Not when EA Sports has just announced EA Sports FC Tactical. A game for iOS and Android systems that will appear in early 2024 that, instead of allowing us to play the matches in real time, will offer us a very different experience with a turn-based strategy game.
As EA wanted to emphasize, this is an experience much more based on management and strategy on the field than pure skill at the controls. With simulated matches, actions as typical of soccer as attacking, defending, stealing the ball or shooting at goal become turn-based skills, forcing us to think about the match in each of its stages in a much more strategic way. A change to a more leisurely style of play and more conducive to the game on phones and tablets.
In any case, that doesn’t mean it will be lacking in content. The game will have 5000 real players spread across ten leagues, including the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and Serie 1. In addition, there will be game modes, including friendly online matches and a ranked mode, for those who want to prove they are the best in the world.
If you’re interested in this particular twist on the EA Sports FC formula, you can pre-register now on both the iOS App Store and the Google Play Store. And if you haven’t heard, EA Sports FC 24 was released last September for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch and PC if you want a more classic experience. Even if it’s no longer called FIFA.
Assassin’s Creed: Codename Jade is going to have a closed beta in early August and we’ll explain what you need to know to be able to play it.
Ubisoft doesn’t plan on slowing down with Assassin’s Creed, as the famous franchise that pits assassins against Templars in different historical eras has announced eight games in the series to be released at some point in the future, although only one of them has a confirmed release date. While we previously believed that the next major installment in the franchise, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, would be the first one we could try, it turns out that’s not the case. We’ll be able to try a smaller mobile release first. However, there’s a catch: it will only be available for a limited time.
Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed: Codename Jade will have a closed beta starting on August 3rd. To sign up, you need to register on their website between July 17th and July 27th. If you are randomly selected from all the registrants, you will receive an invitation via email between July 27th and July 31st, provided you are located in Europe or the United States. The beta will begin on August 3rd, as mentioned before, and will conclude eight days later on August 11th. This timeframe will give us more than enough time to get an idea of the game’s features and qualities.
Assassin’s Creed: Codename Jade is a game set in Ancient China, during the time of the Qin dynasty, chronologically positioned between Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Assassin’s Creed Origins. By experiencing the origins of the first Chinese empire, the attacks from the Xiongnu invaders, and the flourishing of the imperial capital of Xianyang, this game has the opportunity to depict a lesser-known but vibrant and highly significant historical moment for humanity. Combined with the foundations of all Assassin’s Creed games, it becomes an enticing prospect that has captured the attention of many players. The game will be released on iOS and Android devices, although at this time, no further information regarding the official release date is available.

These are what we consider to be the best mystery games for PC, mobile and consoles of 2023. Download one of them now and solve the crime!
Are you looking to download mystery games? You’ve come to the right place. “Whodunnit” games are one of the most celebrated and popular genres among gamers who prefer a good story, puzzles, and investigative scenes over shooters, beat ’em ups, or action games.
Whether you’re on PC, console, or mobile, there’s an endless array of mystery games at your fingertips that will test your mind, creativity, and powers of deduction. Are you ready to download some of them? Put on your Sherlock Holmes hat because here are the best mystery games of the moment. We hope you enjoy them!
1. The Phoenix Wright Saga
If you enjoy mystery games, you’ll love Phoenix Wright. Also known as Ace Attorney, it is one of the most well-known and celebrated investigative video game series on the market. Created by Shu Takumi, the Phoenix Wright games put us in the shoes of this spiky-haired lawyer and his successor, Apollo Justice, on a crusade to solve the most bizarre cases.
Packed with humor and unforgettable characters, the Phoenix Wright series stands out for its excellent gameplay. Each case features a superb investigation and interrogation system that culminates in a final act where we must combine everything we’ve learned to defend our client and accuse the true culprit in the courtroom.
Regardless of whether you’re on PC, console, or mobile, you have a wide range of Phoenix Wright games at your disposal. If you’re new to this series, we highly recommend downloading Ace Attorney Trilogy, where you can enjoy the first three cases of the saga. If you get tired of Phoenix, you can also try your luck with Apollo Justice, his young successor. Personally, I highly recommend The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, a fantastic game where you take on the role of Naruhodo Ryunosuke, an ancestor of Wright who must unravel the most intricate mysteries in feudal Japan alongside Sherlock Holmes (or Herlock Sholmes).
With its remaster just around the corner, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective climbs to the second spot on our list. This brilliant mystery and investigation game from Capcom comes once again from the mind of Shu Takumi (Phoenix Wright). In this game, we’ll leave the courtroom behind to become an amnesiac ghost seeking answers about our own death. Sounds intriguing, right? Brace yourself, because twists and turns are coming!
