Six-Guns by Gameloft now available for free in Google Play Store

Gameloft has been doing phenomenal work lately in the mobile gaming industry with hits like Brothers in Arms 2, and their latest iOS port to Android is no exception. Six-Guns is a beautiful throw back to the Neversoft/Activision western title “Gun” and the more recent “Red Dead Redemption” by Rockstar Games. I have always wanted to live back in the old west and this game doesn’t leave out any of the good stuff. From skinning animals to sell their hides, robbing Indians and classic bar fights, this game has it all without dipping into your wallet. As is the standard with most graphic heavy games, Six-Guns does have an additional 396 MB download within the app so prepare for a short wait. I guess you can polish your six shooter in the meantime. Check out the video below for some awesome video shots, no pun intended. If the cinema meets your approval, you can hit up the link to download it for free from the Play Store.

Rumor: Google Nexus Tablet gets a refresh on its spec sheet

If you are among the many Android users who are patiently holding off on buying a tablet now, yet anxiously waiting for the latest on the Google “Nexus Tablet”, then here is a juicy piece of rumor. An anonymous source has come forward and stated that the “Nexus Tablet” is indeed on its way and that there have been some modifications to the previously purported spec sheet. According to the undercover source, not only is Asus manufacturing the “Nexus Tablet”, but they have decided to scrap their plans for the upcoming Asus MeMo 370T that was previewed at CES 2012, in place for the shiny new Nexus. If you remember from our previous article on the MeMo 370T, it was reported to have Ice Cream Sandwich, the new Tegra 3 quad-core CPU, to sell at an incredible price point of $250, and to be the first 7-inch tab with an IPS display. The source goes on to say that the price will now drop to $149, the Tegra 3 is no longer in the picture and only the 7 inch display is a definite go at this point in time. Perhaps Asus and Google decided to use the basic blueprints of the MeMo 370T and install cheaper hardware to allow for lower, more competitive pricing. With the Kindle Fire still selling well at $199, I can understand the motivation. Of course this is still a big fat rumor, but perhaps we will see this new tablet revealed at the CTIA Wireless show in mid-May.

Google Play Store Gets Updated With Tabbed ‘My Apps’ Section and Review Details, Snag the Update Now

The newest version of the Google Play store started to roll out last night and brings some welcomed new features. There is now a tabbed ‘My Apps’ section that shows you all the apps you have ever installed (up to 250) and an ‘All’ section that contains all the apps loaded on your device. You can also flip between multiple accounts under the All tab instead of going into your settings like in previous builds.

Another neat feature is the upgrade to the app reviews. If the Google servers can decipher what device the reviewer is using, the Play store will now reflect that in each review. You are also presented with new options in which you can display the reviews. You can see reviews from owners of your device only, or from the lasted version of the app, and you can also sort the way in which reviews are displayed, i.e. most helpful or newest reviews first. Pretty handy indeed!

This new update brings the Play store up to build 3.5.15 and should reach all devices over the next few days. If you are anxious to see what the changes look like right now then you can force the update yourself thanks to XDA member Joel Chan. No root required, just download this apk file and make sure you have ‘Unknown Sources’ checked off under the Security option in your device settings. Once downloaded, simply open the file and install but be sure to let us know what you think!
