https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=15274 Wed, 08 Nov 2017 01:00:23 +0000 Why Lagging Can Make or Break Your Gameplay Every avid gamer will tell you that there is nothing more frustrating than when your phone lags in the middle of a game, causing you to mess up or die.

O post Why Lagging Can Make or Break Your Gameplay apareceu primeiro em PSafe Blog.

Lagging is one of the most annoying parts of playing any game on your device. Just a split second of lag can cause you to lose a level or die. If you want to keep lags from ruining your game time after time, take advantage of the Game Booster feature to improve your gameplay, without any lagging:


Game Booster allows for a better gaming experience by optimizing your gaming apps and preventing annoying things like lag during game play.

What Is Lag?
Lag is generally considered to be slowed computer or smartphone response time. If your device has slow application response time, that’s considered lag. This lag can be especially bad for gamers because it can be the difference between winning and losing. If you press a button to make your character jump to avoid danger, and your device lags so he jumps too late, lag is essentially what killed your character.

Lag can even cause the game to briefly pause, and when it unfreezes, your character will be in an entirely different place, causing you confusion. This also could be frustrating because your character could move to a dangerous spot after it unfreezes, which could cause death.

Some people would argue that every game you play has lag because your character doesn’t immediately perform the action right when you hit the button. There is always a fraction of a second of delay between the action and you pressing the button.

What Causes Lag?
Lag is usually caused by a slow cellular or Wi-Fi connection, or having too many apps downloaded on your computer or smartphone. If your device has a lot running in the background, then it will slow down all of your apps, including your gaming apps. Lag can even cause the game to slow to a stop, which causes many avid gamers to go crazy and become very upset.

In addition to using Game Booster to improve your gameplay, if you want to prevent lag when playing games, try finding a better Internet connection or else clearing any unused apps from your device with the App Manager feature. Click here to quickly remove unwanted apps in one screen:


Video games are so immersive, so when a game slows or stops completely, it can really take you out of the moment and cause frustration. This is why many online gamers will tell you that lag is their worst nightmare because it can make or break a game for them.

Angry Birds Evolution
The Angry Birds Franchise is back with another hit. Rovio’s newest launch, Angry Birds Evolution is much edgier than its predecessors.

Battle Bay

https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=11463 Sat, 27 May 2017 12:00:47 +0000 All About RAM Speed and How it Affects Your Gameplay If you’re into Android gaming, then you’ll want a smartphone with enough RAM. But how does RAM affect how your games function?

O post All About RAM Speed and How it Affects Your Gameplay apareceu primeiro em PSafe Blog.

]]>
Random Access Memory (RAM) is one of the most important indicators of a phone’s speed. The more RAM you have available, the faster your phone will perform. Of course, this is particularly relevant in gaming: the faster the phone’s performance, the better. If your games don’t seem to be running as quickly as you think they should, use the Game Booster feature to improve your games’ performance:

make-games-run-faster
Game Booster frees up RAM to optimize gameplay. That way, you’ll no longer experience lagging or freezing as you play. You can also use the Memory Booster feature to further improve your phone’s performance, whether you’re playing a game or are on Facebook. Memory Booster lets you see which applications are running in your phone’s background and close them to speed up your device and free up RAM. Click here to improve your phone’s performance:

tap-for-a-memory-boost
Read More: How Much Memory Do You Need on Your Phone?

Okay, so you know that more RAM can improve game play and phone speed. But what is RAM exactly? RAM is the function that allows for information storage and retrieval on your smartphone. RAM is more efficient than a hard-drive, for example, because it accesses data randomly, not sequentially. This means that, when you turn off your device, all RAM is lost.

When is More RAM Necessary?

Mostly, RAM is needed to run multiple functions at the same time. That means that if you have several apps running in the background along with browser tabs open, these apps will start slowing down if your RAM is low. If you have more RAM on your phone — or if you let your phone stop multitasking so much — your phone’s games will run much more efficiently.

