AVG Antivirus Free Review



Antivirus seems to be a need for Android since it is now the second most popular platform for viruses after Windows. AVG Antivirus fulfills this very need. It scans your phone for viruses and is constantly updated. It has kept all my devices safe from spam, ad-ware and mal-ware. It also has an App Killer which keeps the RAM of your device free and makes for a more fluid experience. AVG has started Anti-theft which tracks down your phone via Google Maps and lets you remotely wipe your data or lock the phone in case it is stolen or lost. Such great features make it a very essential app for your phone. I would give it:

9/10

The Amazing Spider-man Review (iOS/Android)



Games like this one are usually cheap quality ports of their console iterations. But with Gameloft developing this one, it is great! The game puts the full power of Spidey in your hands. You can roam around Manhattan and punch bad dudes in their faces. All of this with CRYSTAL clear graphics. I would say that the control scheme is not bad, but I still can't get really comfortable playing it on my tablet. 



The enemies are pretty easy to defeat but the bosses can get really difficult to defeat. Manhattan is really nicely built and the lighting is top notch. I think that Gameloft has done a great job with this game. It really does push the mobile platform.It takes around 1.5 GB of free space. I would give it:


   8/10 Keep it up Gameloft! Just take up less space next time!

Draw Something Review


This review may be rather late, but is necessary. It is the game that went viral in about 2 months and was bought for $200 million by Zynga. It is a simple yet elegant idea which is really addicting. You draw stuff and some random person or your friend is asked to guess. This game goes on and both players earn coins depending on the difficulty of the word. It has a user base of 10 million. I love the game myself! But it is more like you play it for a week or so regularly and then you get bored with the same repetitive words this game spits out. So I think that this is a good game that received too much hype. Even then, it is a must have for your tablet for free! I would give it:

7/10
