Temple Run 2 Update Increases Unlockable Features


With the Temple Run series of games still very much in action across the mobile community, Imangi Studios, the creators of the title have once again moved to increase interested in the game by offering up a new update which has seen the addition of three new unlockable characters for gamers to play with.

In a bid to keep the game fresh and still relevant to those of you that will have racked up loads of gold coins and distance over the past 6 months, Imangi have now given you something to aim for as you now try to get the chance to take on the Temple Run challenge ahead of you as Jack Wonder, a footballer themed character as well as the chance to run the gauntlet as either a different explorer which seems to come from Indiana Jones themed fame or even a conquistador!

Although the game update simply increases the playable characters that you can use, like many of the previous updates there have been a number of bug fixes that should help to make your gaming experience a little smoother than before although I am still looking to see what notes there are on the release of the update to be able to pin point anything noticeable that could have been fixed.


I’ll be sure to update you guys a little more when I have more for you.

Free Games Usage in Schools?


Believe it or not, the world of online gaming has become more of a feature within the classroom than anyone could have predicted and thanks to the sea of game developers that are battling it out to provide the very best in gaming titles that are suitable for children during school time, it seems that things such as maths and physics based games are being brought into the lesson timetable by teachers!

That’s right, no longer are lessons about having to sit and look at a whiteboard for a double period or even having to sit through mock tests, instead it seems that education has finally realised that there is a place in the market that can help students to get to grips with important lessons in both the mathematical and physics field.

With websites like GamesCroc.com offering cool math games for kids and other well known brands within the free gaming world doing the same, teachers are now seeing that there is an interactive way in which students can learn and in a way that they don’t even know that they are learning, instead they feel that they are having fun!

With the educational system constantly finding new ways to engage with children and older students it looks like the free gaming market is more than willing to offer them an alternative to text book learning as we knew it…

Do you think that we are going to see lessons and classes become more interactive through the creation of further lesson based games or will the faze die out?

Crushing Candy Has Never Been So Much Fun



Now anyone that knows me and my gaming habits will know that I am not one of those conventional gaming types of guys that gets caught up in the hype that comes with large scale mobile games but man I have slipped into the dark side with the latest title I have been playing.

Now although I hate adding free gaming apps to my iPhone, a taste of the delight that Candy Crush Saga Online had to offer later resulted in me adding the free mobile game to my phone, finding its home next to the only other title I have on there, Plants vs Zombies.

A simple yet addictive title of connect 3 or more, the concept on the game is so simple that there is no where that I would have even dreamed that I would be interested in it but after checking out just how long I have spent on it over the past few days, I am nothing short of addicted.

A sad fact but one that I am more than happy to stand by, judge me all you want but I challenge you to head to the app store and download it, play it a couple of times and then see if you want to delete it or not... 

Give me a shout if you do fancy playing it, my invite will still be free to you but will allow me to play more of the game!
