Yes Please: Assassin’s Creed 3 Gets A Gameplay Trailer

With the heartbreaking news that Bioshock Infinite’s release has been pushed back to February, 2013, Assassin’s Creed moves up a place on my “games coming out this fall that I’m excited about” list (which actually exists and I look at whenever I get depressed and feel like I can’t go on). And here’s the just released “gameplay” trailer for it which looks a lot less like less gameplay and a lot more like cutscenes/cinematics. Regardless, it still looks good and I have every intention of hacking my way through the redcoats with a hatchet, and, if I remember to pre-order the game from some retailer, probably an exclusive downloadable Swiss army knife or something. *stab stab corkscrew*

Hit the jump for more shooting and stabbing than I’d like to admit gave me a boner.

Google+ iPhone app gets major refresh

FILED IN gadgets No Comments

Google’s most recent attempt at social networking has been far more successful than anything else it’s tried before. That’s mostly down to the simple user interface, ease of communication, and its great native application. The iOS app has just been updated, and looks fantastic. It has a new, simpler and more fluid UI, with an incredibly useful home screen…

Klout In The Airport: A High Score Gets You Into Cathay Pacific’s SFO Lounge

FILED IN gadgets No Comments

Last month, Klout launched its iPhone app. Today, it’s announcing its first big mobile partnership, one that should make app pretty appealing to any air travelers in San Francisco.

So Klout is launching a Perk with Hong Kong-headquartered Cathay Pacific Airways. Anyone in the international terminal at San Francisco International Airport with a Klout score of 40 or higher will be allowed into the airline’s lounge, which is normally limited to Cathay’s first class and business class passengers. Just use the app to show your score to the lounge receptionist and you’ll get access to seven workstations, three showers, and a noodle bar.

The promotion, which starts today and runs through July, is another sign that whatever the haters say, companies are interested in exploring Klout as a marketing opportunity. That Cathay Pacific is willing to open its doors to Klout users seems like a real commitment, albeit one that’s limited to SFO, rather than all of its airports.

So if you’re scared of a future where people are flashing their Klout scores to get special access, well, that future is getting closer.

Google Maps For Android Gets Google Offers, Business Photos & Indoor Walking Directions

FILED IN gadgets No Comments

Google just launched an update for Google Maps for Android that brings three interesting new features to the app: integration with Google Offers, support for Google Business Photos and indoor walking directions.

With the new Google Offers integration, Android users will now be able to see which nearby stores currently offer deals. This, says Google, includes both offers that can be purchased, as well as “free” offers that are available immediately. Users can also opt-in to receive notifications when there are offers near them. Google, it is worth noting, also offers a dedicated Google Offers app for Android as well.

The Google Maps for Android app now also lets users in the U.S. and Japan (the two countries where venue owners can already upload their own indoor maps) get indoor walking directions. This is clearly an area Google has been working on for a while. Earlier this year, the company, for example, launched an Android app that allows venue owners to help Google improve its indoor location accuracy.

The app now also features support for Google Business Photos (a.k.a. Indoor Streetview). With this feature, users can get access to 360-degree panoramic images from inside local stores and restaurants. These images are now highlighted on every participating business’s Place page in Google Maps for Android.
