Shadowrun Returns :

Shadowrun got its start as a pen-and-paper RPG, trading in the sword-and-sorcery setting of Dungeons and Dragons for a bleak Blade Runner future... that also has swords and sorcery. This game is a mobile port of the eponymous Steam title, which aims to bring the iconic mix of cyberpunk and fantasy into a top-down, turn-based RPG. There's a fair bit of tactical play as well if you enjoy the nitty-gritty of cover and critical hits. It's pretty expensive at ten bucks, but it's a brand new game .

The hit crowdfunded RPG of the summer arrives on Android. MAN MEETS MAGIC & MACHINE. The year is 2054. Magic has returned to the world, awakening powerful creatures of myth and legend. Technology merges with flesh and consciousness. Elves, trolls, orks and dwarves walk among us, while ruthless corporations bleed the world dry. You are a shadowrunner - a mercenary living on the fringes of society, in the shadows of massive corporate arcologies, surviving day-by-day on skill and instinct alone.

Angry Birds Star Wars II Free:

It's Angry Birds. It's Star Wars. Again. This time the playing field is the prequel series, because Rovio apparently ran out of good movies pretty quickly. The one major addition to the gameplay (if you don't count all the new stages and birds) is the ability to import characters with Skylanders-style toy figurines.

The Force is strong with this one. Get ready for Angry Birds Star Wars II – the epic follow-up to the #1 smash hit game. Based on the Star Wars movie prequels, use the Force for good against the greedy Pork Federation or choose a much darker path. That’s right; for the first time ever you can “Join the Pork Side” and play as the fearsome Darth Maul, Emperor Palpatine and many other favorites.

Dead on Arrival 2:

Intense co-operative zombie survival. Tear through wave after wave of the walking dead as you fight for your life in an industrial playground filled with deadly traps and deadlier enemies. An intense top down survival shooter, bringing console quality graphics to your mobile device. Featuring a Strategic Spending System, survival is based not just on your skills but also the decisions you’ll make about how to spend the precious Z-Bucks earnt from each kill. Making the wrong decision between more ammo now or a better weapon later could mean life or death.

FINAL FANTASY V:

FINAL FANTASY V first debuted in 1992 as the fifth installment in the iconic FINAL FANTASY series. This wildly popular RPG was the first in the series to sell over two million copies. This groundbreaking title allowed players to customize their characters with an unprecedented degree of freedom thanks to a new job and ability system that further improved and refined the job change system used in FINAL FANTASY III. The title also saw the introduction of more detailed and expressive 2D character models, which helped further fuel the player's imagination, making the story even more immersive and fun to play.

Google Nexus 5 vs. Nexus 4

Display
Google and LG have decided offer a bigger display with the Nexus 5. It features a 4.95-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixel) IPS+ LCD display which boasts a pixel density of 445ppi, and comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. On the other hand, the Nexus 4 sports a 4.7-inch HD (768x1280 pixels) IPS+ LCD display with a pixel density of 320ppi, and Corning Gorilla Glass 2. We've yet to get our hands on the Nexus 5, and for now, can't take a call on which display is better for now (in terms of viewing angles, colour accuracry, brightness and contrast), with both featuring the same display technology.

Camera
The Nexus 5 sports an 8-megapixel rear camera with OIS, a new addition to Nexus smartphone line-up. It also houses a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. On the camera front, the Nexus 4 was criticised for its relative average camera performance. However, Google has now acknowledged the issue and has introduced the optical image stabilisation (OIS) feature in the Nexus 5's camera, which should ensure sharper images and video. The rest of the imaging optics appears to be the same as the Nexus 4, with the same 8-megapixel sized rear camera, and 1.3-megapixel front camera. In addition, the camera app was also updated with Android 4.4 KitKat (which will make its way to the Nexus 4), with Photo Sphere for Panorama 360 degree shots; HDR+ mode for burst shots which automatically chooses the best shot.

Hardware
The Nexus 5 is powered by top-of-the-line 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, which is coupled with the Adreno 330 GPU. Its predecessor, the Nexus 4, is powered by 1.5GHz quad-core Krait Snapdragon processor with Adreno 320 GPU.

It seems for the Nexus 5, Google and LG decided to stick with the flagship tradition and chose the Qualcomm's latest processor.

There is an upgrade in the battery department as well; the Nexus 5 comes with 2300mAh battery which the manufacturer claims can deliver up to 17 hours of talktime (3G) and a standby time of up to 300 hours (3G). Nexus 4 came with a 2100mAh battery, which was rated to deliver up to 15 hours of talktime (3G), and 390 hours of standby time (3G).

