Flappy Bird Game review

The mobile gaming industry has gone to great lengths in promoting console quality gaming for the masses , Today we have Quad and Octa core processors in smartphones and tablets with many gigabytes of RAM to play the latest editions of GTA , Asphalt and Infinity blade etc ,these games bleed with graphics , usual game violence and usually end up heating your gadgets to a almost melting point , but even with this , these big title games from super-rich companies sell well even-though they cost a dollar or two ,and most of them are top hits whether it be iOS,Android (and windows phone) and in this capitalistic environment , the world of independent and "freebie" game development almost seems to be non existent , but recently (a few days ago), a simple but addictive free game has hit the top charts and is taking the world by storm , this game is none other than - Flappy Bird

Plot Gameplay and controls

This game is basic , and when i say basic there is no tutorial on how to play it , and there is no settings menu either , just a small graphic showing you the directions "Tap Tap" and once you do tap , the game starts . the plot revolves around you touching the screen to make a color changing bird fly through some green pipes (i guess the bright colors and pixelated edges remind you of Mario Bro's eh?) and this ladies and gentlemen is not a easy job if you don't have patience .Unlike other free games ,This has no "lives" and other freemium add-ons like the ones you find on games like Temple Run and Angry Birds and there is no pause in the game either , there is basically no in game control key , and you get the options to share - or play a new game after you crash , this is annoying especially if your girlfriend texts you /mom calls you for dinner when you are just about to pass level 10 after playing for hours ,and this can virtually drive anyone into madness.and yet you still can't stop playing it because there is something about the game that is addictive .i mostly guess this is because every one of us still has a inner-9year old somewhere .

The Good

*Its simple , fun and free - the holy trinity in a successful game

*You can burn hours of commuting ,riding ,boring lecture time with this game ,

The Bad

*No basic in-game menu buttons to pause

*Time is precious , and this new found addiction will quite literally burn it up even before you even hit level 10

*Game has been pulled out by its creator ,R.I.P Flappy Bird (2014/2/10)

Our rating - 5/10

No Longer Available on - iOS , Android

Nikon 850 gets leaked ......does the top feature a hybrid EVF?

Obtained by NikonRumors , these two leaked press images give us the first look into what the Nikon D850 actually looks like . TL:DR - Nikon D850 has a larger penta-prism buldge on top , and it no longer features a pop up flash . The bulge will feature connectivity options (Wifi ? Bluetooth and NFC? GPS?) rather than a hybrid EVF(as rumored by many) as locking up the mirror for on sensor detection is still in its infancy ) . Nikon will implement this technology in the future once the tech improves and costs drop down , but by that time they will just feature a Mirrorless lineup as well. Although the new D850 shares the same DNA as its predecessor ,The first leaked images show us that the buttons are now illuminated , this is great for all those "Astrographers" who struggle with finding which is which on the 810 series as backlighting was left out . There is also a tiltable touch screen display and will certainly benefit all those who shoot like to shoot in odd an...
