back in September now, but following an extremely successful launch, the holiday gifts just keep on coming from Rockstar Games, publisher of the all-conquering series. Having just pushed a massive update to GTA Online for those on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Rockstar has come through with another treat for mobile gamers in the form of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for Android. The title, which is widely regarded as one of the best of the entire series, made its way to iOS just last week, and has finally landed at the Google Play Store. More details can be found after the break!
Last week, developer Zeptolab released a teaser trailer of its eagerly anticipated Cut the Rope 2 release, and now, for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users at least, it has finally made its way to the App Store. An Android version is somewhat uncertain, and the developers claim to be an iOS exclusive, but if history has taught us anything, then the Android version should bear fruit next year, in the meanwhile, if you've been waiting for your next fix of this candy-swinging adventure and just so happen to own an iOS device, early Christmas presents don't get much better than this!
If you're packing one of the most popular Android phones on the planet and want to at least try to keep it in top condition, whether that be for resale value or just because you like to keep your gadgets looking good, then the chances are you're on the lookout for a nice looking, sturdy and protective case. If you're the owner of an LG Nexus 5, then you might want to keep reading.
GTA Online, after the initial blip at launch, seems to have gone down well with purchasers of Grand Theft Auto 5 on both sides of the PlayStation 3 / Xbox 360 divide. Last week, we brought you the news that GTA 5 Online was going to be getting quite a significant update, and today, Rockstar Games has commenced the process of rolling it out. The highlight here is the new Capture mode, which, as Rockstar describes, is "a GTA twist on classic capture the flag style confrontations," and if you've been looking forward to playing some CTF on GTA, now you can!
The fact that webcams are installed into each and every MacBook (and indeed, most other notebooks nowadays), can be of great usefulness, and the fact that Apple's computers present a green light when the camera is activated means that users are under no illusions as to whether the FaceTime camera is running or not. However, a piece of software in circulation, which has already been utilized by one unscrupulous individual, allows anyone to activate the camera without throwing up that green light, which is more than just a tad alarming.
Google Glass is really starting to grow beyond the cool concept that it was when it first launched, and as more and more Google Explorers get their hands on the device the number of apps available will only continue to grow.

Pebble App Store Releasing In Coming Months; A One-Stop Hub For All Your Smartwatch Related Goodness
Pebble's smartwatch, which made a name for itself after becoming one of the most successful Kickstarter projects of all time, has certainly started something significant in the digital world. Its introduction and apparent popularity has since prompted other companies, like Samsung with the Galaxy Gear, to try their own hand at building and releasing a smartwatch, but like the very few owners of the Gear, Pebble users have found it rather difficult to keep their wrist-worn gizmo fresh with content. Sure, it's out there, but not in much of an organized manner, and as such, it looks like a proper, concise app store - or appstore as they’re calling it - will be hitting the scene for Pebble owners in the near future.
It's always nice, on special occasions, to send messages, photos, videos and greetings to those we care about, and although there are plenty of ways you can go about doing this - particularly in the Digital Age - a new iOS app by the name of TimeAppsule aims to put its own spin on proceedings. You sign up for your account, which takes a couple of seconds, and from there, you can plan your digital gifts to your friends and relatives up to a year in advance and keep them safely locked in the TimeAppsule (Geddit?) before sending.

Camera+ has been around for a number of years on iOS, and is seen by many as the de facto alternative to the standard Camera app. It's not as though there aren't hundreds of other such utilities throughout the App Store, but Camera+ has always kept its interface simple and to-the-point, but with more features than the stock offering. It's like the Camera app that Apple should have included natively, and in-keeping with this mindset, Camera+ has just been updated for iOS 7.
