Hasta La Gadget!

When Chair announced the first Infinity Blade game, safe to say that many gamers were amazed with the graphics of the game, especially given the fact that it was designed for mobile phones in mind. With every new release of an Infinity Blade game, the graphics and the gameplay got a little better.

However it looks like the Infinity Blade universe could soon be coming to an end. Chair has recently announced to Pocket Gamer that they will be issuing a new update to Infinity Blade III called Kingdom Come. The update will be arriving on the 4th of September and will introduce a new environment, new items, and so on.

According to Char, “The update delivers a stunning new environment, dozens of new items and weapons, and new enemies to defeat, including a fierce new dragon.” Unfortunately it seems that the Kingdom Come update will be the last update that Chair has planned for Infinity Blade III, thus effectively putting an end to the series.

In some way it is a bit sad to see the franchise come to an end, although we have to wonder what Chair could have planned for mobile games in the future. That being said, to mark the end of the franchise, Chair has put together a video which they believe contains the best moments from the various Infinity Blade titles, so check it out if you have a couple of minutes to spare!

While cardboard might not necessarily be the most hi-tech material available at the moment, it has a lot of use, such as building boxes, and in some instances forming the frame of a virtual reality headset which is what Google debuted a couple of months ago. Perhaps Microsoft is taking a page from Google’s playbook because it seems that over in Australia, Microsoft has started sending out cardboard versions of the Surface Pro 3 in an attempt at marketing the device to various schools in the country.

According to a report from The Verge, it seems that the cardboard version of the Surface Pro 3 is actually functional. Granted it probably won’t let you type up documents, watch movies, or surf the web, but it does come with functional electronic components. For example it has a working display which lights up to highlight some of the hardware specs of the actual Surface Pro 3 tablet.

It even comes with a mini USB port which is used to charge the mini display, thus turning it from an art class project to a novel use of technology. Now this isn’t the first time that companies have used similar marketing tactics to draw attention to themselves. For example Motorola launched an offline Moto Maker in Wired’s magazine, and Entertainment Weekly actually had an Android phone embedded in the pages of their magazine.

Either way it’s a pretty clever marketing stunt by Microsoft and we have to wonder if Microsoft will be taking that idea to other parts of the world, or if this marketing tactic is limited to Australia.

The Fever Smart, though oddly named, is a wearable smart thermometer that continuously monitors one’s body temperature, sending an alert to a paired mobile device if the temperature goes too high. The device is the … Continue reading

Exploring a new city can be a little daunting especially if the city you’re visiting does not speak your language. This means that more often than not you could end up lost. Well the good news for visitors and tourists to Tokyo, Japan is that Google has recently installed a gigantic display outside of the Shibuya station.

The display will measure a whopping 138-inches big and basically displays a huge Google Maps where people can use it to find their way around. It also comes with a small stand, which you can see in the image above, that comes with a microphone attached to it. Using the microphone, users will be able to input voice commands into the map to help them look for locations and places of interest.

The interface provided by Google will be pretty familiar to those who have used Google Maps or Google Now as they appear to be more or less the same, just bigger. However according to the folks at Engadget, it seems that the microphone has a pretty hard time trying to listen to what you’re saying thanks to the huge crowd that typically gathers around Shibuya.

However if you’re in the area and don’t mind taking it for a spin, you should probably go check it out as this is only a temporary installation by Google. Pretty cool, huh?