Notably, the Nexus 5 does not feature expandable storage with a microSD card slot, once again knocking the smartphone off a potential purchase list for some users - the lack of microSD card support was perhaps the biggest omission the Nexus 4 was criticized for.

Google Nexus 10 tablet listed on India Play Store at Rs. 29,999

After listing the newly launched Nexus 5 smartphone and the Nexus 7 (2013) tablet on the Indian Play Store, Google is now gearing up to introduce the Nexus 10 tablet.

The search engine giant has listed the year old, Nexus 10 tablet at Rs. 29,999 for the 16GB model on its official store. The Nexus 10 tablet's 32GB model still sports the US pricing of $499 (Rs. 30,750 approximately).

Google has not revealed its plans for the release of three Nexus devices, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 (2013) and Nexus 10, yet. However, considering that within few days, all the three Nexus devices have popped on Play Store India with pricing, it can be safely speculated that the search engine giant may unveil the three devices soon.

Top 5 Map Apps for Firefox

1: Quick Maps

Quick Maps has 4 stars out of 5 from 38 user reviews in Firefox's add-ons library. The add-on has a total of 45,048 users.

This app from Mapify adds in-page Google Map frames to website street address listings. Just hover your mouse over or highlight and right-click on the physical street address listing on a Web page within Firefox and an elegant Google Maps frame will embed on the Web page with the map and location label.

It also provides a highlight and one right-click Google search based on the address highlighted. Pretty.

2: Google Shortcuts - All Google Services at a Glance

Google Shortcuts has 4 stars out of 5 from 311 user reviews in Firefox's add-ons library. The add-on has a total of 124,912 users.

Soeren Rinne's Google Shortcuts app simply adds Google services buttons, including one for Maps, next to the address bar on the Firefox browser.

The default setting is to create multiple buttons, including ones for Maps, Gmail, the now defunct Google Reader, Calendar and so on. However, from the app's settings icon, remove the ones you don't use. Retaining the Maps button only provides a speedy one-click Google Maps launch.

 3: Bing Maps powered by Microsoft Silverlight

Bing Maps Powered by Silverlight has 5 stars out of 5 from one user review in Firefox's add-ons library. The add-on has 70 weekly downloads.

If you're a little bored with Google Maps, BillVo's Bing Maps for Silverlight may make a welcome change. This app simply adds a Bing Maps SL option in the Firefox Search dropdown next to the address bar. Choose it to generate fluid map results from an alternative provider.

Both Microsoft's Bing Maps and Google's Maps use their own, unique aerial shots, so you'll see subtle detail differences, including clarity related to lighting based on time of day and other variables.

4: Google Maps Terrain View

Google Maps Terrain View is not yet rated and has no user reviews in Firefox's add-ons library. The add-on has seven weekly downloads.

This app offers functionality similar to that delivered by our No. 3 spot, Bing Maps Powered by Silverlight, except that this is a Google Maps Terrain option for the Firefox Search dropdown.

Simply choose the option to have the search engine default to Terrain rather than Satellite or Map. It's a useful solution if you're performing multiple searches for locations for the purposes of outdoors activities in which hills are important.

 5: Locator - Locate on Google Map

Locator has 4 stars out of 5 from 32 user review in Firefox's add-ons library. The add-on has 7,672 users.

Here's an alternative to our No. 1 position Quick Maps that uses a highlight-and-right-click selection method rather than hover-over. It also produces a pop-out map in a new window rather than a map in an embedded frame.

It's a slightly less elegant solution, which is why it's in a runner-up position. At the same time, however, the new-window functionality does allow for map re-positioning on the screen and is consequently good for the screen real-estate-challenged.

5 Best Weather Apps for Google Chrome

1: Full Screen Weather

Full Screen Weather has 4 stars out of a possible 5 from 2,533 reviewers in the Chrome Web Store. The app has 952,524 users.

Without a doubt, this app offers the best-looking weather maps out there for desktop, even if it is a little peculiar to navigate.

This Wunderground crowdsourced app is simply a straight mash-up of Google Maps along with satellite or terrain detail -- and superimposed radar, satellite weather or reporting weather station data. Thousands of data sources are included, such as hobbyist stations and remote automated stations perched on mountaintops. Drill-down for super-local observations.

 2: Rain Alarm

Rain Alarm has 4 stars out of a possible 5 from 304 reviewers in the Chrome Web Store. The app has 81,331 users.

This app warns you of precipitation headed your way. Set your location and some parameters, like a search radius, and the app will alert you. You may have to adjust sensitivity and search interval, but it does usually work.

