After hitting the App Store a few days ago, Asphalt 7: Heat has finally screeched its way into the Google Play Store. Gameloft’s latest Asphalt installment claims to be the fastest, most visually stunning edition of the famed Asphalt series yet. With a full set of features, and a $.99 price tag, users will enjoy:

Google continues its series of introductory videos for new users looking to become acquainted with Android and the Nexus 7. Their latest video is a bit shorter than I would prefer but I guess the general idea is to show off a few of the awesome Google apps that come standard on the Nexus 7 (and most every other Android device).

Well, what can I say? I was in complete shock to find out the first batch of Nexus Q devices sold out in less than 24 hours. Granted I have no idea just how many Qs Google had in stock, I’m still in disbelief. I thought for sure the price tag would deter the majority of consumers, yet here we are, looking at a backordered product that won’t start shipping for another 2-3 weeks.

Okay, so I was being sarcastic about the clever name. Nevertheless, the joint venture announced by Redbox and Verizon back in February has finally given birth to an official name, and that name is Redbox Instant by Verizon. Together, Verizon and Redbox plan on bringing yet another video on-demand streaming and download service to the market. As long as Verizon doesn’t screw it up with pricing, the Redbox kiosk/streaming combo could be a real winner.

If you were (or still are) the proud owner of a Sega Dreamcast, then you may remember the classic title Jet Set Radio (Jet Grind Radio in North America). Jet Set Radio was hailed as a revolutionary game due to it being one of the first to make prolific use of a rendering technique called cel-shading (allowing for a “cartoon-like” appearance of 3D rendered objects). While these rendering techniques aren’t so revolutionizing today, Jet Set Radio remains a rollerblading, music loving classic, featuring wholesale amounts of spray paint.
