North & South is back and looking better than ever, the classic Amiga strategy game has been given a make over but underneath the same great game play and deep thinking is still here.

If you##Q##re into Android strategy games, and most of us are, then North & South – The Game is one you##Q##ll want to get, for its nostalgia value as much as anything.

To recap, for those of us in the UK, this is a game about the American Civil War which happened between 1861 and 1865. So you##Q##ve got the Union of Northern States battling the Confederation of Southern States.

Keep up at the back there! History lesson nearly over!

It sounds complicated, but it isn##Q##t. You##Q##re on one side or the other and you##Q##ll soon get into this cartoon-style game which is back with new features.

There are three game modes so you can plan your battles before getting into battlefield mode. As usual, with strategy games, you can pit your wits against the computer, or play against other players online. The multiplayer modes are really good fun and when you add in the weather, ships, Indians and Mexicans you can see there is a lot of replayability in this Android game.

Intuitive controls and exciting action make this the sort of game you can pick up and play or settle down with to a whole night of gaming.

At £1.54, North and South – The Game is by bitComposer Entertainment AG, devs of Chaos Chronicles, Galaxy on Fire and the ever-popular Citadels.

The v.2.1 version of the Facebook app is being rolled out at the moment and includes the ability to open and look at photos more quickly, you can share your friends##Q## postings to timelines, groups and pages and you can also, in a revolutionary move, send voice messages.

If you##Q##re someone who likes accessing photos through Facebook then you##Q##ll be pleased about the picture upgrade as it could be a little tardy at times on the original version.

The new share option means that you don##Q##t just share from your own timeline but if you want to, you can share things your friends have posted in theirs as well as groups and pages where you have registered a like.

Being able to send a voice message is a welcome innovation, although Facebook Messenger on iOS and Android already have it. It##Q##s part of a promise Facebook made that it was going to invest in upgrades to release updated apps every month or so.

Facebook has recently announced Graph Search, although it isn##Q##t available in the UK yet. For instance, if you want to eat at a particular restaurant, you##Q##ll be able to see which of your friends have already eaten there and whether they recommend it. Before you put in a job application you could also search for friends who worked at a certain firm if you wanted to find out what they thought about working there.

Google is currently the world leader and most popular search engine but Facebook is hoping that it will corner a large part of the market. It already has a billion searches on its system every day.

Graph Social is being rolled out very slowly to see how it goes. Around 100,000 people can access it at the moment. There will be new privacy settings so that Facebook users stay in control of their content.

The free v.2.1 update is available on the Google Play Store.

Asteroid 2012 is receiving wow reviews with players nostalgic for the old arcade classic loving the upgrade as much as new gamers discovering it for the first time.

Twitterers can now preview post summaries and photos without having to access the whole thing. You##Q##ll also be able to email tweets, even if the person you##Q##re emailing doesn##Q##t use Twitter.

You can now also see tweets in discover with links to news and photos. In the past you could only see the story previews which were not interactive.

Twitter has completely redone the backend and user interface in this upgrade and Twitter cards allow you to attach media to tweets that link to content.

Instead of getting short urls you##Q##ll be able to get previews with headlines and photos so it should bring content up faster, with fewer mouse clicks. If you email someone a tweet then it will keep any photos that were attached to the post.

This feature is rolling out now and you can get it through the ##Q##More##Q## link which you##Q##ll find on the right hand side of any tweet.

As far as the search option goes, photo and video results will be at the top of search results, with better ranking information, showing users who have favourited or retweeted it.

How to get the Android update for Twitter fans

Twitter has done deals with the New York Times and Wall Street Journal to show images, headlines and a small amount of text which links to their stories in user feeds. It##Q##s a welcome upgrade and we wonder if we##Q##ll see newspapers in the UK tagging along with this development, perhaps some of the local newspaper groups like Newsquest, Johnston Press and Trinity Mirror will think it worth investigating further.

You can get the updated Android app from the Android app store.
