The Walking Dead: No Man’s Land biting into the Play Store on October 29th
Nobody said a zombie apocalypse would be fair, but we are still upset that The Walking Dead: No Man’s Land hit iOS before coming to Android, a couple weeks ago. Like zombies, we have been starving for our own piece of the action since then, but the wait is soon to be over.
We have just received word that The Walking Dead: No Man’s Land is hitting the Google Play Store come October 29th (next Thursday). The game is free to download from the Apple App Store, so we can assume Android users will get the same kind of love.
For those who have been hiding away in some dark warehouse, The Walking Dead: No Man’s Land is an official title Next Games and AMC worked on to bring a different experience to mobile gamers. It’s nothing like the Telltale series, so be prepared for a different approach. In fact, this title offers turn-based combat and character progression, making it more similar to an RPG.

The goal is to survive and build your own safe haven after escaping from Terminus. Players have access to 6 classes and plenty of characters to choose from. Like in the show, each of them will have unique abilities and skills, which will truly engulf you into the idea of making the right choices to stay alive.
To make matters even better, the game is guided and voiced by Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), one of the most popular fan favorites of the acclaimed zombie-packed TV series. And there will also be exclusive content you haven’t encountered elsewhere.
“Guided by fan-favorite character Daryl Dixon, voiced in-game by TV show actor Norman Reedus, The Walking Dead: No Man’s Land delivers gripping turn-based combat, engaging character progression, and exclusive content from season six of “The Walking Dead.” Beginning with an escape from the grim Terminus train yard, players must fight walkers and build up their own safe haven to survive. The game features six classes and multiple unique characters, each with different abilities and strengths.”
Interested? I know I am. I am not a huge fan of the fast-paced The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct, but I would also like it if the Telltale games had a bit more of a kick to keep us on our toes. I believe No Man’s Land is something in between both worlds; a balance that just might keep you walking… alive.
Be ready for next Thursday. Who’s downloading?
Asus Chairman says Asus and Google are working on “a lot of projects together”
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
While the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P were undoubtedly the main course at Google‘s announcement event last month, the release of Google’s own Android tablet, the Pixel C, raised a lot of questions for avid Android fans – Why is Google making their own Android tablets? Does that mean we won’t see anymore Nexus tablets? Thanks to an interview Asus Chairman and former CEO, Jonney Shih, we may have a better idea of whether Asus will be the one making a new Nexus device. During the interview, Shih says:
“Actually, we have a lot of projects ongoing. Please just stay tuned, you know, stay tuned.”
“I think we do have quite a good development partnership with Google”.”I think we do have quite a good development partnership with Google. We are still doing a lot of projects with them together.”
While Shih could be talking about a new Nexus 7 (as reported by several media outlets), we should also remember that Asus also makes the Nexus Player which was also not refreshed this year – though I think it’s obvious which one we’re hoping Shih is referring to. Specifically talking about Asus’ previous Nexus tablets, Shih also added:
“So for the [first-generation] Nexus, I think that both parties feel that this will be an exciting product, with this kind of…price and this kind of functionality and quality. Even [the second-generation Nexus 7], we moved to the Full HD screen, and we still believe in this kind of beauty. It still makes sense. But then the next one actually takes a lot of discussion.”
It’s all very cryptic, and we likely won’t hear more about it for a few more months, but at the very least it seems Asus and Google are maintaining their working relationship for the foreseeable future.

Inventor makes a real-world ‘Assassin’s Creed’ rope launcher
One of the centerpieces of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is Jacob Frye’s wrist-mounted rope launcher — he can scale buildings like a Victorian-era Batman. But would such a thing be possible in real life? If you ask Colin Furze, the answer is yes… sort of. As part of a promo for Ubisoft, the inventor built a real rope launcher gauntlet that uses a carbon dioxide canister to propel the line, and a motorized winch to hoist you up. You wouldn’t want to use it for any daring escapes: it’s bulky, slow, and needs a harness to support your weight. However, the very fact that it works at all is impressive. If you ever need to fight Templars (or just want to climb walls with ease), you’ll want to ask Furze for some pointers.

