2. The Bowling Dead

Activision kembali beraksi dengan mengeluarkan sebuah game baru. Sebuah game yang mungkin membuat kamu berpikir, kenapa developer sekelas Activision membuat tema game seperti ini :D. The Bowling Dead seperti judulnya adalah game dimana kamu akan bermain bowling dengan target utama = zombie. Dan sudah bisa ditebak, Bola Bowlingnya menggunakan bahan khusus yang tak lain adalah bomb.

8. Team Awesome

Semuanya terlihat biasa saja sampai suatu saat meteor datang dan berubah menjadi awesome! Side Scrolling arcade game ini menawarkan sesuatu yang unik. Pahlawan super yang terbang berperang melawan musuh mungkin sudah biasa, tetapi lingkungan 3D dengan kontrol hanya menggunakan 1 tap saja disertai cinematic kamera membuatnya luar biasa.

9. Zen Shape: The Way of Brush

Mungkin kamu sendiri sudah cukup bosan dengan berbagai tipe game puzzle yang ada di pasaran. Tetapi kamu harus melihat game yang satu ini dari Dreamfab. Game ini menggunakan huruf kaligrafi China sebagai objek yang harus disusun dengan menggunakan sentuhan jari kamu.

10. Tower and Dungeon

Masih belum bosan melihat list ini kan? Saya janji ini adalah list terakhir. Tower & Dungeon adalah sebuah game yang mirip seperti Tiny Tower dimana kamu harus membangun tower sampai keatas langit. Semoga IAP di game gratis ini tidak merusak citra rasa dalam bermain.

BlackBerry Z10

The BlackBerry Z10 is a thoroughly modern smartphone with a thoroughly modern mobile OS. Built well from high-quality materials, it has an strong focus on messaging. It offers better video support than Windows Phone 8, better messaging than Android, and more elegant graphics than Apple's iOS.
Somehow, though, it doesn't all quite come together as a compelling consumer alternative to market leaders like the Apple iPhone 5, HTC One, and the Samsung Galaxy S4. As just another nice black slab, the Z10's physical design is so understated that it tends to fade into the background, and while the OS has plenty of interesting ideas, it can't overcome how far behind it is in terms of third-party app support. I'd have been more profoundly moved if the first BlackBerry 10 phone was the BlackBerry Q10, with one of the spectacular hardware keyboards BlackBerry is famous for. There are no flagship smartphones with full QWERTY keyboards any more, despite the fact that physical keys are still much easier to type on than virtual ones.

Hardware and Keyboard
The BlackBerry Z10 is a medium size, rounded black slab. Although it's a high-quality build all around, it's got a generic look. The phone is mostly very high-quality plastic with a rubbery finish on the back and smooth black polycarbonate bumpers on the top and bottom. At 5.1 by 2.6 by .35 inches (HWD) and 4.8 ounces, it fits right into the middle of popular smartphone sizes, just a bit bigger than the iPhone 5. I found it very comfortable to use in one hand.

 As with most slab-style phones, the front is dominated by the 4.2-inch 1,280-by-768 LCD. At 356 pixels per inch, the display is higher density than both the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S III$189.99 at Amazon Wireless, although it isn't the tightest screen around. (That's the HTC Droid DNA at 443 ppi.) There's a Power button on the top, volume rockers with a hardware Mute button on one side, and micro USB and micro HDMI ports on the other. Turn on the Z10 on and you'll see a sharp LCD with rich blacks, but not stunning brightness.
Peel off the NFC-enabled back panel to find a long, narrow 1800mAh battery and a microSD card slot that supports up to 64GB cards without a problem. The 8-megapixel camera lens sits on the back left corner.
BlackBerry is very proud of its software keyboard, calling it the best in the business. The innovation here is to space the four rows of keys further apart vertically than typical for more accurate typing, along with a very aggressive autocorrect system that learns from your common word sequences. Possible autocorrects and shortcuts float above individual keys as you type. The keyboard takes up less screen real estate than Windows Phone and some Android keyboards, and the keys are nice and wide. I found it more accurate than the iOS and Windows Phone keyboards over long-term use. But make no mistake, it's still a software keyboard, and longtime BlackBerry fans will miss their clicky, tactile buttons.

Create a Serene Fantasy Photo Manipulation

Tutorial Assets

The following assets were used during the production of this tutorial.


Step 1 – Preparing the Upper Part of the Background

Create a new file in Photoshop. Set the dimensions on 600px (wide) and 900px (height). Download the picture of the background and drag it into the just created file. Name this new layer e.g. UPPER BACKGROUND. To set the proper size of this layer press Command/Ctrl + T on your keyboard (or go to Edit > Free Transform) and resize it on proper size. Hold Shift while doing it to remain the same proportions. To apply changes press Enter on your keyboard.
Place the layer UPPER BACKGROUND to the upper part of the image.

I like the overall serene atmosphere of the stock photo. It has an enigmatic, foggy mood which I find to be especially attractive. But I also like drama in my images. To bring some drama here you’ll create higher mountains on the left and right side.
Grab the Lasso Tool (L) and select the right part of the rocks. Press Command/Ctrl + C to copy this selection and then Command/Ctrl + V to paste it. Name the new layer RIGHT ROCKS and place it above the original rocks. Below you can see an example of what I mean.



As you can see it looks very unrealistic right now. To make it better looking you need to blend it with the rest of the image.
You could do it with the Eraser Tool (E) but I have a better idea for you – using layer mask. When using the Eraser Tool (E) the erased parts are lost for good and it’s very hard to reappear them if you realize you want to do something differently. If you work with layer masks the parts are just hidden (not erased) and you can easily make them reappear.
The principle is simple: if you want to hide something, paint on the layer mask with black over that part, if you want to have something visible, paint over it with white.
Make sure you’re on the RIGHT ROCKS layer. Click on the button Add layer mask. You can find this button in the bottom part of the palette Layers. If you don’t see this palette press F7 on your keyboard or go to Window > Layers and it appears.



Grab the Brush Tool (B), select some soft round brush and set the Master Diameter on about 70 px. Lower the Opacity on 40% and pick black color. Make sure that the layer mask is active (just click on it) and start blending RIGHT ROCKS with the background.




 Now do the exact same process with the left part of the rocks. On the picture below you can see how your manipulation should look like after this step.

Sony Xperia Ion: The New Xperia Phone Announced

The launch of Android based gadget, the Sony Xperia Ion, was announced on Monday although a release date or price details have not yet been announced. The handset is expected to be launched in a few months, in LTE 4G network of AT&T’s. Overall, it looks to be the best Xperia brand of Sony smartphones to be launched till date. Let us have a look to some of its details.


Specifications
It has a 4.6 inch display (HDMI), 12MP camera, TV launcher interface and a sleek design. It has 1280 x 720-pixel display resolution that uses Sony Bravia Engine. However, the best part of the now Sony turned Sony Ericsson is its camera quality which is unmatched by most mobile manufacturers.


Using With a Dock
The Sony Xperia Ion can be used with a docking arrangement and thus a larger display can be obtained. The dock is extremely much similar to the Motorola Webtop experience that can be used in gadgets like Droid Razr and Droid Bionic. One can view photos, play music, and send texts from the comfort of the sofa at home. Sony also claims that the phone is capable of being controlled by a TV remote!
