Google sells a lot of games, but often, the ones downloaded from the Play Store require Internet access even in single-player modes. So for the latest promotion, they've decided to highlight games that don't require Internet Connection. You can play them on a train. You can play them on a plane. You can play them in a box. You can play them with a fox. Because like planes, trains, boxes, and foxes, they work without any data connection at all.   Not all of these titles are must-haves in our opinion, and they don't appear to be any discounts. Still, it's a handy little list if you're planning a trip and want some reliable entertainment. Some of the games have an online multiplayer or ranking system, but they don't need a connection for single-player.     Sourc... Read more

  Again, Two new Photos of the Sony Xperia Z3 has been leaked. The images don't really reveal much about the phone's innards they show the exterior and it looks the same as a leak we saw two weeks ago. The similarities run through the design and show the same rounded edges unlike the Xperia Z2,which has flatter, sharper edges.     While we've seen the front, we haven't the back panel. It looks to be glass-made, like on the current-gen flagship and the camera lens looks the same with a single LED flash. The sides reveal a camera shutter button, volume rocker, a slightly redesigned power button as well as some sort of flap we're guessing for the microSD card slot.   The Sony Xperia Z3 is expected to retain the Snapdragon 801 processor and 3GB RAM of the Xperia Z...
