I am playing the same on my PS3 and learning the tricks of the Fifa 16 game. Last time I tried was a real match on the previous version of Fifa13 with my friends. I did maintained to draw a match on Fifa16 yesterday with my team being Manchester United against Arsenal (1-1) and during penalty shoot out scored 4-1 to win the match. I really loved going through the skills practice to start from Bronze to Gold levels. I am still working on to get Gold points in all the skills levels but will soon be there.

5. Never miss a call or text, and be reachable on both SIM cards at any time with Smart Dual SIM for maximum flexibility.

“Many people, especially the younger tech-involved audiences, aspire to own the latest flagship smartphone, but often don’t have the means,” said Patrick Henchie, Head of product, Microsoft Mobile Devices, Sub-Sahara Africa.  “With access to the best services right out of the box, including the Windows Phone 8.1 update, Lumia Denim, Lumia 535 helps people do more of what they want, for less.”

The Lumia 535 is available now, in black and white colors.

Product Launch - Microsoft Lumia 730 #LoveThySelfie

Hi Guys!

Microsoft has launched Lumia 730 Dual SIM, exclusively with consumer champion, Cell C. The device will be available soon at Cell C stores countrywide for just R229 per month on a SmartChat 1GB contract. The recommended cash retail price is R4499. 

The Lumia 730 combines slim, compact design with powerful performance creating an uncompromised smartphone experience. Alongside dual SIM support, the Lumia 730 provides outstanding personalisation with the latest version of Windows Phone 8.1 along with Lumia Denim. The phone is very light weight and comes in matte and glossy back covers. I really loved the Green Matte back cover. 

Lumia 730 has it’s first wide angle, 5MP front facing camera, enabling people to easily capture and share more of what they want - #LoveThySelfie. The front facing camera means a great experience when making Skype video calls, and consumers that purchase their Lumia 730 this year will also get the benefit of three months of free Skype calls to landlines around the world. 

The powerful front facing camera also takes unbeatable selfies in full 5MP resolution, with videos recorded in 1080p. These can be shared quickly and easily via social networks like Facebook and Instagram. With a focal length of 24mm, the Lumia 730's front facing camera captures more of the scene, ensuring people are never cut out of the group. 

A powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, featuring a quad core CPU at 1.2GHz, means a fast and smooth user experience. The 2220 mAh battery keeps you going for a full day, and the 4.7 inch HD OLED display has a viewing angle of almost 180 degrees, making it possible to watch your favourite videos even in bright sunlight. 

Microsoft services such as Outlook, Word, Excel, OneNote and PowerPoint bring a great mobile productivity experience, and 15GB of OneDrive cloud storage allow you to sync, store, access and share content online. Additionally, you can access a world of apps through the Windows Store, with favourites like Instagram, Adidas miCoach, Vimeo, Uber and Flipboard. 

The best thing I likes it the removable covers to replace it with your favourite colour and also you can change the batteries. Wireless charging has been taken off from Lumia 730 as compared to 720. Also the rear camera of 6.7 MP remains the same across both devices. Dual sim can be controlled via the settings and notifications will enable you to stay in touch always. 

The Lumia 730 will be available locally in dark grey. Consumers purchasing the devices from mid-November at selected stores will receive a free Xbox 360 with games. This offer is limited to the first 250 customers.

Cheers!!!

Product Review - Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes

Hi Guys, 

 

Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes is an action/adventure game will take players deep into the Marvel Universe with classic characters and original storyline. The game allows players more opportunity for unprecedented freedom and endless possibilities to create new adventures themselves.

In Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes, players use real-world interactive Marvel figures to activate original storylines (Play Sets) in the virtual game worlds of some of Marvel’s most popular franchises, including The Avengers. In the Play Sets, players are able to take on the role of more than 20 Marvel characters including Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor, Hulk and Hawkeye to battle enemies, complete challenging missions, solve puzzles and ultimately save the world from destruction. 

I played the characters of Thor, Black Widow, Spiderman & Iron Man and totally fell in love with them. Each has his own unique powers and limitations so deciding what you want to play with against which enemy is really great. This is great if you want to test some of the rival enemies against other MARVEL Super hero. I am not that good with Microsoft XBOX remote when I tried it but I will be buying the game to play on my Nintendo Wii or whenever I buy Sony PS3/PS4 and get rid of my ages old Sony PS2. I got the Hawk Eye as a gift to attend the premier of the game but I won't be able to use it unless I have the whole Starter Pack. 

Featuring an enhanced Toy Box mode, Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes has introduced new structured, franchise-themed adventures that players can customize and play using any in-game character from across the Disney Infinity universe. Fans also have hundreds of Marvel-themed items, locations, props and characters at their disposal to create their own stories or even re-create their favorite comic book moments. 

                                     

GAMEPLAY FEATURES