Available for Android mobile devices and soon also for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective puts us in the shoes of a ghost detective right after his death. He has lost his memory, so he doesn’t remember who he is or what led to his untimely demise. That’s when our ghostly investigation begins, where we must solve puzzles and navigate through all sorts of ingenious situations by possessing objects. But that’s not all, you can also control time, rewinding and jumping back to the past whenever you want.
The main Danganronpa saga always follows a similar storyline. A group of elite students has been trapped against their will by Monokuma, a teddy bear with a sinister death game. To escape, one of them must murder a fellow student, and then a trial must be held to uncover the culprit.
If the killer is discovered, they will be subjected to a cruel and often gory execution. If, on the other hand, nobody finds out, the killer will escape while the rest of their classmates perish. While the first installment may be predictable and somewhat disappointing, the second and third entries are excellent.
For all Danganronpa fans, it’s worth noting that we will soon be able to enjoy Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE. This new mystery and investigation game will feature the sinister and fantastic touch that characterizes the creators of this series.
You may not be familiar with the name Tex Murphy if you’re a novice gamer, but he was one of the most beloved detectives in PC games during the 90s. Mean Streets, Martian Memorandum, Under a Killing Moon, Overseer… there are plenty of Tex Murphy games to choose from. But why do I add them to this list? Thanks to a Kickstarter project, Tesla Effect arrived on our computers, a new title in the series that benefits from all the advantages of new technologies while retaining the charm of classic games.
In this game series, we step into the shoes of Tex Murphy, a detective in the year 2040 who, besides not being very good at his job, is obsessed with the golden age of private investigators like The Maltese Falcon.
What usually starts as a seemingly trivial case, like finding a lost cat, ends up turning into a scenario more akin to a James Bond saga. Only the sarcasm of the clumsy detective and, of course, your investigative skills will save the planet. Highly recommended for lovers of comedies and the film noir genre.
One cannot talk about mystery games without including a title featuring the most famous detective of Baker Street. From the hands of the Ukrainian developer Frogwares comes Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened, an excellentremake of the classic 2006 game. This project, born out of an exceptional Kickstarter campaign – in which I myself participated – brings back one of the most iconic titles in the Holmes game franchise. And this time, the detective isn’t facing a simple case, but the very myths of Cthulhu.
Set during the war against Russia, Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened is a faithful portrayal of the original game but with cutting-edge graphics, a new soundtrack, and new cases in the form of DLC. One of the most notable enhancements is the revival of the appearance, voice, and personality of Holmes that we saw in the superb Chapter One, paving the way for a possible resurrection of the detective’s remaining adventures. It’s a must-play for those seeking a great game, and especially for lovers of the stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and H.P. Lovecraft.
While we eagerly await news about The Wolf Among Us 2, its first installment is undoubtedly a game that deserves to be on the list of the best mystery games. It is based on the DC Comics series Fables and its charm lies precisely in the fact that well-known characters from fairy tales are living among humans incognito… but not quite as we remember them.
In The Wolf Among Us, we take on the role of Bigby Wolf (based obviously on the Big Bad Wolf) and find ourselves involved in a series of murders where the victims are all these characters from fables and children’s tales. The Wolf Among Us is a thrilling title that will keep you glued to your screen until you solve the mystery across its five episodes. However, be mindful of your decisions because, as is typical in TellTale Games’ titles, each choice and path you take will have repercussions on the story’s development.
Fans of visual novels have a must-play experience with PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo. This true gem developed by Square Enix immerses us in a story of mystery and terror set in late 20th century Japan. In this game, we take on the role of different characters involved in strange deaths where there is a common factor: deadly relics, vengeful spirits, and a mysterious resurrection ritual.
Although at its core it is a visual novel, PARANORMASIGHT is a game where we can interrogate, use objects, employ logic, investigate thanks to its brilliant 360-degree environments, and even curse and kill our enemies. However, where the game truly excels is in its story. It is intricately woven with so many twists that you won’t be able to stop playing until you unravel its mystery. In short, it’s an incredible game that no one should miss out on.
Created by Ron Gilbert, Thimbleweed Park is a love letter to the old point-and-click games of the era of Maniac Mansion, The Secret of Monkey Island, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. In addition to being a true gift for nostalgic players, it is a truly entertaining mystery game where we must investigate a strange murder on the outskirts of the bizarre town of Thimbleweed Park.
