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.

Scared of running that data bill through the roof? We are too. That’s why we found the best free games to play that do not require any wifi or data roaming charges. Should you find yourself with your phone stranded on a desert island or a subway, we’ve got you covered while you pass the time.

4 Pics 1 Word

The gist of the game is simple; the app displays four pictures and you have to guess what they all have in common. As you guess correctly, levels are unlocked and new puzzles are available for the mastering. Even better, there is no registration and no complicated rules. There are already 150,000,000 people playing this game, and it’s easy to see why.

Duet

Enjoy gaming on your morning commute to work or school? Duet is perfect for you. The player controls a blue and red ball, and the point is to avoid traffic collisions. Sounds easy right. There’s a catch. The blue and red ball are in synch, so by moving one you also move the other. One collision, and the game is over. In addition, all this game needs is one hand so perfect for when you’re walking to work and holding that iced coffee.

Plague

Contagion movie lovers, look no further. We guarantee Plague will be your new favorite game. Your purpose: to infect the world and destroy humanity. How? You are given a pathogen and must navigate spreading it while all nations deploy the greatest resources to become immune. Scarily realistic, you’ll be hooked in no time.

Doodle Jump

The instructions are easy: your character in the game will continuously jump as you tilt your screen to move left and right, and will shoot at targets in the game when you tap your screen. As you advance higher and higher in level, you will see the scores of other players you surpass. Your Doodle Jump comes equipped with many different worlds like Ninja, Space, Jungle, Soccer and Underwater. This game has been labeled “Dangerously Addictive”, and has been featured in Big Bang Theory, Parks & Rec and Jimmy Fallon. Considered yourself warned.

With these four games you’ll never fear that 6 hour plane ride again. Remember to download PSafe Total to get more space on your phone for all your gaming apps!

<![CDATA[3 Potential Problems with Pokémon Go]]> https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/3-potential-problems-pokemon-go/ Mon, 18 Jul 2016 18:05:41 +0000 https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=2220 Pokémon Go has taken over the world in less than a week. But don’t let your virtual reality fun this summer be ruined by the threats plaguing the software

Let’s get this out of the way first: Pokémon Go is fun. There’s no denying this. You can find colorful, digital creatures of all shapes and sizes in your background, your office, your shower and around your city. You can’t even go outside without crossing at least one person playing the game. But, like so many uber-popular apps, Pokémon Go has its problems—both in the real world and the virtual world. Here, we’ll cover three threats Pokémon Go users should address so you can stop worrying and focus on catching ‘em all:

1. Real-World Crimes

Pokémon Go encourages players to visit so-called Poké Stops in the real world where they can grab useful items for gameplay. Unfortunately, some nefarious players have used these pinned locations in the United States to rob unsuspecting players at gunpoint. There’s no problem in enjoying this nostalgia-filled throwback to your childhood, but keep the adult in you aware of your surroundings and alert when you’re exploring.

Only go where you know you won’t be alone (such as a popular park), avoid Poke Stops that make you feel uncomfortable or are found in unfamiliar places, and avoid trespassing on other people’s property. As game creator, Niantic Labs, says: “We encourage all people playing Pokémon GO to be aware of their surroundings and to play with friends when going to new or unfamiliar places.”

2. Pervasive Personal Data

To play the game, users have to share their locations and personal data with the app. The game’s creator reserves the right to do with that information whatever they see fit—they can even share it with third parties if they see the need. In fact, within the first week of its release, some users reported the game having full access to information on the Google accounts used to sign in – a bug that has since been fixed.

While this in itself isn’t cause for alarm, and it isn’t entirely uncommon for apps like Pokémon Go to collect user data, it helps to be careful. This particular app’s massive popularity might mean that you’ll need to take extra precautions when giving out permissions to collect personal info – such as using a burner email address specifically for playing the game.

3. Crafty Malware

Malware creators started targeting Pokémon Go almost immediately after it first was released. A remote access tool called “DroidJack” that allowed hackers to take over players’ phones was detected early on in an online file storage service. Although that particular piece of malware hasn’t been reported to have invaded users’ phones yet, it likely will be only one of many created with the intention of duping Pokemon players.

Hackers have also created plenty of ingenious schemes, posting messages on blogs about ways generate unlimited Pokécoins. Remember, if you read about anything online that seems too good to be true, it usually is.

With such a high-stakes and fast-paced game play, the last you want to be doing when playing Pokémon Go is worrying about your virtual safety. Focus on capturing that elusive Abra or hatching a Snorlax by installing PSafe Total. The free software protects your phone from threats of viruses, malware, and malicious attacks, while also boosting the speed of your Internet.