Many Androids have had problems with 1GB of RAM or less. With such limited RAM, the Android operating system doesn’t function very smoothly. If you’re into Android gaming, you should aim to buy an Android with 2GB of RAM or more. However, it isn’t rare for some big gamers to need 4 or even 8GB of RAM to reach peak performance.

A higher RAM speed really matters if you’re playing games that require integrated graphics systems such as AMD’s APUs. Additionally, if you’re overtaxing your system playing certain games, increased RAM can make your system more stable. However, you likely won’t need more than 8GB of RAM for many reasons. Unlike other things, RAM only improves performance to a certain point, not exponentially.

More RAM means quicker gameplay. To make sure your phone’s games are functioning to peak capacity, make sure you’ve used DFNDR’s features to close any unnecessary, RAM-sucking apps running in your phone’s background.

A Powerful Android for Gaming

The Samsung Galaxy S8’s ability to play GameCube games was initially revealed by a YouTube user. The YouTube user was able to use the Android Dolphin emulator — which can run GameCube and Wii games on Android — to play various GameCube games. While this is usually a difficult function for a smartphone to perform, the Galaxy S8 is able to recreate the experience rather smoothly.

Some of the best GameCube games of all time include: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Mario Kart: Double Dash, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Smash Bros. Melee. The YouTube user tested out all of these games except for Mario Kart, and found them all to perform very well on the Galaxy S8.

The Galaxy S8 is the first Samsung smartphone that has been able to play games from gaming consoles rather seamlessly. It has a much more powerful processor than previous versions. Many Galaxy S7 users, for example, could not emulate various video games without also experiencing lagging and other issues.

The Future of Gaming on Smartphones

As smartphones further improve, we’re likely to see more classic video games resurfacing, and even smoother gameplay. Whether or not you’re a fan of classic GameCube or Wii games, there’s no doubt that the Galaxy S8 is a great smartphone for gaming. If you’re a huge gamer and you’re in the market for a new phone, you can’t go wrong with the Galaxy S8 — especially if you further boost your device with Game Booster.

Star Wars: Force Arena

As part of a new gaming genre, Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA), is categorized as a strategy game — but it combines many elements mobile gamers of all kinds will love. You will begin with a tutorial so you can learn your way around the Star Wars world. While you will want to rush headlong into battle, this game isn’t a “defeat your foes with a lightsaber over and over” kind of a game. Instead, Star Wars: Force Arena brings something new to the table. It combines the best of mobile gaming apps like Clash Royale with the fun of large battles actually played against a real person and not an artificially intelligent bot. The rush of victory is all the sweeter.

First, you build a battle deck around your “Legendary” card, the character you will be while on the field. The seven other slots will become filled by using your troop or support cards that you then allow into battle by using your energy points. They do regenerate so don’t worry. The goal here is to destroy your opponent’s base. Place your troops in the field (and yes, that includes X-Wings) and focus on those turrets. Each skirmish is timed so whoever receives the most points (that’s a plus one for each turret) wins the match.

Click on the items you want to damage and let your troops get to work. Click on the card to deploy them automatically. With more than eighty characters to upgrade, and recent additions to the pack in the form of four new characters (two each for the light and dark side), it’s a game that’s hard to put down and should be on your apps to download list.

Android Wear has become a trendy way to tell time — and kill time, by evolving into a watch that also allows you to play games. Here are a few of the games that people are raving over this month.

Tilt

Tilt is an interactive game that requires you to utilize your Android device’s camera. Specifically, you activate the game, and must point your camera down to your watch. On your camera, you will see a virtual ball on your watch which is serving as a platform. The game requires you to balance the ball as long as possible without it falling off of your wrist. While it wastes loads of battery power on both devices, it is an excellent way to sharpen your hand-eye coordination.

