Speaking as a confirmed Star Wars fan with pretty decent creds to back up my obsession, I was both overly excited and justifiably leery of Konami’s new collectable card game (CCG) based on my favorite movie of all time.
Star Wars Force Collection is a CCG that is based on everyone’s favorite scruffy-looking Nerf herder and his band of lovable misfits. Sounds like a dream come true for sci-fi nerds, but does it live up to its namesake…
This past weekend saw the last official holiday weekend of the summer. While the sun still beats down on us as we take our evening stroll, the days are definitely getting shorter.
If you need a calendar to keep track of your time, want to pass the time with a casual game, or feel the need to plan a secret invasion, we’ve got a list of apps and games to make your weekend a little more entertaining…
The folks over at Yelp have been on a roll in recent weeks. Following the addition of the ability to order food, and the 7.0 release earlier this month, the popular ratings and review site has issued another update for its mobile client.
Today's update, which brings the app to version 7.1, brings about a handful of new features and improvements. This includes an all-new photo viewer for scoping out restaurants and businesses, improved search function, and more...
Good news today for users of Microsoft's popular OneNote application; the company just posted a major update for the iOS client. Now, the update itself isn't huge, but it features some significant improvements that will change how you use the tablet app.
Up until now, you couldn’t create new notebooks from the iPad, so you always had to defer to the desktop or web version of it at some point. But with today’s update, Microsoft has added this and other features, essentially making it standalone software...
The official BlackBerry Messenger app for iPhone is on the way, according to the Canadian-based company. Alex Kinsella, a Senior Manager who is working on the software, tweeted out this afternoon that BBM for iPhone has been submitted to the App Store.
In fact, Kinsella says his team submitted the app for review two weeks ago, meaning it's basically up to Apple now when we'll see it made available. And it'll be interesting to see what happens here, as the company has a history of blocking big releases...
After updating its official iOS client with the somewhat controversial conversation redesign (hint: blue lines), the micro-blogging service Twitter now turns its attention to its music discovery app, Twitter #music. In a new update issued Friday, Twitter #music now shows tweets along with each track right in your #NowPlaying feed.
"We've put the Twitter into Twitter #music," the company boasted. That's not all, as these tweets are fully actionable, which makes me wonder whether the company will eventually fold the #music app into the Twitter mobile client down the road...
Battling against mounted armies with nothing but a spear and a shield may seem unfair, but all is fair in love and war, or so they say. When the odds are against you, fight harder.
Ancient Battle: Rome is a strategy turn-based game that puts you in command of Roman legionaries in classic battles of old. Prepare your troops for attack because this war will not end well…
Now normally, when you see a 'name your own price' deal you think: what's the catch? At least that's what I think. If I really get to name my own price for something, can I just say $1? That's not usually the case, but it is with this new Stack Social promo.
The deal site is offering up 3 Mac apps—Airy, My Living Desktop and Compartments—that usually cost a combined $60, for literally whatever you want to pay. The only thing is your offer must be $1 or above, and if it's $12 or more, you get more apps...
These days, it is fairly easy to share things with other devices through cloud storage. However, those services are usually limited in size. Plus, it takes a few steps to grab a file, save it to a cloud storage app, then go to another device, open the cloud storage app, find the file, and download it.
DeskConnect makes it possible to easily share all kinds of media across multiple devices without having to save it in the cloud first. There are no limits on number of devices, storage capacity, or file type. Just drag-and-drop and you’re ready to go…
With just five days left until Apple's big iOS 7/iPhone 5S/5C big reveal next Tuesday, a bunch of iOS 7 focused updates have begun trickling in. Some of the most popular apps from both Apple and well-known brands like PayPal are now being refreshed with a matching flat iOS 7 look and feel, including major games such as Electronic Arts' Real Racing 3.
You can now add Google's Drive app for the iPhone and iPad to your iOS 7 compatibility list. You'll immediately notice a drastically redesigned interface that behaves much like its Android counterpart, without looking out of place on iOS 7.
Along with a few other enhancements, you're going to absolutely love the card-style thumbnail layout from Android as it makes it dead easy and fun to browse and preview your files - and it looks even more gorgeous on the iPad.

It's been months since PayPal issued any significant update to its iPhone client. Today, the company took to the official blog to announce a brand new version of PayPal for iPhone, a major step up compared to the previous basic version.
In addition to the revamped interface, the refreshed software features front and center a new Shop section which makes it easy to find shops or restaurants nearby that accept PayPal payments. That's just scratching the surface: the new build finally lets you check out at your local stores, pay at table, order ahead and even browse for local offers.
As a bonus, the application now makes it possible to switch payment methods on the go to make sure you get reward points from a particular card. Another useful capability: the popular Bill Me Later payment option has been added. I've included additional information and PayPal's promotional video past the fold...
Last month, 2K Games announced a new iOS exclusive racing title called '2K Drive.' The game features a number of real world vehicles, more than 25 tracks, 100+ unique events, and what the developers call "the most precise driving on iOS."
Combine all of this with impressive graphics and gameplay, and needless to say the game caught our attention. So we were excited to hear this morning that 2K Drive has been released on the App Store, and is now available for download...
