The lking Dead: h to r
The lking Dead has already spawned a few different games, including Telltale’s excellent episodic adventure series, there’s one more in the ay Store this week: h to r. From the same studio behind licensed fare such as Game of Thrones Ascent Star Trek elines, h to r pairs bits of dialogue from familiar characters with a seemingly endless base-building grind. though it has a more polished look, The lking Dead: h to r is still primarily a menu-driven affair like Mobile Strike or Game of r, in which you’ll tap buttons to generate or upgrade buildings perform other actions. Most of these games prove to be paper-thin can be extremely tedious, but if you love The lking Dead, then maybe it’ll be a fair distraction to fill some spare minutes each day.

Microsoft’s effort is Mixer, the new Mixer Create app—which just exited beta—lets you tap into the service from your Android phone. imarily, Mixer is focused on streaming live video game footage, so if you want to toss out a stream from Minecraft: cket ition or Clash Royale, this gives you another way to do it. You can have your own image in view from the phone’s front camera, as well as interact in live chat with viewers—or you can simply broadcast yourself if you’re not a gamer. irdly, however, the Mixer Create app is separate from the main Mixer app, which means you can stream from this one but not browse or view other people’s streams. y isn’t this just one complete app?