2048 for Android Wear

2048 is an interesting mathematical game that requires you to combine like numbers until you reach 2048. For example, if you have two 2’s, you can combine them to make a 4. You must then find another 4 on the grid, and combine them to make an 8. This continues until you reach 2048, and then you can keep playing beyond your victory. Blocks containing other numbers make it harder to find two like numbers to combine. Run out of combinations, and you must start over.

Ingress

This live interactive game requires you to travel to different landmarks in your city and maintain their possession. You lose possession of these landmarks when someone else comes and captures your territory. These territories are known as “portals,” and there are opposing teams that will try and sabotage your portals.

Now more than ever, Android users can enjoy downloading games — and other forms of entertainment — for use offline. That way, even if they don’t have cell phone service or a reliable Wi-Fi connection, they can still benefit from the technology. Additionally, to ensure that your games are running as quickly and effectively as possible, activate DFNDR’s Game Booster feature:

Game Booster

Although there are countless games available for download (in order to play offline), the following is a list of the best and most entertaining games that are available to kill time, take a break, or to challenge yourself to make it to the next level.

https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=4956 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 20:05:55 +0000 Which Companies Are Profiting off of eSports and How? eSports is where indolence meets competitiveness. Keep reading to learn about the new online sports craze and the companies that are profiting off of it.

O post Which Companies Are Profiting off of eSports and How? apareceu primeiro em PSafe Blog.

eSports, also known as electronic sports or professional gaming, is a gaming competition that involves players competing online in a variety of different video game genres. These gaming genres include first person shooter, strategy, fighting, multiple online battle arena, and more. There are several tournaments hosted for the best players in the world to compete. While this new gaming competition is an exciting innovation for gamers across the world, it is also highly profitable for those who wish to take advantage of the business.

So, Which Companies Profit from eSports?

Riot Games
It seems as if the companies that produce eSports games haul in the most revenue. Riot Games is the creator of the famous League of Legends (LoL), which has over 85 million players worldwide. After assessing the exploding popularity behind eSports, Riot Games quickly formed their own league for LoL players to compete in. The League of Legends Championship Series is currently in its fifth season. The events have been hosted at major sports venues such as Madison Square Garden and the Staples Center. Last year, their world championship finals attracted 27 million viewers.

Surprisingly, Riot Games doesn’t profit directly from the LoL Championship series. The company invests in eSports rather than profiting from the games. For example, the Chinese Internet company Tencent Holdings bought a majority stake from Riot Games for a price of $400 million.

Other Gaming Companies
Just as Spalding would profit from an increase in basketball players, the gaming companies are getting a steady flow of revenue from this new fad. The high sums of money at stake for some of these tournaments is incentivizing players around the world to invest heavily in the games that they love. When these games become eSports, they become more than just video games — they become a profitable competition. As a result, this adds an extra incentive for players to spend lots of time and money improving their skills.

Brands and Sponsorships
Just like professional athletic sports, sponsorships are a big part of the revenue associated with eSports. eSports have become increasingly popular to watch online. As a result, several companies are taking advantage of this marketing scheme. Just as LeBron James is sponsored by Nike, several big companies such as Red Bull are sponsoring talented eSports gamers to help improve the marketing of their brand.

https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=4369 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 20:50:58 +0000 User Retention is Declining in Pokemon Go After a very strong start, Pokemon GO has seemingly diminished in popularity. Read more to figure out the causes behind this decline.

O post User Retention is Declining in Pokemon Go apareceu primeiro em PSafe Blog.

Like new songs, new applications are typically only enjoyed until everyone gets bored of them. Well, it looks like this same death cycle is rearing its ugly head to Pokemon GO. Within a week after Pokemon GO was released in the US, it had broken records at the Apple store for most downloads in a week. Herds of people were crowding famous landmarks labeled as “Pokestops,” as they scurried to find their first legendary Pokemon. There were also reports of people rudely scavenging on their phones in places like graveyards and memorials.

Nevertheless, it seems as if the glory days of Pokemon GO are a thing of the past. At its peak, it was reported that Pokemon GO had 45 million players on the date of July 17, according to their Daily Active Users statistic.