Alternatives include looking out of the window.

 3: WeatherBug

WeatherBug has 4 stars out of a possible 5 from 3,016 reviewers in the Chrome Web Store. The app has 608,449 users.

A good, solid, all-round weather extension with animated graphics. A close-by weather cam will display in the animated window if available. An additional add-on for Windows gives you severe weather alerts in your taskbar.

Detailed observations include must-haves like humidity, monthly rain and an interesting rain rate for the day. All useful stuff.

 4: Uber Weather

Uber Weather has 4 stars out of a possible 5 from six reviewers in the Chrome Web Store. The app has 3,490 users.

Here's a Google-driven weather map that includes layers like ski resorts, driving directions and traffic. It's not quite as elegant as the other apps we've included, hence its runner's-up position. Still, it is remarkably interesting to see traffic snarl-ups created by weather, and it's a tool you can use to pick alternate freeway commute routes based on rain-dumping weather cells.

 5: YoWindow Weather

YoWindow Weather has 5 stars out of a possible 5 from 4,467 reviewers in the Chrome Web Store. The app has 190,747 users.

"Quirky" would be a good one-word description for this very popular extension. Clicking on a button adjacent to the address bar creates an animated "living landscape" that reflects the weather.

Choose from weather layer-superimposed pastoral scenes, cityscapes and other scenes -- or make your own with any photo -- and the weather animates in real-time, a bit like looking out of a virtual window. A time scroll lets you project a forecast graphically. Fun, if you've got time on your hands.

Unexpected features in iOS 7

CHANGE THEME :

You cannot  actually change the theme of the new design, but   you can change the feel of your iOS 7 device to much extent that can be only through just by changing the background. Because of  changing the background the look of the lock screen, the dial pad when making a call, and the pass code screen are changed  by letting the background colors show through.  You can try different backgrounds.

CALENDER DAILY QUICK VIEW :

Now, to bring up the day's events at a glance, you need to hit the search magnifying glass at the top of the screen. It's not exactly intuitive, but I'm relieved it's still there.

Hiding Newsstand :
Newsstand is useful for finding magazines and other reading materials, and you can set up subscriptions so you get new issues of periodicals such as The Economist every week. But in previous versions of iOS, people who were not interested in reading magazines on their iPhone couldn't put Apple's Newsstand app in a folder to save home screen space. The concept behind it was that Newsstand already was a folder of items itself and you couldn't put a folder into another folder. 

Fortunately, in iOS 7, you no longer need to deal with work-arounds. Newsstand finally can be placed in a folder. It's even useful for those who use Newsstand all the time because you can drop it into a more general news folder to have a central location for all your news sources.

Quitting multiple apps
Sometimes you have to quit apps and the old method of double-tapping the home button and long-pressing the app to go into jiggle mode was kind of a tedious process. In iOS 7, you now can double-tap the home screen and flick the app preview thumbnail upward to quit. It's a bit faster, but in playing with my iPhone during the review I made another discovery.

Not only can you flick to quit an app, you also can use three fingers to quit three apps at a time with the same swiping motion. This will let you make sure apps aren't running processes in the background when you want the full power of your iOS device and it's a much faster method.

Infinite folders
In ios 6 and earlier versions, you could only have up to 16 apps in a folder. This might be OK if you don't download a lot of apps, but if you're like me, you were forced to make folders like "Games 1" and "Games 2" if you wanted to organize your home screen.

Now, in iOS 7, you can put an infinite number of apps (or until you have no more storage space on your device) into a folder so you can truly organize your home screen. iOS 7 organizes your apps into groups of nine, and you can swipe to move on to each page. This should help limit the number of home screen pages you have to navigate and make for a more organized layout.

Make iOS 7 more readable
One thing I've been hearing since the update is that people with less-than-perfect eyesight have some trouble reading the thin fonts in the new design, especially when they're in front of bright backgrounds (Calendar app, I'm looking at you). Fortunately, there's a fix.

If you have trouble reading the fonts in iOS 7, go to Settings > General > Accessibility, then touch the switch for Bold Text and also the Increase Contrast switch right below it. It will require a restart of your iPhone, but now reading should be a lot easier -- even in the Calendar app.

Using the compass as a level
The compass app is a neat tool to have on your iOS device to help you get your bearings when you're outdoors, sailing, or doing any number of other activities. But a new feature of the compass app in iOS 7 will help those who work on things around the house with a feature that acts as a level.

To keep your household handywork from coming out crooked, you can now swipe to the left on the compass, and you get a digital level tool.
