The Room: Old Sins Released Early, Available on Google Play for $5
The latest addition to The Room series, The Room: Old Sins, is available one day early for Android. Priced at $4.99, Old Sins features what the game’s developers call the Ultimate Puzzle Box. Simply, it’s a “deviously” complex dollhouse that transforms into portals that opens new environments within the game. Within these environments, you’ll find countless puzzles to drive you mad. Coupled with cloud saves and what I hear is a fantastic soundtrack, this should be one of the best titles in The Room series. Out of nearly the 300 reviews it has garnered so far on Google Play, it has a nearly perfect 5 star rating, so that’s saying something. Go get it! Google Play Link ($4.99) Cheers Craig! … [Read more...] about The Room: Old Sins Released Early, Available on Google Play for $5
Google’s Pixel Visual Core Just got an Update Through Google Play
Google’s Pixel Visual Core just got an update today through Google Play to v1.0.185741828. There isn’t a changelog for the update, so we don’t know what Google tweaked here. However, this app (or service) “updates image processing and machine learning algorithms on Pixel 2 phones,” so I’d assume any update means Google has done some tweaking. Just this month, Google turned on the Pixel Visual Core for all 3rd party apps that want to take advantage of its processing power and HDR+ skills. It could be that this update improves that experience for other camera apps. The update should be live on your Pixel 2 phone right now. Google Play Link Cheers Kevin! … [Read more...] about Google’s Pixel Visual Core Just got an Update Through Google Play
