The guys over at Rovio have been hard at work producing something that they feel is up to the same standard as their Angry Birds phenomenon, and although we have known for quite some time that the game would give the gorgeous green piggies a chance to take the limelight, we are now seeing the official screenshots of the Bad Piggies game as it starts to hit supporting mobile app stores. It must be extremely difficult to produce a game that follows on from the phenomenal worldwide successes of the Angry Bird series, but Rovio is hoping that mobile gamers are ready to see some pigs fly.
If you like your football (or soccer, for those residing in the U.S., New Zealand, Australia et al), then it’s likely that you’ve played Electronic Arts' FIFA titles on a number of occasions. Now favored by the majority as the simulator of choice on most platforms, EA has really upped the ante over the past five or so years, and although Pro Evolution Soccer (or PES) used to be a fierce competitor to FIFA, it has slipped off the radar thanks to the sheer brilliance of one of EA's flagship titles.
Those of you who have installed iOS 6 or purchased a device like the iPhone 5 will notice that it no longer has the YouTube application bundled as part of the OS. Google have released a fairly decent app onto the App Store, but at the moment it doesn't come with a native iPad version meaning that users needs to run it as an iPhone app on the iPad. It is also yet to be updated for the new iPhone 5.
The official Twitter app has, on both iOS and Android, been subject to much improvement just recently, and with the iPhone 5 quickly following iOS 6 in terms of general release, said Twitter app has just been updated, and is now fully compatible with new software and device alike.
Apple took the liberty of finally flicking the switch and made iOS 6 available to million of iOS device users out there. With the iPhone 5 all set to hit shelves within a day’s time, it makes sense to download apps which take full advantage of that gorgeous 4-inch Retina display and the prowess of iOS 6.
Aside from Facebook, which is fast-approaching the magical billion milestone of users, Twitter is the most popular way for people to express themselves, sharing their lives, images and whatever they please - provided words are kept to the strict <140 character limit.
The App Store is overflowing with so many apps that are split into so many different categories that it can sometimes be difficult for users to find what they are looking for. The search algorithms within the store is constantly being tweaked and amended to make things better, but unless you have the direct link to a specific app or know the actual name of it, it can be extremely hard to find good creations that manage to complete the desired task at hand.
No matter how advanced technology becomes in the future, it's unlikely they'll be able to change the weather, but with the right application on tow, one might be able to prepare themselves adequately for what might be ahead.
If you had mentioned the possibility of having standard access to the ability to print three-dimensional solid objects from a digital image a few years ago, then most people would have turned their noses up and say that it would never be possible unless the user had a shed load of cash to invest in the process. In some aspects, that has actually proven to be true, with 3D printing being available but not exactly the cheapest thing in the world. Fortunately, thanks to processes being introduced that remove much of the hassle behind designing prints, the whole process is becoming cheaper and more accessible.
If you happen to be a fan of the Marvel Comics range of characters, as well as throwing yourself into the rather impressive shoes of one of the world’s most legendary protectors, then assuming the role of a Norse god might just be right up your street. Even better, you can now become the mighty Thor free of charge if you happen to own an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, as Marvel Entertainment has made their fantastic and fast-paced Thor: Son of Asgard game free of charge on the App Store for a limited time.