However, Axiom Capital Management reported that over 10 million players have quit the game since the middle of July. The estimated daily users of Pokemon GO has subsided to below 30 million as of late August. Axiom’s statistics are also showing that engagement and downloads of Pokemon GO has fallen as well.

Fortunately, this decline in daily use has been offset by the proliferation of Pokemon GOers in foreign countries. Right as Pokemon GO was waning in popularity, they began releasing the game in countries such as Brazil, China, Indonesia, France, and more. As a result, the revenue lost by players quitting in the US is being compensated for by the growth experienced in other countries.

This is illustrated through the marginal decline in Nintendo’s profits. Nintendo owns about one third of Pokemon GO, and their price share fell only about 3% as a result of the diminishing popularity. Thus, Nintendo will certainly be able to stay afloat despite this Pokemon GO drought.
Although games are expected to lose players after a popularity boom, there are certainly other factors at hand other than time. For example, Niantic, the creators of Pokemon GO, cracked down on cheating and the usage of third party websites for unfair advantages. Plus, Niantic made the game slightly harder by removing the “nearby” feature on the game, which could have dissuaded some users from playing.

In sum, despite this loss in popularity, both Niacin and Nintendo will certainly have the resources to keep their businesses afloat.

https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=4094 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 19:19:16 +0000 How to Keep Your Phone Cool When Using VR Games Virtual Reality (VR) games can cause your phone to heat up substantially after extended play. Here we’ll teach you how to prevent your phone from overheating.

O post How to Keep Your Phone Cool When Using VR Games apareceu primeiro em PSafe Blog.

]]>
When you were a kid, did you ever dream of living inside of a video game? With VR, this childhood dream could become a (virtual) reality. VR games allow the user to virtually step inside of the video game by rendering a three-dimensional game play system.

As you can imagine, this realistic gaming system is exciting to many who like to play video games on their phones. However, your phone must work extremely hard to load VR games. As a result, your phone can overheat to dangerous temperatures while you play. Remember, an overheated phone is okay occasionally, but can cause real damage if overheated several times a day. To keep your phone cool in the real world while you’re hanging out in the virtual one, try a few of these tips:

Read More: Your Digital Footprint and Why it Matters

Turn your phone to airplane mode
Turning on airplane modes shuts down your phone’s wireless connection, which will give your phone the ability to focus solely on running the game. While you won’t be able to stream any content in your VR games, your battery life won’t be sucked up by constantly updating, Wi-Fi-connected apps either.

Plug in your phone to an outlet
Some VR players swear by plugging in their phone cords when playing to stop their phones from overheating. For example, if you plug in a charger to your headset, then your phone won’t have to work so hard to power these external devices.

Play next to a fan
To cool down your phone, you can play your games in front of, yep, an actual fan. While it might limit your mobility, a room fan can help the teeny tiny fan inside your phone to stay functional.

Remove your phone’s back cover
While it doesn’t look pretty, your phone’s internal workings are less likely to overheat if you take the back cover off of your phone. You might have to remove your pretty phone cover first, but it’s worth a shot if you struggle with a constantly hot phone.

Download PSafe Total
PSafe Total’s CPU cooler cools down your device whenever it’s overheating. The easy-to-use feature turns on to prevent your phone from reaching temperatures that can damage it. PSafe Total’s other features, like the Memory Booster (a function that clears out unnecessary phone files), keeps your phone from working harder than it needs to, which also stops overheating.

O post The Best Android Apps for Classic Board Game Lovers apareceu primeiro em PSafe Blog.

Our lives often don’t operate as efficiently as our smartphones — that’s why we have applications on our phones to make our lives easier and to keep us entertained while we’re waiting in line or commuting on the train to work. Now, you can take your favorite classic board games with you on your smartphone everywhere you go, without the hassle of lugging around heavy boxes or looking for a missing game piece.

