Android App Pick - PAC-MAN!

We have just posted up another Android App Pick of the Week and this week we are kicking it seriously old-school with an Arcade game refresh from Namco that will take you back to the days where mainstream gaming started.  You can check this out for free, or dust off your old ATARI 2600 for some great nostalgic PAC-MAN + Tournaments.
 


Please take a look then post your thoughts, comments, questions and suggestions for next week's Android App Pick of the Week!

EA releases SimCity patch, breaks SimCity even more

EA just can't catch a break with SimCity. After the release debacle, people have finally stopped complaining (as much) about the game so EA figured it would be safe to finally release their "2.0" patch to fix a bunch of problems. Well, obviously since this made the news things didn't go well and now they've made all their customers even more angry. PCGamesN has the details of yet another EA disaster.

Just as EA and Maxis seemed ready to put launch issues to bed and march onwards with the development of their “MMO”, SimCity’s 2.0 patch has infused the game with a colourful array of shiny new bugs. Fans have taken to Reddit and official forums to decry the mess, which has left some cities literally overflowing with waste.

Facebook: Profits up, Users down

Facebook released their profits this week, and the news was good as profits went p over last year. The bad news for Facebook was that they've lost almost 10 Million US-based users, which can't be a good thing. Overall Facebook seems to be still doing good, but the gradual loss of US users can't be a good sign. The Guardian has more details.

 

Facebook has lost 10 million users in the US and seen no growth in monthly visitors in the UK over the past year, according to data from market research firm Nielsen.

Research shows that the number of unique visitors to the Facebook website from computers, smartphones and tablets has fallen from 153m in March 2012 to 142m in March this year, having peaked at 158m last August.

Zalman @ CES 2013

We stopped by Zalman today to check out some of their new products that they are showcasing at CES 2013. Two of Zalman’s new coolers this year have earned the CES Innovations awards and Zalman gave us a look at both of them.

Zalman’s first cooler they were showing is their newest water cooler, the CI Water Cooler. This water cooling setup is rated up to 400 Watts of heat which should be more than enough for any processor out there. The designed of the radiator is very similar to some of Zalmans CNPS9900 coolers which they have become famous for. This cooler is not available yet but they are targeting a late Q1 ship date.

Also being showcased was Zalman’s new fanless cooler which they are calling Cube. This monster cooler features 10 heatpipes and even has room for a 92mm fan if you want to do some overclocking but for most CPU’s you will be able to run this cooler with no fans installed for completely silent operation. Zalman is targeting a late Q1 launch date for this product.

Zalman also was showcasing their lineup of keyboards, mice, monitors, cases, LED lights, portable video projectors, GPU coolers, CPU coolers, and more at this years CES and we look forward to getting our hands on some of these products in the upcoming year.
