TV adverts for game apps
Aug 8th, 2015 at 11:35am
 
I'd never heard of the Asphalt 8 car racing app till I heard and saw a TV advert about it being a top fav game. I was watching the Flash TV series on Sky 1 and later on another game app TV advert came on. Some dragon-playing game. I wondered if these were free-to-play apps and how much file space they would use up... NB some Internet devices have such low storage space... NB some apps have data that won't be split up between an internal SD card and an external SD card.

I use the Move to SD card app to get a lot of apps onto the Internet devices I use without running out of storage space much of the time.

The Google Play Store has a top fav display of apps yet doesn't split this into sections so we see all sorts of utilities apps mixed in with games apps. Useful for a quick browse though...

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=Asphalt%208&c=apps

(The %20 part is used to create a space gap, hence that Asphalt%208 as above...)

The fast dual or quad processors in Internet tablets improve our gameplay, as was shown by Shawn playing his fav car racer app. The Internet Tablet named as iMediaBlaze was well received when on bid tv.

Since then, I've seen Internet tablets on various TV shop channels, so when the TV Guide tells us about Home Electronics or Games I try to tune in to see the in-depth demos. It helps to watch these using the HDMI output to the HD TV... Consider the even better display that the QVC+1 HD channel offers on Freeview.

Some TV shop demos will be uploaded to the YouTube service, so maybe that website's worth checking and also the YouTube TV channel on the VM TiVo would be worth checking and recording when possible.

The trouble is a lot of these game apps will have optional 'in app' purchases which the bill payer has to pay, there is not enough
protection and some times none atall to prevent these purchases going through. So one has to be very careful and set up pins and passwords which should help. Regards