1. Monopoly Here & Now by Hasbro

This app presents Monopoly in an animated, 3D version, with the gist of the game still in tact. But now the game includes international real estate locations, in cities such as Paris and Sydney, and international playing pieces, like the Russian Nesting Doll or the Sumo Wrestler. You can play in single player mode or play against a friend by linking your phones. There’s even the option to connect the app to your TV with Chromecast, a great option for larger groups or those who just want to watch the game.

2. Risk: Global Domination by Hasbro

Another classic board game created by Hasbro, this game stays true to the original Risk rules. In addition, it includes 4 different game modes, 4 difficulty settings, and can have up to 6 players. Like the Monopoly app, this game can also be connected to the TV with Chromecast for more than just the players involved to enjoy.

3. Battleship by smuttlewerk interactive

This app mimics the original mood and setup of the game, but in a blueprint format (a nod to the original pencil and paper format of the game from WWI). The blueprint displays the location of your ships, where they have been hit, which of your enemy’s ships have been eliminated, and a grid showing hits and misses of your enemy’s fleet.

4. Scrabble by Electronic Arts

In this version of Scrabble you don’t need a friend to play — you can play against the computer, or else against an opponent randomly selected online. However, there is the option to play against your Facebook friends, and chat with them as you play. This app even includes a Scrabble dictionary to help you out, or timed play if you want to further challenge yourself.

Download one or all of these apps now to keep your mind entertained and engaged while on your morning commute — or even if you just want to relax and play your favorite board game.

O post Hyperkin Unveils Product that Makes Your Phone a Gameboy apareceu primeiro em PSafe Blog.

]]>
Remember your Game Boy Color? Remember the classic graphics? Remember the catchy tunes in the Pokemon gyms? You obviously miss it. That is why Hyperkin is releasing a product in early December that will allow you to contact your inner child.

This device, called the “Smartboy,” fits as a cartridge outside of your Android. With tactile Gameboy buttons, this item will deliver the true Gameboy playing experience. Simply slide your phone into the cartridge, insert your desired game, and you are ready for your stroll down memory lane.

Read More: 5 of the Best Arcade Games Available on Android

The Smart Boy Development Kit, which started as an April Fool’s joke earlier this year, manifested into a reality. Hyperkin has a projected release date of December 1st 2016, just in time for the holiday rush. If you want to ensure you have the item by the holiday season, you can pre-order it for $59.99.

The Smartboy is compatible with both Gameboy and Gameboy Color game cartridges. So gather all of your old Zelda Gameboy games from the closet, because they will finally be useful again.

This product is only available for Android. The schematic presented online only has a depiction of a gray Smartboy, but hopefully more colors will emerge on the market as this product booms in popularity.

The device is still being developed. More details will be available as we get closer to the release date. But it is known that Hyperkin will also include “open source serial app and firmware.” In layman’s terms, this means that users will have the opportunity to fix glitches and develop the technology. The updates and builds can be saved and uploaded to a Hyperkin forum.

Maybe it’s the irony of using new technology to revive antiquated 1990’s games. Maybe it’s the excitement of turning your cellphone into your favorite childhood gaming gadget. Whatever it is, Gameboy enthusiasts can’t wait to snag this item in early December.

Android app creators release new games all the time. Some of them are buggy. Others aren’t as fun to play as they might seem. Others cost more than they’re worth. The holy grail of the awesome Android game app might seem hard to find, but it’s out there. Here, we’ll tell you about five of the best Android game apps that you should check out immediately.

Badland

A multi-player game in which you must escape obstacles and beat the scrolling screen from eating you up. The game’s recently-added additions let players create their own levels and play in adventure mode.

Read More: 5 of the Best Arcade Games Available on Android

Plants vs Zombies 2

While it’s in technically a classic tower defense game, Plants vs Zombie 2 has a different twist: you use a variety of plants to take on a zombie army. Each level of the game is different and requires you to use serious strategy to win. Best of all, you get a lot of the game’s content for free.

