There’s a lot of Buzz about wearable tech these days, be it the Google Glass, or these top of the line Smart Watches. Here are the four Smart Watches that stood above others in my list.

But which one is the best among them is not an easy statement to make. Be it the Kreyos Meteor, Pebble, Sony SW2 or Samsung Galaxy Gear. Each one has it’s unique features, some are great at media while others have slick features like Siri and Google Now support. I would tell you a little about each of them before comparing these, starting with Kreyos Meteor.

Kreyos Meteor– The Kreyos SmartWatch is in talk, since it came out and the response from people has been great after it was listed on Indiegogo for funding, the total funding has crossed a whooping 1.1 million, i.e. 1100% of what the company was asking for. But there’s a reason for such an overwhelming response and funding from everyone – Features! The Kreyos Meteor is packed with some really cool features which we would compare below.

Pebble SmartWatch– It’s not a smartphone for your wrist, in fact, it’s far less sophisticated than you might expect — the lightweight device reads out basic text, lets you skip through music tracks and, of course, displays the time. But this doesn’t mean it’s a bad smartwatch, it too has some amazing features.

Sony SmartWatch 2– Though it doesn’t make calls or snap photos, the $199 SmartWatch 2 delivers detailed updates and a wide ecosystem of apps in an attractive, water-resistant package, and many great apps that sony offer. It’s slick looks are a Big plus too.

Samsung Galaxy Gear– With a 1.6-inch AMOLED screen, upcoming third-party support and even a camera, this promises to be unlike any smartwatch we’ve talked about before. Still, $300 is a pretty high price to pay. Below you will see if it’s worth it.

With all of these comparisons, the “winner” will  depend on what you’re looking for in your Smart Watch. The Galaxy Gear and Kreyos Meteor gives you the most features, but Samsung Galaxy Gear’s phone compatibility is also by far the most limited in this group, not mention it’s Pricing is a little too high for a Smartphone Accessory. While Pebble lacks some of the Gear’s more smartphone-like features, but it has a lot of software support and a great price compared to other devices and if you want a premium device, Pebble 2 is on it’s Way! People are also pretty big fans of the Sony SmartWatch 2, for its “Find my Phone” feature and many other apps compatibility.

Whichever direction you choose – even if that means holding out for Apple’s and Google’s rumored takes on the smartwatch – hopefully you’re a little clearer on what is offered in these Smart watches.

Ratchet and Clank: Before the Nexus Review https://www.dragonslovetech.com/rachet-and-clank-before-the-nexus-review/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rachet-and-clank-before-the-nexus-review Thu, 09 Jan 2014 14:00:02 +0000 http://www.dragonblogger.com/?p=39128 Rachet and Clank: Before the Nexus is a typical endless running game with a couple of issues as well as a couple of smile-worthy surprises.

Ratchet and Clank: BTN (free) by Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC is not a full-fledged Ratchet and Clank title but an endless runner that is undoubtedly similar to numerous other popular Endless Runner games slumming around on the Google Play Store.

As the name says, Before the Nexus takes place before the events that unfurl in the Into the Nexus game. In this game, Vendera Prog and her brother, Neftin Prog, are making trouble, and Ratchet along with Clank gears up to stop them.

In this installment of the Franchise, Ratchet is running along a three way Track and though the title has Clank in it’s name, Ratchet really does most of the work in this run. Clank hangs out on his buddy’s back as usual, but he doesn’t lend much other than the witty quip. It’s a bit disappointing since a little humor, better voice acting, and general back-and-forth would nothing but help set the game apart from other endless runners providing a bit of audio entertainment while playing.

Ratchet’s Primary objective is to run, shoot and avoid the obstacles while collecting the bolts, which serves as the in-game currency, and of course the main goal is staying alive. The terrain switches between rail-grinding zones and  shooting zones, which mixes up the action nicely and should keep you coming back for another run, or two or three.

I found the shooting in the game is spotty unfortunately. You fire shots by tapping on an enemy, which is simple enough – until your finger gets into the scenario blocking your view making it difficult to see who’s targeting you as some enemies shoot back, and your own finger then blocks you from seeing what pitfalls are looming ahead.

Dodging obstacles in these instances can also be difficult. Before the Nexus is responsive most of the time but I found it to stick when you make evasive maneuvers. Sometimes shooting or dodging also takes a split-second longer than it should, and you can’t afford that split-second when enemies are bearing down on you.

Before the Nexus does look good, thanks to smooth character models and rich outdoor environments, it makes you feel you’re in the Ratchet and Clank universe. The animation is fluid and there was no slowdown aside from the above mentioned gun problem.
