Madfinger brings its new first-person zombie shooter UNKILLED to the Play Store
Madfinger Games, the developers behind the immensely popular Shadowgun and Dead Trigger series, have brought a new first-person zombie shooter to the Play Store. The new title is called UNKILLED, and like Dead Trigger, it’s completely over-the-top and features some killer graphics.
Here’s how the game works: you play as Joe, a member of an anti-zombie unit called WOLFPACK, which is a private military unit in New York that’s designed to track and kill zombies before the outbreak becomes global. On the surface, UNKILLED seems like any other zombie-slaying title, but since this is a Madfinger game, you can expect plenty of missions, in-game unlockables, various weapons and beautiful graphics. Specifically, there are 300 different missions in the game, a number of unique enemies and bosses, and there are even 50+ different weapons to choose from. Missions are pretty short for the most part, which will make it easy for playing on-the-go or if you’re in a time constraint.
We went hands-on with the new game at E3 2015 earlier this year, and you can see our video walkthrough below!

UNKILLED is free-to-play with various in-app purchases ranging from $4.99 to $99.99 per item. You don’t necessarily need to purchase anything if you don’t want to, but the option is there if you’re interested. This title is also compatible with external controllers. While there’s no Android TV support at the moment, Madfinger says UNKILLED will expand to set-top boxes in the future. Be sure to head to the link below if you’re interested.

The latest data from digital media analytics firm comScore shows that Apple continues to increase its lead over Samsung, LG, Motorola, HTC and other handset makers in U.S. smartphone market share, less than one week before the launch of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.
iPhones captured 44.2% market share among U.S. smartphone subscribers aged 13 and older based on a three-month average ending July 2015, an increase of 1.1 percentage points over the preceding three month average.
Samsung’s smartphone share in the U.S. dropped to 27.3% in July 2015, a decline of 1.3 percentage points over April 2015. LG, Motorola and HTC rounded off the top five smartphone makers with 8.7%, 4.9% and 3.5% smartphone market share in the U.S. respectively.
Android remained the most widely adopted smartphone platform in the U.S. with 51.4% market share based on the July 2015 data, trailed by iOS with 44.2% market share. Windows Phone, BlackBerry and Symbian accounted for 2.9%, 1.3% and 0.1% market share in the U.S. respectively.
Facebook ranked as the most popular smartphone app in the U.S. with 73.3% reach, according to comScore’s Mobile Metrix. Facebook Messenger, YouTube, Google Search, Google Play, Google Maps, Pandora Radio, Gmail, Instagram and Yahoo Stocks rounded off the top ten apps.

Movie studios going after Popcorn Time users in new lawsuit
Popcorn Time made a name for itself as the “Netflix for Torrents,” which is obviously a pretty legally ambiguous area in many countries. Needless to say, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that a new round of lawsuits is being handed out to Popcorn Time users.
The lawsuits are coming from the movie studio behind The Expendables movies, and they’re going after users that streamed Pierce Brosnan’s Survivor. The studio tracked IP addresses that downloaded or shared the movie, and they’re planning on subpoenaing ISPs for real names. Not good news for anyone on the service.
This is unique case in that the movie studio is going after individual users, not just distributors or the site itself. Technically, though, streaming movies like this is illegal in the US, so the studio will probably have a case. It’ll be interesting to see how things play out.

Apple Planning to Launch 4K 21.5-Inch iMac in Late October
Apple will announce an updated 21.5-inch iMac with a 4K display at the end of October alongside the release of OS X El Capitan, reports 9to5Mac. The new iMac will then begin shipping out to customers in early November.
A new 21.5-inch Retina iMac has been anticipated for several months, following the discovery of code in OS X El Capitan that pointed towards a 21.5-inch machine with a resolution of 4096 x 2304. That code pointed towards Broadwell chips with Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200 and AMD Radeon M380 – M395X discrete graphics, which may hint at the hardware we’ll see in the updated iMac.
Reliable KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also said in early August that the iMac line would receive a refresh this quarter, adding new processors and improved display quality that brings greater color saturation.
Apple began updating its iMac lineup last October, with the launch of the 27-inch Retina iMac. Updates across the line have been slow, however, due to Intel’s ongoing Broadwell chip delays, and the 21.5-inch iMac has not seen an update since 2013.
It is not clear if Apple will release multiple 21.5-inch iMac models during the October refresh, or which chips those machines might use. Skylake chips appropriate for the iMac are launching “later this year,” but there are a handful of Broadwell chips appropriate for various 21.5-inch iMac models.
Google launches Street View app for Android and iOS
Right off the heels of a major Google Maps update, the search giant today has launched a new Street View application for Android and iOS, allowing users to tour locations with 360-degree imagery.
The new Street View app will allow users to see “collections and content” from Google Maps all around the world, in addition to photospheres contributed from users.
User contribution plays a big part in this new application from Google, as Street View allows you to take photospheres of your favorite locations with your Android or iOS device. You can even connect up to a spherical camera like the NCTech iris360, Google says.
Street View will replace the Photo Sphere Camera application for iPhones along with Street View from Google Maps on Android. Those interested in taking it for a spin can hit the download link below.

Samsung Gear S2 will work with almost any Android device
With IFA 2015 still happening, it seems that the majority of the major announcements have died down. Now the manufacturers are filling in the holes such as pricing and availability, compatibility, and other questions that may pop up about these new devices.
Speaking of developing information, Samsung is starting to reveal a bit more about the Gear S2. The first bit of news is pretty surprising and awesome at the same time. Those who were intrigued by Samsung’s previous wearable devices, were stuck without, unless they already owned a compatible Samsung device. With the release of the Gear S2, Android users across the board will be able to jump on the Gear S2 bus.
This compatibility breakthrough for Samsung doesn’t come without a cost. The Gear S2 will ONLY be compatible with devices running Android KitKat 4.4 or higher, and your device MUST have at least 1.5 GB of RAM. Sorry if you’re on one of those older devices still, but maybe it’s time to look into the plethora of new devices and upgrade.
Let us know whether this development from Samsung will influence your decision for purchasing your next smartwatch.

Samsung Pay will come to the Gear S2 this November
In addition to cross-manufacturer compatibility, Samsung announced that Samsung Pay will be coming to the Gear S2 sometime in November. This will be possible due to the fact that there will be a Gear S2-specific application built into the smartwatch for easy use.
In order to keep your Gear S2 from being used for malicious purposes, Samsung has a two-step verification process built-in.
- The watch continuously monitors your heart rate, so if you haven’t taken the watch off since the last time you authorized it for payments it’ll be painless to walk up to a PoS terminal and pay.
- If the watch was removed from your wrist since the last time you made a payment, it will ask for a personalized PIN that you set up to authorize the next payment, and won’t ask again until the next time you take the watch off.
Finally, you will be able to use the Gear S2 with 3G capabilities with Samsung Pay even if your Gear S2 isn’t connected to your device. These are some awesome updates coming out of Samsung that aren’t even all the way related to Samsung phones.
Let us know what you think about these features of the Gear S2 in the comments down below. Will you be picking one of these up once they are ready for purchase?