Fun like few others and with humor that surpasses the absurd, Thimbleweed Park is a marvel. The game perfectly manages to make you laugh at all times while keeping you glued to your seat until you uncover the killer in the quirky town specialized in pillow sales. A special mention goes to its sheriff-a-reeno, a character that once you meet him, you will never forget him. It is a must-play for fans of graphic adventures and, unlike the controversial Return to Monkey Island, it provides a gratifying experience from beginning to end.
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers marked a before and after in Sierra Online’s graphic adventures. The fantasy stories of the King’s Quest series were left behind to immerse ourselves fully in a title not recommended for minors, conceived by thriller writer Jane Jensen. In this game, we travel to New Orleans, where we step into the shoes of an egocentric and opportunistic writer on his quest to solve a series of murders related to voodoo.
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers is a surprising, mature, and complex game with a storyline worthy of the best film. It’s not surprising that to this day it is considered one of the best graphic adventures for PC and mobile devices. The game even received a remake with updated HD graphics and 3D characters, further enhancing its appeal.
We conclude the list with AI: The Somnium Files, an excellent mystery game created by Kotaro Uchikoshi, the mind behind the superb Zero Escape series (if you haven’t played it yet, you’re missing out). In this game, we take on the role of detective Kaname Date, a special agent tasked with investigating the serial killings of the so-called Cyclops. The killer’s modus operandi is to disembowel their victims and steal one of their eyes. To aid us in our investigation, we have the assistance of Aiba, an artificial intelligence located in Date’s eye, and the ability to enter the dreams and memories of the characters.
As is customary in Uchikoshi’s games, The Somnium Files features a gripping story that combines moments of comedy with more serious and even gruesome ones. The end result is a surprising plot full of twists and an exceptional conclusion. If you enjoyed AI: The Somnium Files, don’t miss its sequel, AI: The Somnium File – NirvanA Initiative, which, while not quite reaching the same heights as the first installment, is still highly entertaining.
It is clear that iOS has much more than 5 small utilities, but among all of them, these are quite interesting.
Of all the functions offered by iOS, some are better known than others. And some are more useful than others. Of the lesser known ones we want to present a selection of the five most useful.
Apple wants to avoid stock problems: production of iPhone 15 screens will begin next June.
Shortages of raw materials have been a major burden on the technology world, and Apple has been no less so. Last year, this issue affected the production of the iPhone 14 and its availability in stores. Apple does not want to stumble over the same stone again this year and it seems that the production of iPhone 15 screens will start next June.
So explains Ross Young, analyst at DSCC. According to his statements, it is expected that there will be a higher volume of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro. This suggests that Apple anticipates that there will be a higher demand for these specific models. Preparations for iPhone 15 production began last January, but it will not be until June and July that mass production will begin.
What will the iPhone 15 bring?
The entire new iPhone 15 lineup will receive the much-lauded Dynamic Island, a feature that was only present on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. In addition, numerous rumors indicate that this year’s Pro models will keep the same screen size, but feature thinner bezels. Unfortunately, technologies such as ProMotion (allowing refresh rates of up to 120 Hz) will remain exclusive to the Pro models.
However, it’s not just the Pro models that will see new features. The standard iPhone 15s will also receive updates, as is the case with its camera. As we can read on MacRumors, Apple will say goodbye to 12 megapixels after numerous years. The iPhone 14 Pro was the first to debut the new 48-megapixel camera and all indications are that it will be the same that we will see in the basic iPhone 15.
Price higher than ever
Another of the most feared rumors regarding the iPhone 15 has to do with its price increase. The trend is clear and everything points to the iPhone 15 Pro Max becoming the most expensive Apple phone ever.
Currently, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max start from a base price of €1.319 and €1.469, respectively. Now, rumors hint that the price of these devices could go up by as much as €100 more outside the US market. Let’s put it in perspective: when the iPhone 13 Pro went on sale in 2021, it did so with a price tag of €1.159. If the rumors are true, the iPhone would have increased in price by more than 250 euros in just two years. In view of this, would you be inclined to buy the future iPhone 15?
Although the iPhone 15 has not come out, we already have the first rumors about the iPhone 16.
Although the iPhone 15 hasn’t even been announced, rumors pointing to its successor are already here. While the successor to the iPhone 14 would already come with a host of changes, it seems that the iPhone 16 would have even more if possible.
One of the aspects that usually changes the least in the iPhone is its size. Since the release of the iPhone 12, they have remained virtually unchanged, with only slight changes in the notch. Now, analyst Ross Young has let slip that the next iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max would mount screens of 6.3 and 6.9 inches, respectively. Nothing is known about the standard models, but it can be intuited that they would follow the same path as the Pro models.
