Temple Run 2 Surpasses 50 Million Downloads in Just 13 Days
It’s a proud day for Imangi Studios as Temple Run 2 has shattered records with over 50 million downloads in just 13 days. To put thing in perspective, last April, Angry Birds Space became the fastest growing mobile game with 50 million downloads in 35 days. To think Temple Run 2 accomplished such a feat in 22 days less than download king Angry Birds, is quite impressive.
This new record comes from the combination of downloads across iOS and Android, including the App Store, Amazon App Store, and Google Play.
“Temple Run has evolved into something so much bigger than us,” says Keith Shepherd, co-founder of Imangi. “The game has performed beyond our wildest dreams, and we are thrilled that gamers and fans have embraced Temple Run 2 in such a short period of time.”
I thoroughly enjoyed the original Temple Run and am happy to see it successor doing so well.
Congrats Imangi Studios!

Urban Armor Gear LG G4 Case Review
June 23, 2015 | Vincent Messina
The Urban Armor Gear series of cases for the LG G4 aim to protect and serve your mobile device in a virtual blanket of, well, urban armor. Designed from a patented lightweight composite consisting of a hard outer shell and a soft impact resistant core, this dual layer defense not only meets military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6), but looks good doing it. Now, before I go into more detail, let it be know that I have always been more of an au naturel device kind of guy, but after a bit of time with the Ash colored LG G4 Urban Armor Case, I can tell you that this case won’t be coming off any time soon.
Device Review: Droid Turbo, This is the Droid You’re Looking For
January 31, 2015 | Keyan X
The DROID brand deserves the majority of credit for the amount of early success that the Android operating system had in 2009 and 2010. From the original Motorola DROID to the original DROID Incredible, this was the brand of phones that people flocked to if they wanted a phone outside of the iPhone, not just because of a great marketing campaign, but because these were top of the line phones. Ask most of the readers on this site which phone got them started on Android, and you shouldn’t be surprised to hear them say, “The OG DROID.” It’s an iconic phone that helped launch Android to the top.
