Get Gaming-Related Stories Delivered To Your Mobile Device With Games News
Games News (Free) by Shaun Pryszlak is a Web post aggregator that specializes in gaming-related news. Instead of trying to read through hundreds of RSS feeds, this universal app brings you gaming news and information, listed by categories.
An attractive app, this is not. However, it does the job of aggregating gaming-related news and information just fine. The app includes headlines from: Edge, C&VG, Games Radar, Kotaku, Eurogamer and Gamespot. Tags are displayed on the main page in a variety of sizes, smaller ones with fewer posts, larger for ones with many posts. For example, Playstation 3 is one of the largest tags and there are 23 different posts related to the console game as of writing this review. The Sims, however is one of the smallest tags and only has one post.
As you read posts, they will become gray in color to represent the fact that you have already read them. You can choose to mark an entire tag as read if there are too many stories related to one topic. You can update the app at any time by shaking your iPad or iPhone. The app refreshes news every half hour. You can also highlight certain tags by “liking” them. This will change the color of the tag, making it easier to find among all of the others.
Overall, this universal app is an easy way to read up on gaming news. No, it doesn’t have a fancy user interface, but it really gets the job done. You can focus on information related specifically to your favorite console or news about an upcoming game that you are excited about. Since it is free, Games News is a great find.
