How much Tablets and Mobiles are Used

It’s not a surprise that mobile devices have been overtaking desktop ones, both in technology and usage, in the last few years. Up to 2013 the hours of desktop use, per day, in the USA, overtook mobile devices, and it was 2013 when they were both used exactly equally, and after then mobile devices overtook desktops, in their hours of usage. Even though TVs are still the most device, to watch media content, it’s usage is slowly going down year by year.

Online games have become much more advanced in the last few years, too, in their graphics and audio advancements, but also the range of games available, on PCs, consoles and mobile devices, and the span many genres, including first-person shooters, strategies games, and massively multi-player online role-playing games (MMORPGs.) Many online games, especially MMORPGs, create their own communities, whilst other games, especially social games, integrate the players’ existing real-life communities. With apps now widely used, on mobile devices, it’s now easier, and cheaper, to play games which have been downloaded onto your device, as once downloaded then internet connection is not normally needed to play favourite games, from games for preschoolers, to zombie fight, and skilled driving games. There are also online casino games which have big jackpots, so you can play here on these sites, to see what they have to offer. Betway has a range of casino games, from roulette, blackjack, and slots, with welcome bonuses for new players.

Take an Odyssey through console gaming history

New online game celebrates the new console generation with a trip down memory lane

To celebrate the release of the next generation of consoles, tech brand Ebuyer has released Odyssey, a game that takes the player through the history of gaming.

Odyssey tells the story of a young protagonist who is offered the chance to playtest a virtual reality headset, but when a glitch causes the computer's AI to degenerate into primitive fragments it's up to the Player to collect pieces of its memory in the form of past games consoles.

The run-and-jump platformer features seven unlockable levels, each corresponding to a console generation, going from simple Atari aesthetics all the way to the lush hand-painted graphics of seventh generation games. Throughout the game the player will collect consoles, which will be added to an inventory where you can learn more about each one.

Odyssey features a total of 102 consoles to collect - including many you may not be familiar with, like the Action Max and Sega Pico - as well as all your favourites such as the NES, PlayStation and Xbox.

Stuart Carlisle, Managing Director from Ebuyer commented: "We're all gamers at heart and we all remember the amazing consoles from our childhood. At the same time, we're excited about the innovative new Xbox One and PS4, so we wanted to create something special to celebrate everything we love about console gaming. We want players to be able to have fun with Odyssey and at the same time learn more about the history of gaming."

"We've been having a lot of fun playing it around the office, and I have to say that we've got quite good at it. We're looking forward to seeing whether players around the world can match up to our skills and collect every console."
