My favorite games

We all have spare time or at least make some during the course of our day. In that spare time some of us play games, weather it be on our mobile device or gaming console.

So here are a few of my favorite mobile games (In no particular order):

1. Reaper: RPG coolness. Days of game play. Upgrade your armour, swords etc and kick butt while exploring the map. Game story is cool in my opinion.
2. Dead Trigger:  Cause blasting zombies is awesome and scary (whats with the zombie fascination lately though).
3. Fruit Ninja:  This is a classic fruit cutting game on the Android OS (Warning: you will rub your finger tips off lol).
4. Real Boxing:  Boxing game...duh.  You can customize your character and work your way through three championship belts.  Pretty decent when you get the hang of the fighting style.
5. Real Racing:  Racing game...duh.  This game is cool, your achievements are saved to your Google account (if activated) and tells you when a friend beats your time on.  Plenty of tracks and cars to purchase.  Modify your car, get an agent and make money to unlock new tracks and cars.
6. Totem Runner:  This game is a runner i.e. your character runs without your assistance, you just tap.  Story is, the world has been corrupted and your aim is to run through the level bring back life to the world.  You've got 2 animal forms you can take to help you avoid obstacles.
7. Clash of Clans: If you've ever plays age of empire, settlers, warcraft or any strategic games similar to those Clash of Clans is a good way to spend your free time building your base and taking on other player worldwide. I've personally spent month playing this game and definitely recommend it.
8. Zenonia : Good RPG game to button smash some monthers and upgrade your avatar with the good gears.
9. Plants vs Zombies 2: Its free and its plants vs zombies and its addictive what more can i say.
10. Angry Birds Go: This is a fun racing game from the makers of angry birds.
11. Major Mayhem:  Nice shoot-em-up runner.  Rescue your girlfriend and save your country against ninjas.

Well that's that for now in the games category.

Weakness found in Samsung’s Knox

Knox knox, who’s there?

Ok, so Samsung in thinking about security for corporate users created “Knox”.  Knox was designed to beef up security for the Android OS for a more practical use in business environs.

It’s said that emails and data communication on Samsung devices running the Knox security software has been breached.  To make this worst, it’s believed that malicious code could possibly be inserted into the vulnerability found.

Of course Samsung has down played this hole in their software based on the grounds that the device which was tested did not have all of Knox’s’ security features installed.

With the Pentagon considering using Samsung devices, this could potentially be a huge lost for Samsung if the Government decided to go in a different direction.

TCL 2ghz octa-core

TCL anyone....

Well TCL (aka the Alcatel brand outside of China) has announced their flagship phone the "Idol X+"

The Idol X+ will rock a 2GHz octa-core (yes...that's eight (8) cores) chipset with 2GB of RAM, a 2,500 mAh battery, 5 inch 1080p IPS display and 13mp camera.

Since most leading phone brands are now pushing wrist watch variants I guess TCL say "why not" and added what they call a "Boom Band" with the phone.  It's basically a wristband with Bluetooth that comes in handy for fitness purposes and alarms to help you locate your phone.

This phone will hit shelves January 15th unlocked at $330 but availability outside of China is still unsure.

CyanogenMod (CM)

Ever since they dropped CM 4.3 I've been waiting on a 4.4 release.  With Nexus devices getting the latest updates so quickly it's easy to feel a little left out but it goes without saying that flagship devices will always be the first to get the latest update.

CM has been very busy lately sourcing funding for their various projects and their mainstream venture with partner Oppo and release of the Oppo N1 (which made its debut this Christmas Eve).  Wonder what they got planned for 2014?.....