Fallout Shelter

Fallout Shelter lets you do what its name implies: create a fallout shelter. First, you need to build an underground shelter, and then create a community that lets your little people – called Dwellers – thrive and prosper. Once the fallout is over, you can send your Dwellers out to explore the new land.

Cut the Rope 2

A unique take on the puzzle game, Cut the Rope 2 has you “cut the rope” to feed candy to a strange animal named Om Nom. Each level gets more difficult – and the puzzles are truly a challenge.

Dragon Heroes: Shooter RPG

Your goal in this game is to save Dragonia from dragons. To play, you advance through various levels, each of which you unlock different heroes with different skills. You then use the heroes to shoot at dragons and protect your land.

As you’re really getting into a new game, the last thing you want is for your phone to slow down. Make sure that doesn’t happen with PSafe Total. PSafe’s CPU Cooler ensures your phone doesn’t get too hot, which, in turn, keeps your phone working quickly.

The Moga Controller is the grandfather of Android’s Bluetooth controllers. Now, there are other controller options, but the Moga isn’t outdated. Instead, there are tons of classic and new games to play using the controller. Here are four of our favorites.

Terraria

Remember the classic game Minecraft? Terraria has been called a 2-D version. In Terraria you are still mining for minerals, but you are also building things, working to defeat enemies, and traveling through many different environments. The game is huge: there are 450 enemies to fight and over 1,300 crafting recipes. Terraria comes in two versions: a free app that lets you make in-app purchases or a more complete $4.99 version that still has some in-app purchasing.

Grand Theft Auto

All four of the popular Grand Theft Auto games were converted to be played on Moga Controller. Like the games for other types of consoles, play includes walking around the city, taking on a variety of assignments, and, of course, tons of cars. All four games from the Grand Theft Auto series are available with Moga Controller support for a variety of prices. None of the games require in-app purchases.

The Bard’s Tale

Another game with old-school features, the Bard’s Tale is a revamping of a game popular in the 1980s. The role-playing game, with more than 24-hours of storyline, lets you navigate through a world using different armors, spells, and weapons. One of the first games compatible with the Moga Controller, you can download the Bard’s Tale for $1.99 with in-app purchases.

Final Fantasy III and IV

These classic games just recently became Moga Controller supported, but it was worth the wait. Final Fantasy III and IV are role-playing games with hours and hours of storyline, an open world, and a number of interesting characters for you to meet. Each of these titles costs $15.99, but neither requires any in-app purchasing.

As you’re playing your heart out on your Moga Controller, you want to make sure your phone is running smoothly. Before you get started gaming, download PSafe Total. PSafe’s CPU Cooler makes sure your hardworking phone doesn’t overheat, as well as eliminating lag time while you’re playing.

O post PokémonGo and Your Privacy: What You Need to Know apareceu primeiro em PSafe Blog.

]]>
PokémonGo’s app was recently updated — even though its first release was only in July of this year — due to the fact that the original app poses some significant privacy concerns for users.  The chief privacy concern is that the app requests and receives full access to the Google accounts of users who login to it. In the updated version of the app, which users are being encouraged to download, the app and game developers only have access to the user’s basic account information.

Privacy Concerns and PokémonGo

Before the recent update to the PokémonGo app, users who logged in to the game with Google were required to give full access to their Google account. This allowed the app to have access to a large amount of users’ personal information. The app could access a user’s Gmail, important documents, and other personal data that they had stored in their Google account. For this reason, the initial version of the PokémonGo app posed a significant security risk factor.

PokémonGo Makes a Change

The good news for users of this popular game is that along with addressing security concerns in the new version of PokémonGo, the company has provided assurance that they never actually collected or stored significant amounts of private data about its users. The makers contend, and outside sources verify, that the initial account access request was a mere error that the Niantic team never exploited for any sinister purposes.