Apple Music for Android is coming, according to leaked screenshots
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
Apple has never really bothered with porting iOS apps over to the Android platform – iTunes, amirite? However, times are changing, and despite Apple having the revenue lead on Android as a whole, the music streaming business is a completely different kettle of fish. Apple’s offering in this space, Apple Music, is still in early days, but has to compete with the well entrenched communities of Pandora, Spotify, and even Google Music. So it’s no surprise that Apple is looking at making Apple Music for Android, and that’s been alluded to in a number of leaked screenshots this week.
There doesn’t appear to be too much of a different between this version of Apple Music and the iOS version (not that we’d know what to look for), but you will notice the welcome presence of the Material Design hamburger in the top left and accompanying slide menu which suggests that Apple – or whoever they pawned off the porting job to – has made an effort to make Apple Music for Android at least look like an Android app in 2015. We have no idea when this will be made available, but chances are given that the app in these screenshots looks pretty advanced, we may be seeing Apple Music for Android sooner rather than later.

Motorola DROID Turbo 2 and Maxx 2 press renders leak out ahead of official unveiling
Motorola plans to unveil the Verizon-exclusive DROID Turbo 2 and DROID Maxx 2 on October 27th, and so far both devices have been leaked quite a bit. In case the previous teasers weren’t enough to tide you over, @evleaks, the popular smartphone leaker, has just posted what appears to be numerous press renders of both new DROIDs.
Taking a look at the image below, we can see that, while there are a few minute differences between the two devices, both smartphones look very similar to one another. They both feature front-facing speakers, a small strip of metal that houses the camera module on the back, as well as the iconic DROID branding on the bottom of the device. When it comes to the DROID Turbo 2 press renders, though, note the big Verizon logo below the screen.

Canada’s WIND Mobile will sell the BlackBerry Priv
Another carrier in Canada, where BlackBerry is headquartered, has announced that the new Priv will be sold online and through its retail stores at a later date.
WIND Mobile, Canada’s fourth largest carrier, launched a product listing on its site indicating that BlackBerry’s Priv is “coming soon.” This carrier joins Rogers and Telus as those in BlackBerry’s home country planning to offer its very important piece of hardware to customers. And BlackBerry needs all the carrier support it can get if the company wants to remain in the hardware business in the future. BlackBerry is banking on its physical keyboard and top-of-the-line security to attract buyers.
The Priv costs CA$899 in Canada, but WIND Mobile doesn’t have the price labeled there at this time.
This is right on the heels of BlackBerry accepting pre-orders for the Priv in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.

‘Batman: Arkham Knight’ returns to PC on October 28th
Months after Warner Bros. yanked the PC port of Batman: Arkham Knight to tackle its many launch day glitches, it’s ready for take two. The publisher has announced that Rocksteady’s game will return to Steam on October 28th at 10AM Pacific, or 1PM Eastern. The re-launch will also include a patch that brings PC players up to speed on features that are available on all console versions (such as Photo Mode and the Arkham Asylum skin), and anyone with a Season Pass will catch up on downloadable content. It’s too soon to say if this will be the Batman game you were expecting this spring, but it should be much closer to the intended vision.

Samsung ON5 and ON7 renders have arrived
Samsung continues to offer a wide range of Galaxy phones outside of its traditional Galaxy S and Note line. More and more leaks have appeared online of it’s upcoming On5 and ON7 mid-range smartphones heading to India and possibly other markets. Now, we have official press renders of the phones from all angles.
The images show the smartphones in white and gold color options, with a very similar Galaxy design we’ve all come to expect from the company. The devices look to sport aluminum sides with a plastic removable back. According to the source, hardware specifications for the phone include 720p Super AMOLED screens and powered by the Exynos 3475 quad-core SoC running at 1.2GHz along with 1.5GB of RAM. One of the main differences is the screen size, with the ON5 offering a 5 inch screen and the ON7 offering a 5.5 inch size.
The backside of the ON7 will sport a 13-megapixel camera and a 5-megapixel camera on the front, and the smaller ON5 sporting an 8-megapixel primary shooter instead. To power the phones, the source states a hefty 3,000mAh battery will accompany the ON7 and a 2,600mAh battery in the ON5. Internal storage comes offers 8GB, however to please a great number of people, the devices will allow for expandable storage via micro-SD slot inside the phone.
The two devices will run Android 5.1.1 with TouchWiz on top. Exact release dates and pricing are not yet known, or if this device will be available internationally.

OSIRIS-REx is complete and will collect asteroid samples in 2016
It seems like only yesterday that OSIRIS-REx got its first scientific instrument: a thermal emission spectrometer that can take the temp of an asteroid called Bennu every two seconds. Now, Lockheed Martin is done building the spacecraft, and NASA’s slated to send it off to space in 2016 to collect samples from the near-Earth asteroid. Before it blasts off, though, the probe will undergo more rigorous testing as a whole spacecraft within the next five months. That includes subjecting it to extreme temps, vibrations, electromagnetic interference and vacuum that simulate space travel.
