Where’s My Water? 2 Android Review – Androidizen

Disney’s Where’s My Water? 2 looks like being a winner.

This brain and puzzle game has already got four stars from 46,200+ visitors to the Google Play Store and it looks like being a popular one to play as the evenings get darker and you’re looking for some indoor entertainment.

This is the sequel to an earlier physics-based offering Where’s My Water in which Swampy, Allie and Cranky have new locations like a sewer, soap factory and beach. Yes, we think they might need a good wash after an encounter with the sewer too!

In an appealing scenario with 100 levels, you have to help Swampy with fresh water. There are challenge modes so that you can replay levels without getting bored and you can also use Facebook to compete with your friends.

Each character has its own game mechanics and personality and if you complete achievements you can earn special themed ducks like astronaut-duckie and gladiator-duckie.

There have been one or two issues related to crashes and problems unlocking levels and progressing, but the devs say the solution is to uninstall the app and then reinstall it.

You’ll need Android 2.3.3 to play Where’s My Water? 2 and it’s suitable for the youngest members of the family. ****

GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition Review with sample footage – Androidizen

by admin

GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition Review. I picked up a new video camera, the Hero 3 Black Edition while I was on holiday and thought you might like to know my thoughts and see some sample footage.

The GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition is a very versatile wearable camera system that can shoot in Super HD all the way down to WVGA. With a range of frame rates including the excellent 1080p/60 and 720p/120 you can capture even the smallest slice of time with ease.

For me, it’s all about getting my hands free and keeping the camera out of the way so I can capture what’s happening around me without distracting people with a camera in the face.

The GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition has wifi support allowing you to control the camera with the included dongle or with your Android device. The GoPro Android app is fantastic and allows for complete control over the Hero 3 Black Edition.

You can even use it to view recorded videos on the Hero 3 Black Edition or preview the live feed from the cam before triggering the record function.

GoPro have even released PC and Mac software that allows you to edit and colour grade your Hero 3 Black Edition footage, removing fish eye from the wide footage and allowing you to slow down your footage. Transcoding allows you to export all your footage into uncompressed avi at the spec shot so if you want to import your 720p/120fps footage into another editing system you can.

I really love my GoPro and can’t wait to do more with it. ****

Call of Duty Strike Team Android Review Galaxy S4 – Androidizen

by admin

Call of Duty Strike Team has been released for Android. In our Review we take a look at Call of Duty Strike Team and render our verdict.

Overall, Call of Duty Strike Team is an interesting game that struggles to live up to the franchise’s high quality bar. Bugs aplenty and the inclusion of IAP’s in a premium mobile game is something to be wary of.

If Call of Duty Strike Team had chosen to be a FPS or a Tactical RTS separately things may have gone much better. As it stands it fails to be great at either one. As a hybrid sure, it’s a clever idea, and works well. However it could use a lot more polish and removal of the IAP’s or drop the premium price and go F2P.

It’s hard to ignore the fact this could have been a great Call of Duty game. As it stands Strike Team needs more focus to truly be great. ****

Dead Trigger 2 Review Android Galaxy S4 – Androidizen – Androidizen

by admin

Dead Trigger 2 Android. Here is a first look review at Madfinger Games’ latest release Dead Trigger 2, the sequel to the AAA Android title Dead Trigger. Wow! What a come back. Not only has the gameplay improved but the graphics have been given a big update, making this one of the best looking Android games released to date and offering near console quality gameplay and graphics.

What we really like about Dead Trigger 2 is the story which so far is much better than the original game. Now we have to rescue a team so we can form a resistance and ultimately get in touch with others around the world. The only let down in Dead Trigger 2 so far has been the voice acting which at times is bad, it’s a real pity flat dialogue can really pull you out of the experience at times.

Dead Trigger 2 is free to play with IAP and yes it wants your money! But the free experience has so far been very good.

It’s free to play so get your download at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.madfingergames.deadtrigger2 ****

Contra: Evolution Android Review Galaxy S4 – Androidizen – Androidizen

by admin

Contra: Evolution is probably the most frustrating game I have ever played on Android. Remaking the original but including everything that made the original a pain to play. Controls are sticky at best and the on screen action is so fast it’s a nightmare even to get past the first level. If you like punishment play Contra: Evolution, if you like your sanity choose something else! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.konami.contraevo.gp ****

Shadow Fight 2 Preview Android Galaxy S4 – Androidizen – Androidizen

by admin

Preview of Shadow Fight 2 due for release towards the end of 2013. This is one beat-em-up you won’t want to miss. So far the graphics are fantastic and the animation some of the best I’ve seen. Add to that gameplay that feels skill based over button bashing and I think you are all really going to like Shadow Fight 2. Look out for it towards the end of 2013, full review coming when it’s released. ****

Galaxy S4 Android 4.3 update features & release – Androidizen

by admin

Galaxy S4 Android 4.3 update has been released by Samsung and we have a run down of the latest features & release information. Android 4.3 for Galaxy S4 adds a number of very cool under the hood tweaks making the device a lot smoother and faster as well.
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/10/17/samsung-galaxy-s4-lte-gt-i9505-receives-official-android-4-3-update/

Samsung’s prediction that its Galaxy S4 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean firmware would be rolling out for the Samsung Galaxy S4 by the end of October has been accurate, with leaked info heralding the release of the real McCoy.

To begin with, Samsung Galaxy S4 owners in Germany will be pioneering the upgrade which will roll out all over the world by the end of 2013.

So what will we get in this latest update?

There will be OpenGL 3.0 support along with Galaxy Gear smartwatch support, Trim support and Ant+ support.

Samsung have also popped in the Knox Implementation of the bootloader and dedicated application and the Samsung Wallet is also featured.

There will be improved RAM management and a much sharper display with far better colour reproduction as well as an improved TouchWiz launcher which will solve lag problems with fewer redraws.

For keyboard warriors there’s a new keyboard as well as a new Samsung browser with a full screen by default and new tab interface.

A new reading mode will optimise display for reading with Galaxy S4 Android 4.3 and for the snap happy there’s welcome new camera firmware.

A few other tweaks have been made to the contacts app and the flashlight widget.

The result of this 4.3 upgrade is that Android performance will be heaps better, with benchmarks up by 20%, which is a significant amount.

You can download the update via Odin but if you do, you will invalidate your warranty so you may want to be patient. ****
