Russell Holly 9 May 2019 15 We've seen "car mode" on Android change almost as often as messaging apps on Android over the last couple of years, but it seems fairly confident about this new iteration.

First Nancy Drew game in five years wants to teach us to be badass sleuths all over again

I need to find some way to escape. Is there something glinting in the mouth of the skeleton? I reach in and -- "I'm not going to tell you again to log off and go to bed. It's a school night." This is the third time my mom has told me to get off the computer, but I'm about to crack the case. Catch the culprit. Unlock secrets as old as history itself. Sure, I might be tired at school … [Read more...] about First Nancy Drew game in five years wants to teach us to be badass sleuths all over again
