Twitch has increased the security for accounts on the live streaming service by adding Two-Factor Authentication now. If you use Battle.net, and even Steam, you should be familiar with how this works.

If you have been following this site for any length of time then you have probably seen us talking about VPNs at one point or another. While they can be handle for having a secure connection to do things like banking and whatnot, we’ve talked about using them to gain access to games on Google Play that are not available in our area.
One of the major reasons to use the proper marketplaces when grabbing the Android game or app that you want at that time is because of the security risks that are involved with shady third-party sites and torrents. There is no guarantee of what you are actually getting until it is on your device basically. There is a new strain of malware that has shown up for Android devices that is apparently ‘virtually impossible’ to remove, at least for right now.

Yesterday’s DroidGamers Daily Deal was all about learning to develop for Android through examples, having built 10 full functioning real world applications by the time you’re done the entire course.

Up until today anyone who publishes an Android game or application onto Google Play had a limit as to how high of a price they could charge. If you’ve been using Android since it was released, you may remember a long time ago a few applications popping up that were ridiculously priced, ranging from $99-$200.

Square Enix, of course, is one of those exceptions to the rule, with games regularly priced at $10-$15.
PreLaunch.me has been in beta for a little while now, making sure their app and service have as few bugs as possible. Today the company has decided to officially drop the beta tags they have been wearing and fully launch their service as well as their Android app.
One thing about being in the video game industry is that you get to try a lot of alphas, betas (both closed and open), early preview builds, and so on.
