Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 17, 2018

After keeping mum on the title for nearly a year, Gameloft has finally started talking about Modern Combat 5 this month. We now know that it's called 'Blackout,' we know about the storyline, and we know about some of its features, like unified progression system.

Today, the studio posted more details regarding the game, saying that it will offer a new 'Squad vs. Squad' multiplayer mode, limited-time gaming events, and more. It also shared a couple new high resolution in-game screenshots, which we've posted for you below...

New report explains how Apple smart home program might work

Joe Rossignol ∙ Updated April 17, 2018

While the Financial Times previously reported that Apple is working on a full-featured home automation software platform, a new report claims that the company actually has much smaller plans for the home. According to sources for Gigaom, Apple is hoping to lessen fragmentation in the home by certifying more connected devices through the official Made for iPhone program.

The company is reportedly not working on software-based automation, however, and instead is focusing its smart home efforts on connecting devices over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for voice control. It might not be the full-out attempt at perfecting the smart home as was anticipated, but this is a good first step for Apple to be taking. Gigaom reporter Stacy Higginbotham elaborates…

TwoDots hits the App Store: there goes your productivity again!

Christian Zibreg ∙ May 29, 2014

So you've burned lots of midnight oil playing Dots, an insanely addictive game about connecting that the fine folks at Betaworks put out a year ago?

Fans who used to call in sick due to migraine headaches (caused by prolonged starring at a small iPhone screen) should get themselves ready to be creative again with a new round of excuses, evasions and lies for their bosses because the official Dots sequel has arrived.

It's called TwoDots, but don't let the unimaginatively titled game fool you - the Dots follow-up is bound to ruin your productivity, all over again. Free for the iPhone and iPad with (optional) In-App Purchases that you can do without, TwoDots brings an interesting twist to the already proven and wildly popular Dots formula...

Popular PlayStation RPG Dragon Quest VIII now available for iPhone and iPad

Christian Zibreg ∙ May 29, 2014

Another day, another role-playing game (RPG) makes its way into Apple's App Store. If Mika Mobile's action-based RPG Battleheart Legacy did not impress you and you've been craving for a Japanese-styled RPG game, consider giving the eighth installment in the legendary Dragon Quest series a shot. Originally released for the PlayStation 2 in 2004, Dragon Quest VIII has since sold an astounding 4.9 million units worldwide.

And now, for the first time ever it's available on the iOS platform. The first title in the series to offer full 3D graphics, the iOS port of Dragon Quest VIII sports vast landscape filled with non-playable characters who wonder around big cities.

There are dungeons with hidden treasure, typical turn-based 3D battles, unique monsters, wizards, dragons, epic boss fights and more - in all, everything you'd expect from an RPG made in Japan.

Note that Dragon Quest VIII comes at a rather steep price of $19.99 for the universal iPhone and iPad app, but at least it won't ask for cash - there are no In-App Purchases whatsoever...

Sunrise Calendar is now available everywhere, including on Android and the web

Christian Zibreg ∙ Updated January 26, 2018

Sunrise Calendar, a free iOS calendar alternative, on Thursday rolled out to Android smartphones, now available free of charge in Google's Play Store. In addition, the software has been released on desktop, too, in the form of a web app available in the Chrome Web Store.

And ff you prefer Apple's Safari over Google's Chrome browser, Sunrise Calendar can now be enjoyed as a regular web app, too, though you'll lose Chrome-specific functionality such as the offline mode. With that in mind, the app is now available pretty much everywhere: across the iPhone, iPad and Android devices and on the web...

Infinity Blade II goes free as App Store’s latest Free App of the Week

Christian Zibreg ∙ Updated January 27, 2019

Chair Entertainment's Infinity Blade III is still on sale following the massive 'Blade Masters' update and now its predecessor, Infinity Blade II, has been slashed to zero bucks, courtesy of Apple's ongoing Free App of the Week promotion (last week's free app: Fun Golf GPS 3D).

This means that you can download this elegiac masterpiece free of charge until next Thursday, after which it will go back up to its normal asking price of seven bucks.

It's a universal app so you can play it on both your iPhone and iPad. Again, this game is downright awesome so you'll most certainly regret passing on this deal if you don't act pronto. The triple-A iOS exclusive has been built on Epic Games' Unreal engine and is the closest thing to a system-seller on Apple's platform.

Go grab Infinity Blade II in the App Store now!

Beats releases improved Solo2 on-ear headphones

Christian Zibreg ∙ Updated November 9, 2016

Less than 24 hours into Apple's announcement that it is buying Beats for $3 billion, Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre's startup has announced a refreshed version of its best-selling headphones model, the Solo². Of course, this has nothing to do with Apple as the accessory has been in the making for months.

The new on-ear headphones offer a more dynamic, wider range of sound and a clarity that will "bring you closer to what the artist intended". The design has been revised for a better custom-fit feeling...

T-Mobile announces Uncarrier 5.0 event slated for June 18

Cody Lee ∙ May 29, 2014

Somewhere during the craziness of Apple confirming the Beats acquisition deal yesterday, T-Mobile announced that it will be hosting a media event next month. The carrier sent out invitations for an Uncarrier 5.0 event, to be held in Los Angeles on June 18.

The invite, posted above, reads 'we don't play it safe and sound,' but offers few clues on what T-Mobile is going to announce. In previous 'Uncarrier' events, however, the company has addressed various parts of the wireless business that most annoy consumers...

Popular RSS client Reeder 2 now available in the Mac App Store

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 17, 2018

After extensive beta testing, popular RSS client Reeder 2 has landed in the Mac App Store. This is the app's first update on the Mac since Google shutdown its Google Reader service last year, which essentially broke most RSS clients.

As with the iOS version, Reeder 2 for Mac adds support for a number of RSS services that have tried to fill the gap left by Google, such as Feedbin and Feedly. And it also now serves as a standalone RSS client, so no syncing is required...
