Well, it finally happened, after what seems like six solid months of torrential downpour, summer hit the UK with all the head-melting force of a badly flipped BBQ burger slapping hard and firm onto the patio decking of life. Naturally, everyone immediately stopped ranting about the rain and took to howling about the heat, but here in the computer-chilled offices of LOA, we kept our cool, ignoring the overriding temptation to play outside and manfully, erm, manning our desks to keep writing reviews and channelling the news while the rest of the world poured itself a Pimms. And thank the sun god Ra we did…
Yes, it’s been another Android action packed week, with news running from the launch of a new, more secure, more sensible social network, Everyme, to a revolutionary new app designed to take the SmallTalk out of texting, the unveiling of an all-new Android watch, Google’s landmark victory over Oracle in its Java infringment lawsuit, and the arrival of another awesome Android platform mini-PC, just for good measure! That’s news as hot as the pale and pasty skin of the people passing our windows!
Then we come to the week in apps - like metaphorical cucumber-cool sun cream soothing the scorched shell of your smartphone, or something; I think the heat has finally got to me. Anyway, here, app-ly liberally…
These are hard times. Greece is threatening to pull out of the Euro, France is threatening to refuse austerity measures, and Britain is threatening to stop teetering on the precipice of a double-dip recession and just plummet straight down into a Daily Mail delighting depression.

Another week, another inconvenient zombie apocalypse. Yes, with Euro 2012 just around the corner what better time to sharpen both your ball control and undead-ending skills with a bloody take on the beautiful game? Kick with the body and shoot to kill with our favourite new fusion of sports: Pro Zombie Soccer…
Off to attend the festival of football that is the EURO 2012 in Poland and Ukraine this June? Looking forward to a stupendous smorgasbord of soccer supremacy worth phoning home about? Stop right there, firm footie fan! Unless you’re packing Tango, there’s every chance those calls could be a massive own goal…
“The good guys dress in black, remember that, just in case we ever face-to-face and make contact…” That’s right, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and that shouty Texan bloke are back and they’re back in black. Returning for a third outing to cinema screens across the country in a bid to save the Earth from the scum of the universe one more time, now you too can be part of the ET-trouncing team…
Getting a taxi in London can be difficult; finding an empty one, one willing to go south of the river ‘at this time of night’, or simply one not driven by a man whose thoughts for most of the journey centre around how he’s going to dispose of your corpse is no easy feat in a city that’s constantly expanding.
