Retro review: Infinity Blade
Do you remember when Epic Games actually made epic games? No, I'm not talking about Fortnite, I'm talking about an objectively good game: Infinity Blade. This game took the world by storm when it first came out in 2010 and it was the first game on iOS to use the Unreal Engine.
This game made over $1.6 million in its first week and $23 million by the end of 2011. Epic Games knows how to make high-grossing games, I'll give them that. Due to its success, it got two sequels and even got two novellas. Now, the game is just a memory that's almost forgotten. I'm saying almost because we're bringing back for today's retro review.

iPhone XS smacks iPhone 11 Pro in app launching speed test
Apple’s annual iPhone unveiling typically includes the introduction of an all-new SoC with modest speed improvements, with this year’s focus being the A13 Bionic chip.
