Lets Golf 2 Drops To $1.99

The deals just keep on coming from the Microsoft Red Stripe Deals. One of my favorites is currently on special, Let's Golf 2 from Gameloft. This challenging golf game pits your favorite cartoon golfers with a super power against some of the toughest holes on the planet. Sure, there are still some problems with achievements, and no, I don't expect them to ever be fixed, but it is still a classic golf game that is built for hours of fun. 

There are 4 playing modes, a bevy of courses and challenges and even a group of golfers to be earned through unlocking during play. The regular price of $4.99 for Let's Golf 2 is tempting enough to make me jump. Fore-tunately you can snag it this weekend for $1.99. Swing in and grab it before the deal expires. You'll be happy you did.

Wal-Mart Offers Up Huawei W1 For $229

If you are looking for a non-contract Windows Phone deal, Wal-Mart added another to the list today. The Huawei W1, a midrange Windows Phone 8 device is now available in the non-contract Straight Talk branding.

The 4", dual core device features a 5MP rear shooter and 4GB of internal storage. The internal memory is expandable via MicroSD card. The 1950mAh battery should be enough to get through the work day, but should allow power saver mode to kick in before hitting the charger at the end of long evening.

The $229.88 price tag puts the W1 at a very aggressive place. When considering the competition is a device like the LG Optimus series, the W1 is a solid offering. The Huawei W1 should also work nicely with AT&T, T-Mobile and their MVNOs like Spot Mobile and Red Pocket Mobile.

Great Review Of The Nokia Lumia 928

For you Verizon Wireless users that didn't find the HTC 8x an attractive offering and just didn't think Samsung put any effort into the ATIV Odyssey, there is a new king of the Windows Phone circle for you. The Nokia Lumia 928 is the latest in the Lumia 920 line and is rocking that uber-speedy Verizon LTE connection.

Sharing most of the features with its sister device, the Lumia 920, there isn't much to note hardware wise. That said, Lisa Gade of MobileTechReview did a great hands on that we wanted to pass along. So, hit the link below and enjoy the video.

Game Review: Taco Master

Once in a while I get tripped up by how hard game play can get on a phone. In the case of the brilliant game, Taco Master, it isn't the controls that make this game tough, it's just a challenging game that will make you work from start to finish.

The play is simple enough. You drag tortillas from the plate down to the work station. Then you check the order and assemble it with the ingredients that are pictured. Sounds easy, right? Well, the orders start humming pretty quickly in arcade mode so get ready.

Overall, Taco Master is a great way to kill some time and even is a game worth mastering. Multiple modes and a free price tag make this a bargain. Check out Taco Master from Kaxan Games before the freebie deal disappears.
