Gaming journal cum social network in one: dpadd

Many may not like it (mostly, parents) but Online gaming is indeed serious business for others. There are those who live, eat & breathe games. For this lot, there’s an Online journal cum social network launched a few months ago called Dpadd.com

Here are the many things you can do using this startup:

  • Record all the games you play
  • Rate and review them after you’ve finished
  • Make a list of all the games you want to play
  • Sort by release date & which games you own
  • Follow your friends and industry professionals to see what they’re playing
  • View the most played, rated & wanted games of the week
  • explore 40,000 game pages

A Canadian startup, Dpadd.com was thrown open to Gamers sometime late 2013. Using it, gamers can share updates with friends & industry professionals. Dpadd also offers a centralized profile for gamers to manage their existing gaming accounts like Xbox Live, Playstation Network, Steam & Twitch. On its Website, it says the goal “is to become the best place for gamers to diary their gaming, manage their collection & keep tabs on all the games they want to play.”

Dpadd is designed and developed by Clayton Correia, a UI designer/developer dude from Vancouver, Canada. The game data for Dpadd is provided by Giant Bomb.

New version of spelling & block dropping combo game Wordrop released

Play this Online game & improve your vocubulary too. Synapticats, Inc. has released Wordrop 2.0, an upgraded version of its iPad word game published last August. In addition to the original Classic mode, Wordrop now has 3 new game modes, full Game Center integration, customization options, & plenty of new “eye candy”.

Synapticats WordropThe premise of Wordrop is to spell words from the available letters, clearing them from the screen & scoring points. Longer words are worth many more points than shorter words, so boning up on your vocabulary gains you a big advantage.

In Classic and Endurance modes, gamers can survive by spelling words with letters falling from the sky before the letters fill up the screen. In Race mode, they need to think fast & spell as many words as they can before time runs out, while in Puzzle mode, they have time on their side to spell words using every last letter on the screen to win the game.

New options include the ability to choose color themes, sound settings, among others. And by signing into GameCenter, gamers can compare themselves with global players, earn achievements for performing feats within the game, & issue challenges to your friends.

Wordrop is available for iPad (iOS 6.0 and above) in the iTunes App Store for US $2.99.
