The PlayStation 4 at the moment is only available in one color, which is black. That’s not a bad thing as most electronics tend to feature a black finish, meaning that it should fit in with the rest of your home theater setup.

One of the problems that might potentially hold the Nokia X from becoming one of the more popular Android phones would be its apps. Due to the fact that it runs a forked version of Android, it means that it does not have access to Google’s services, including the Play Store, unlike most other Android phones.
Well Nokia is hoping to change that by announcing a contest in which they are asking developers to submit their apps to Nokia’s app store. Each developer can only submit a maximum of 10 apps and there has to be certain criteria that needs to be filled in order for it to be counted. (more…)

Japanese RPGs are immensely fun and if you’ve played any of the Final Fantasy series, Xenoblade Chronicles, Chrono Trigger, and the likes, you know what we’re talking about. Unfortunately for the most part, these titles are typically released in Japan first and while it is possible to get them imported, chances are you will be left confused as the entire game is in Japanese.

Well that’s what a Kickstarter game by the name of Koe is hoping to do, which is to teach you the Japanese language in a game form which at the same time resembles JRPGs. (more…)
