Recently, the BBC announced that it was putting it’s 3D project “on hold indefinitely”.

Over the past few years, the brain behind Breaking Bad has done a fantastic job of showing Walter White’s slow descent into hardened criminality, until he is unrecognizable…
The Last of Us is the brain-child of Naughty Dog studios. It’s hard to believe that this is the same company that began with the Crash Bandicoot franchise (a game I still love to play). Clearly they continue to thrive with their latest creation. The Last Of Us – Characterization In a post-viral-outbreak world, you are Joel;…

It’s been awhile since I reviewed any Android game, that’s probably because I didn’t find any game to be as interesting as worth a full review. However, the New Tiny Thief game by Rovio is definitely worth it. Tiny Thief offers a cute storyline along with its well balanced strategy based puzzles. This isn’t…
