Table Top Racing Android Review Nexus 5 – Androidizen

Table Top Racing Android Review – this is probably my new favourite racing game on Android. Table Top Racing combines the best of Mario Kart with Micro Machines to deliver a stunning racer that is buttery smooth on the Nexus 5. Outstanding graphics and free to play with in-app purchases IAP’s this is a title worth a bit of your time. ****

Xbox One 8% performance boost incoming! See Ya Kinect! – Androidizen

Xbox One 8% performance is being rumoured thanks to removal of the requirement to hold 10% of the system resources for Kinect. In future developers will only have to reserve 2% for the microphone but the 8% for video will be free for use by game, however the developer wants to use it. See Xbox One Accessories: http://goo.gl/g2DFi4

I said it right at the start of this generation that Kinect is the albatross around which the Xbox One will fail.. now do you believe me? Even Microsoft has lost confidence! ****

PS4 Problems and Failures PlayStation 4 – Androidizen

PS4 Problems and Failures PlayStation 4 – what sucks with PS4 – following on from the Xbox One video we consider where Sony failed with the PlayStation 4 and why it could have happened. See PS4 games: http://goo.gl/gK3Zab

Sony certainly took some shortcuts with the PS4 controller and bundled accessories and there’s a fair few things missing from the software offering, like DLNA support that is just plain bizarre Problems and Failures PlayStation 4. ****

Xbox One – Where it all went wrong! Problems and Failures – Androidizen

Xbox One – Where it all went wrong for Microsoft, Xbox One problems and failures. In this video I discuss the Xbox One – and what could have happened to see the flagship console deliver weak performance compared to the PS4. See Xbox One accessories: http://goo.gl/g2DFi4

The Xbox One could have been a contender and continued the excellent work of the 360 but sadly Microsoft’s decision to go with DDR3 and the Kinect as a bundled device mean they are under-powered and over-priced.

We already know the resolution on most cross platform games is lower on the Xbox One but now we are hearing the next set of games hitting both consoles will see 30fps on Xbox One but 60fps on PS4, just a few months after launch.

To say this is a disaster for Microsoft Xbox One’s long term plans is an understatement. Come 2016 with the launch of the Nintendo Fusion, Microsoft may find itself half way through the cycle with the least powerful console. ****

Dash Grip EX OSOmount Review – Androidizen

Dash Grip EX OSOmount Review – Today I’m taking a look at OSOMount’s latest Dash Grip the EX. Boasting one handed operation, the redesigned Dash Grip offers all the usual top notch functionality of previous models including the gravity defying Suction Cup and the 360 degree Rotational Head.

Buy Online:
OSOmount Website: http://goo.gl/HoxK74
Amazon: http://goo.gl/AY117g

The Dash Grip EX can take any device up to 4 inches wide allowing even the Galaxy Note 3 to get in on the action.

Retailing at 24.99 on the OSOmount website, and with a two-year warranty, the Dash Grip EX is a worthy successor and its one handed operation works perfectly. ****

Major Mayhem is a AAA mobile title for sure, boasting incredible graphics and fast gameplay. It has in-app purchases but is also free to play and isn’t too aggressive with its search for your wallet.

Major Mayhem is well worth checking out, it’s rare we get a game this well made on mobile for free. ****

Robocop Android Review Nexus 5 – Androidizen

Robocop Android Review – latest tie into the new movie that is coming out soon.

Unfortunately, this is a pretty soulless Robocop movie cash-in game. There’s not a lot here to really recommend, other than the fact it is free to play with in-app purchases which you know are fairly aggressive.

The biggest issue I have with Robocop is the frame rate which is constantly dipping even in reasonably simple scenes. It’s a real shame because on the Nexus 5 you would expect the game to be an absolute fly away title. ****

Nexus 5 Spigen Slim Armor Case Review – Androidizen

Nexus 5 Spigen Slim Armor case review – this is a truly excellent Nexus 5 case from Spigen. This particular case provides anti-shock protection as well as a hard outer shell which is excellent if you want to keep your Nexus 5 in tiptop condition. Did you know that a case that doesn’t add shock protection is probably not much better than wrapping your device in a paper bag?

The shock of the device hitting the ground in a case with no anti-shock means that all of the force of hitting concrete is transferred through the case and into your Nexus 5 -potentially cracking the screen.

With the Slim Armor case with anti-shock absorbtion removes some of that energy from the impact, allowing the case to take the brunt of the force not your smartphone.

The in the hand feel of this case is truly excellent and one of the things I found remarkable in many respects is it almost mimics the feel of the Nexus 5 so it’s almost like you don’t have a case on at all.

The one downside is the buttons on the case. They don’t quite have the tactile feedback that we could potentially have expected from this smartphone case. However it is a minor quibble in what is otherwise a truly excellent way to protect your Nexus 5. ****
