TellMe is a mobile local search service, much like Google Local Search. The key differentiating factor is that, unlike the very boring and annoying typing text messages or search queries, TellMe goes Java [...]


Battlestar Galactica

Although I like SF books and films (please, someone, I’d really want to play a Dune mobile game, please ), I never managed to watch a full episode of Battlestar Galactica, so I failed to become a fan (as plenty of my friends are). That’s probably one of the reasons I wasn’t impressed by the [...]

All [...]

Ancient Empires II – Mobile

You get five points if you can name the game that seduced me this weekend, to the point where several hours of my life just vanished and all I can remember from the weekend is that archers, when attacking from a distance or diagonally, won’t get a retaliate. What? You already guessed the name? Oh… [...]
