You know that Sony smartphone you bought for its “waterproof” form factor? Whatever you do, don’t take it under water.

Despite boasting about their water-resistance capabilities, opening underwater smartphone stores, and using promotional shots like the one above, Sony is now warning customers not to get its Xperia smartphones too wet.

There’s been a disturbance in the Force: a free-to-play Star Wars game has arrived for iOS and Android, and it’s surprisingly damn good.

Star Wars: Uprising is the first video game that’s actually canon to the new Star Wars Universe, taking place between Return of the Jedi (VI) and the upcoming The Force Awakens (VII).

That alone merits a download, but once you start playing, you’ll find a really well-written storyline, some deep customization options, and an addictive gear collecting and upgrading system that will keep you going back for more. Check out the trailer below for some glorious Star Wars action.
