'The Wolf Among Us' makes its way to Google Play

Creators of The Walking Dead games are bringing their new title out of exclusivity with Amazon and into the hands of the larger Android base. Telltale has finally brought The Wolf Among Us to Google Play. The episodic game is free to download but you will need to make in-app purchases once you complete the first episode so you can move forward. You will play a man/werewolf that interacts with many famous fairytale characters. Like TWD, you walk around and click on various items to move the game forward.

Oakley introduces new lens technology to improve snow visibility

Oakley Canada has introduced its latest lens technology designed to help you see better as you ski and ride in the snow. Dubbed as PRIZM, the technology works to enhance visibility and contrast in the snow over a wide range of light conditions. It promises to let you see contours and texture of the snow. "This new technology takes the same approach as noise-canceling headphones," said Ryan Saylor, director of advanced product development at Oakley. "It tunes down the irrelevant colours and lets you focus completely on the colours that are most important to you sport."

PRIZM lens technology will be seen on the 2014 Oakley Snow Goggle Collection, which went on sale this month. It will be available in three different lens options: Black Iridium, Jade Iridium, and Rose.

SlideShow: First look at the Nexus 6

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

I had the chance to check out pre-release versions of the upcoming Nexus 6 from Google and Motorola as well as get a preliminary look at Android 5.0 Lollipop. The 6-inch smartphone, which looks and feels like a supersized Moto X, will be made available in Midnight Blue and Cloud White, it is the largest Nexus handset ever shipped, and is also available for pre-order in the US today, Canadian pre-orders are expected early November. Pricing is expected at around  CAD $749 for the 32GB and $799 for the 64GB variants respectively.

The Nexus 6 isn't being marketed as a 'phablet' but it is bigger than the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and even the iPhone 6 Plus. It runs a quad-core 2.7GHz processor and is designed to excel at multimedia and has a 13 megapixel camera with optical image stabilization. Another huge feature is the inclusion of Motorola's Turbo Charger which they say only needs 15 minutes to charge 7 hours of use. It will be sold via Google Play in 32 GB and 64 GB storage capacities as well as with various Canadian carriers. Stay tuned for more Canada-specific information in the coming weeks.
