After a rocky beta last week I am happy to report that Fireproof Games have officially released The Room: Old Sins on the Play Store. This is the fourth entry in their graphic adventure series, and you can grab it right now for $4.99. This time around you’ll explore an elaborate dollhouse as you follow obscure clues and manipulate bizarre contraptions in the search for an important artifact.
If you have never played any of the titles in The Room series, you are missing out.

For smartphone fans who enjoy a good spoiler, we started the year off with a pretty substantial one, when in mid-January a very convincing peek at Motorola’s 2018 lineup surfaced. That included some follow-ups to the affordable Moto G5 family in the f…
Motorola is taking app development more seriously.
When you think of Motorola’s phones, you think more about the hardware than the software — not because the latter is bad, but because it’s pretty sparse, yielding to Google’s idea of what Android should be. But there are a few differentiating features, like Moto Voice and Display, that are tucked neatly into the Moto app pre-installed on every phone.
In Sao Paolo, Brazil this week, during the launch of the Moto G6 and E5 series, Motorola’s VP of Product, Dan Dery, told the audience that the company would be launching a new Beta Experiences program to allow early adopters to test new features of existing Moto experiences, along with new ones entirely, in order to provide feedback and shape the future of the company’s software platform.
Launch timing and details were sparse — we’ve reached out to Motorola for more detail — but after years of stagnation from a software perspective, it’s nice to see Moto taking its f…
Take your gaming on the road with the GeChich M155, our pick for the best portable monitor for your PlayStation 4.

Best for PS4 Pro
Short of buying a PlayStation Vita and doing some Remote Play magic, playing your PlayStation 4 on the go can be a tricky and cumbersome experience. But it doesn’t have to be.
That’s thanks to the advent of portable monitors. While it won’t be portable in a handheld sense, you can make it far more comfortable to not only pack up and travel with your PS4, but also play it anywhere you can find a power outlet.
The portable monitors we’ll be taking a look at today are all capable of delivering very competent gaming experiences for your PS4. We’ve highlighted monitors based on a number of factors, including portability, ease of use, and resolution.

Custom responses are just a few clicks away — no coding required.
If you’ve got a question, chances are Alexa has an answer. Amazon’s been hard at work improving its AI for a few years now, and its latest development results in you being handed the tools for creating custom responses specifically for your own Alexa-powered speaker.
Amazon just launched a new service called “Alexa Blueprints”, and it enables you to cook up personalized responses from Alexa based on certain questions that you ask it.
There are a variety of Blueprints to choose from on Amazon’s website, with some of the highlights including custom responses for babysitters, family jokes, a collection of your favorite inspirational quotes, etc.
In one example for the Houseguest skill, you could say “Alexa, open My Houseguest Guide” to then hear an intro from Alexa introducing some of the custom questions your guests can ask, such as “How do I turn on the TV?” or “Where’s the toilet paper?”.

Huawei today unveiled the new Honor 10 smartphone in China. The handset packs an edge-to-edge display and high-end specifications, but it’s the gorgeous color options that are most impressive. The phone is already available to pre-order from the Honor site.
The Honor 10 is a slightly more affordable (and more attractive) alternative to the Honor View10. It looks a lot like the Huawei P20 at first glance, with a 5.84-inch FullView display with a 2280×1080 resolution at 432 pixels-per-inch.

This is how Motorola plans to keep its hold on the low-end market.
I would argue that the Moto E line is the last of Motorola’s phones that stays true to the company’s original vision for modern Android smartphones. The vision shown with the original Moto X of a simple, compact phone with specs that were good enough but a complete experience that far outweighed the spec sheet. That’s all but gone now to make way for big, feature-packed and costly phones in the Moto Z line and even the Moto G line, which had extremely humble beginnings but has since eclipsed even what that 2013 Moto X represented.
Last year’s Moto E4 wasn’t flashy or exciting — but it was cheap, and in a real differentiator for a phone of that price it also wasn’t crap. Actually, it was pretty good. The Moto E4 topped out at $129, could regularly be found for about $100, and had all of the entry-level smartphone basics more than covered. This is where Moto makes a killing in developing markets selling unlocked…

The Moto E series is more about price point and value than raw specs, but you still want to know what you’re getting inside your affordable phone. Here’s the full spec sheet for the Moto E5, Moto E5 Play and Moto E5 Plus.

Budget beauties.
It’s been five long years since Motorola introduced the Moto G, a phone that would, after the ignominious rise and fall of the ahead-of-its-time Moto X, come to stand out less for its features than its legacy.
When Lenovo took over the Moto brand, “G” was the lone money-maker in Motorola’s shrinking portfolio, so the new owners did what any corporate parent would do in such a circumstance: it expanded.
What was a single model between 2013 and 2015 bloomed to three in 2016 with the Moto G4, G4 Plus, and G4 Play, and four the following year with the Moto G5, G5 Plus, G5s and G5s Plus, all carefully designed to cater to various slices of the global budget phone market.
To avoid the pitfalls of other companies in such a low-margin business, Motorola has embarked on a ruthlessly data-driven quest to build phones for the existing needs of its incumbent countries, rather than waiting for customers to seek them out. That’s why you’ll find upwards of a dozen individua…
Two of them are coming to the U.S.
Motorola has introduced three new Moto G6 phones for 2018, the G6, G6 Play, and G6 Plus. They’re all pretty similar, and familiar, but each has its own place in the market. Here’s what you need to know.
