The Tegra 3 version of Shadowfun seems to be making waves. The difference in detail and how the water looked alone was impressive. nVidia has released a new preview via Twitter showing more of what to expect. As you will see in the video is the Tegra 3 revamped version, the graphics and detail are incredible and have been improved upon on just about every facet when it comes to the game itself. Aside from the improvements, it’s a pretty bad ass trailer to watch anyways.
Here we are with batch three of Google’s big celebration with another bunch of carefully chosen price cuts for you. Each one will be considered by many as essential software and at this price it’s probably worth snapping them all up.

Polarbit has dropped the prices of all their paid games. The most expensive ones they had are now only £1.27 while the rest of their catalog of titles are only 63p. From the sounds of it they plan to keep this sale going for all ten days that Google plans to do their sale. If you’ve been wanting some of Polarbit’s other titles, now is a great time to nab a couple for dirt cheap.
You can see all their games that they have on sale in their developer listing located here. Of course they also have a bunch of free games you can play and free versions of their paid ones to try out but for the discount they are giving right now, might as well grab the full versions right? Enjoy!

Love it or hate it, OnLive is here to stay. Undoubtedly the future of gaming that for many may be missing the target but hitting the tree has released an Android client of the platform, complete with a free game. If you have already been tempted then this might add a little more temptation especially when you realise the wireless controller is compatible. However, you might look a little silly on the commute.
Check out the full product description below:
Charbax gives us a quick demo of the Archos G9 running Android 4.0.1 Ice Cream Sandwich on the OMAP4 based tablets. This is to be finalized during Q1 of 2012. They still have to finish the hardware acceleration for video support, Samba/Upnp, 3G stick support and all of the other specific features that Archos provides on top of Android.
A £250 tablet with 100% GPU acceleration will be a very tempting option for those out there shopping for some Ice Cream Sandwich action.
This week Gareth is joined by both James and Matt. The guys address many of the issues raised over the last week in the mobile phone world and stack the show full of bargains!
Well here is some interesting and somewhat troubling news that was just pointed out to us. According to Fortune CNN, HTC could be facing a possible import ban here in the U.S. depending on the outcome of an appeal over two patents that Apple is going after HTC for.
Depending on the upcoming ruling, which will be handing down the final verdict of HTC’s appeal on Dec. 14th, HTC could end up facing an import ban of all their Android devices to the U.S. which would shrink their current market share of 25% down to 0%. This would happen right before the holidays no less when sales for mobile devices, as Christmas presents and what not, are generally at their highest.
Here’s a bit of a surprise… even though we have seen ports on several devices, the first Android 4.0/Ice Cream Sandwich tablet will not be what we expect. The first ICS tablet will be a $99 MIPS SoC enabled tablet called the NOVO7.
Instead of the usual ARM-based chipset, the NOVO7 uses the MIPS-based XBurst processor called JZ4770, from the Chinese Ingenic Semiconductor. This chip runs at 1GHz and can handle 1080p video playback and 3D games with its Vivante GC860 GPU. Supposedly, this tech is very efficient with battery power and allows for 7 hours of browsing or 6 hours of 3D gameplay.
The tablet also has a 7" capacitive touchscreen, a USB 2.0 port, microHDMI ports, a 2MP rear camera, a front-facing camera and a microSD slot.
The NOVO7 tablet passed the Google Compatibility Test Suite certification. It will run pretty much all of Google’s services and can handle thousands of apps from the Android Market.
RIM have a nice bundle of freebies for you on the App World. To make up for the outage a couple of months ago your Blackberry is about to get a little more crammed. You only have until the end of this month to get yours and there are a few that are certainly worth your attention!