The app did, however, track the location of the devices upon which the game was played, as well as track recently viewed webpages from the user’s browsing history. Much of this information was collected simply to enhance the user’s enjoyment of the game by allowing the game to place its creatures in real-world locations that the user would encounter.

In order to eliminate the previously discussed privacy concern completely, users of the PokémonGo game are advised to logout of their Google account and download the updated version of the app. After downloading the newer version of the app, users are encouraged to go into their Google account’s ‘Privacy and Security’ settings and check their ‘Connected Apps and Sites’ to ensure that the app no longer has full access to the account.

PSafe Total can enhance a user’s security even further with its anti-virus software that combats attacks on the user’s Android device by malicious online threats.

Everyone, everywhere, has at least heard of Pokemon Go — even if they haven’t played it. For all the hubbub, it may surprise you to learn that it isn’t the only augmented reality app on the market. For other forms of AR gaming fun, check out some of these other Android apps below.

Ingress

Although you may not be familiar with the Ingress app, you have likely heard of the company behind it — Niantic — which also developed Pokemon GO. Ingress draws you into a galactic global struggle, between the “Resistance” and the “Enlightened”. You choose sides, surveil your neighborhood, use your phone’s GPS to track down energy sources, and work with your team to either embrace the force or struggle against it. The choice is yours.

Space 4D+

See space like you have never seen it before. With Space 4D+, users can scan and print space cards, allowing planets to appear in your very own home. Layering on facts and figures about the solar system, space missions, and satellites, this app offers a unique educational angle that makes it stand apart from the current crop of AR gaming offerings — both kids and adults will likely enjoy going into orbit with this one.

TableZombies Augmented Reality

Looking for a more grown up game? Then join the fight against the Zombie Apocalypse.  TableZombies AR places you in a chopper, hovering above a building where survivors are trapped. Using your phone camera as a marker, you kill zombies in the crosshair, collect special items — and maybe even save the day in the process.   

SpecTreck Light

Virtual ghosts are out there. Find and catch them floating around your neighborhood using your camera’s GPS. The interface for this game couldn’t be easier. Simply hold your phone as though it were a map in radar mode, then flip it up to hunt for ghosts via your camera viewfinder. Set the radius you want to explore, and then go roam.

Gaming has come a long way since Pong. Take advantage of the latest technology and enjoy some of these cool new Android apps. Winning, though, requires energy. So make sure your battery is fully charged by installing PowerPRO, and keep your competitive edge.

PokémonGO is a popular mobile augmented reality game, available for Android and iPhone users, that was released in select countries in July of this year. Unfortunately, Brazil was not one of the countries in which PokémonGO was initially released, much to the dismay of the Olympic athletes.

BOTAO_EN_MAKEGAMESRUNFASTER
It was anticipated by many that the game would be available in Rio before the Olympics; however, this prediction had not come to fruition until August 3, when the game was finally released in Brazil. On Wednesday, PokémonGO reported on its Facebook page that the game was finally available for fans and visitors in Rio as well as the Olympians.

The Allure of PokémonGO

PokémonGO is a game that merges the real world and the virtual world and allows the player to explore their surroundings while searching for Pokémon. One aspect of the game that may appeal to Olympic athletes is that the player acts as a trainer of Pokémon. Unlike other mobile games, it encourages players to get out and be active while playing it. The game is free to play; although, it does contain some in-app purchases.

Olympic Athlete’s Initial Disappointment

When they arrived in Brazil, many Olympic athletes thought they could have fun exploring the Olympic Village while seeking out Pokémon. If only the new game had made it to Brazil in time for the summer games. Many Olympic athletes expressed their disappointment over the fact that they could not get the game at Olympic Park. Some athletes, however, had stated that the lack of PokémonGO freed up more time for training.

BOTAO_EN_MAKEGAMESRUNFASTER
The disappointment of athletes and others about the lack of PokémonGO in Brazil ended on Wednesday August 3. The game had made it to Brazil just in time for the opening ceremonies on August 5. Now, athletes can use this popular mobile game to help commemorate their experiences at the Olympic games by capturing and training Pokémon to be high quality virtual athletes.

Her Story is an interactive, mystery movie videogame that centers around live video footage taken from a police database. While programmers say that the app is pretty simple, many find it to be a very high-quality game. Directed by Sam Barlow, it stars Viva Seifert, actress and member of the band Joe Gideon and the Shark. In the game, a woman is being interviewed by the police about the disappearance of her husband. Players sit at a police computer terminal and type in search queries; these queries pull up clips of statements that the woman has made to police that pertain to the search query that was typed.

How to Get Started

To play, just download Her Story to your Android device. The app is compatible with version 4.4 and is available on Google Play for just $2.99. This is a rather small fee when you consider the fact that the game is critically acclaimed. It has won a number of awards for its engaging and stellar true crime documentary game experience. The game is rated for mature audiences and requires 1.0G of available memory to install and play.

Tired of the Pokemon GO craze? Do you need to recover from your wrestling match with your neighbor over the legendary Pokemon across the street? Luckily, there are several alternatives that will allow you to play a game that won’t flood your newsfeed on social media.

Hungry Shark Evolution

Move your way up the food chain with one of the ocean’s deadliest creatures in Hungry Shark Evolution. Similar to Feeding Frenzy, the player starts out as a small sea critter and eats their way up the food chain. While you start out a small shark in a large ocean, the tables quickly turn as you consume multitudes of prey and grow into one of the fiercest predators in the ocean. Progressing through the game grants you access to bigger and faster sharks, including a Great White Shark.

Your favorite hedgehog is back and faster than ever in this Sega classic. Similar to Temple Run, the objective of this game is to run as far as possible without getting caught by your enemies. The more consecutive days you play, the better your rewards get from your daily challenges. You also get fun challenges that you can complete for rewards that will help you in the game.

Stupid Zombies

Not only are these zombies stupid, they’re non aggressive and don’t even move. But, they’re zombies, so I guess it’s cool to kill them. In this game, you stand still as a shooter and you are given a certain amount of bullets for each round. Strategically ricochet your bullets off the walls to strike the zombies. You can also use boxes and explosives to help aid your massacre of the undead.

Ant Smasher

It’s ant season again. The most annoying insects on the planet are back to invade your kitchen. Get revenge on those savages with Ant Smasher. Crush the army of ants with your finger as they attempt to cross the screen. Allowing an ant to pass makes you lose a life. Also, smashing a bee stings you, resulting in the end of the game.

Pac-Man

For the gaming purist. 36 years later, Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde still have it in for poor old Pac-Man. Nothing has changed — scurry around that awkward maze while the four ghosts attempt to ambush you. This app has newer maps with unique themes and colors that weren’t included in the arcade game. You can also join tournaments with other players who have the app.

Keepie Uppie, a highly addictive soccer ball game, can be played on Facebook Messenger. It is also a hidden game that many people may not be aware exists or how to get to it. Though, this does not mean that the game is difficult to access or play. To begin, it’s as simple as sending the soccer ball emoji.

How to Play Keepie Uppie on Facebook

The first thing that you need to do to be able to access the Keepie Uppie game is to make sure that your device is up to date with the latest version of Facebook Messenger. Next, you need to start a chat with one of your contacts with whom you would like to play Keepie Uppie. Send this person the emoji of a soccer ball. After sending the emoji, tap on the emoji which is still present on your device.

Facebook Messenger then allows the Keepie Uppie game to be played and keeps track of the high score for the players. Simply tapping on the ball keeps it in the air. Although the game doesn’t seem to be extremely challenging, don’t expect to rack up a high score too easily. Most players do not achieve a high score that is much above 10.

Furthermore, there is a hidden football Easter egg game available on the site as well. You can also access a hidden chess game by typing “@fbchess” — a nice game board filled with chess pieces appears and pieces can be moved around rather easily by typing in the first letter of the piece that you want to move.