If this turns out to be true, we would be looking at the largest iPhones in Apple’s history. As of today, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro Max are sold with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens, something that would not change in the upcoming iPhone 15 (at least as far as we know).
Although these are all rumors, the truth is that analyst Ross Young has already leaked information in the past that turned out to be true. For example, he was the one who revealed the arrival of ProMotion technology to the iPhone 13 Pro and the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro.
Will Apple take advantage of this extra space with new features like it did with Dynamic Island? At the moment, all we can do is speculate. What we do know is that the bitten apple company will hold WWDC 2023 on June 5. During the conference, we will see the new iOS 17, iPad OS 17, tvOS 17 and watchOS 10, which is not little. Although the conference will start on June 5, it will last until June 9.
The popular Weather app has experienced many outages during the month of April and things don’t seem to be getting any better.
Have you tried looking at the weather on your iPhone lately? The popular Weather app has experienced many outages during the month of April and it seems that things are not getting any better. Although it is not very clear what the downside is, users keep reporting problems through social networks.
During this morning, Twitter users began to talk about the continuous failures in the operation of the application. Despite the complaints, Apple has not confirmed that there are any problems of any kind with the service.
No they are not, terrible Apple weather app. What on earth did they do to it? pic.twitter.com/Psu0P0PfOV
Although the Weather app comes installed by default on Apple devices, the information displayed is obtained from The Weather Channel. This is an international weather service that displays the weather for virtually anywhere. If Weather has stopped working for you, you can always visit The Weather Channel‘s own website for more information.
If you find that the problems persist, check that you have an active connection on your iPhone, either WiFi or via data. Ultimately, turn your device off and on. This will kill any background processes that are causing problems.

Are you going to travel abroad and do not know the language? These are the best free apps to translate with the camera of your Android or iOS smartphone.
Whether we are going on vacation or preparing for a business trip abroad, it is likely that we are worried about not being able to speak a language that is not our own. The problem increases if, dazzled by exotic destinations, we decide to visit a destination where we don’t even know its writing system. In this type of case, the classic dictionaries will not be able to get us out of trouble because we will not be able to consult them.
For this type of situation there are apps capable of translating through the camera of our phone. Thanks to them we only have to focus our cell phone on the message in question and it will appear almost magically translated into our language.
Nowadays there are many applications that can perform this task, but not all of them offer results with the same level of quality.
Would you like to know which ones we like the most?
1. Google Translator
Google Translator was one of the pioneer applications when it comes to translating messages using the camera of our cell phone. It is completely free and offers versions for both Android and iOS. You can download it quickly and easily below these lines.
Google Translator offers the classic translation in which we write a message and it appears translated, the translation of voice messages and also two different ways to translate with our camera.
Firstly, it offers real-time translation where by simply focusing on the message with the camera, it will appear with the translation superimposed on the image.
Secondly, we can take a picture of the message and then point out with our finger which part we want to translate. After that, Google Translator will show that message underlined in the language of our choice.
One of the strong points of Google Translator is that, by using Google’s translation engine, it offers an endless number of compatible languages. This way you won’t have any problem translating anything you don’t understand regardless of the country you are visiting.
2. Microsoft Translator
Microsoft Translator is the Redmond company’s bet to translate any message you don’t understand. In a similar way to Google Translate, this application allows you to translate both written text and text from your camera, but it also allows you to translate voice conversations. You can download the application for free and securely below these lines.
To translate a message with our camera using Microsoft Translator, we will first have to take a picture of the text in question and then upload it to the application. After that we will receive the message perfectly translated into the language we want.
As it does not have real-time translation, the application may be a bit slower to use than Google Translate, but it is still very convenient and useful.
3. Naver Papag
Naver Papago is an interesting application that will allow you to translate text, and audio , of course, image messages through our camera.
It is very easy to use and offers reliable results in just a few seconds, all without having to pay a single cent. You can download Naver Papago below.
Translating a text through an image with Naver Papago is really easy. Just open the application, click on the camera icon and take a picture of the text to translate. Naver Papago will recognize the text and show you the translated text instantly.
The only weak point of the app is that it has 13 languages: Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Russian, German and Italian.
4. Yandex Translate
Yandex would be the Russian equivalent of Google and as such, it offers an excellent application with which to translate messages in the blink of an eye. With 95 languages at your disposal, you will hardly miss any of them, making it an excellent free alternative to the rest of the programs on the list.
Yandex Translate allows translation of text and audio messages both online and offline and, of course, translation through images.
To use this service, simply take a picture of the message to translate or upload to the application one that you already have in your phone’s camera roll. After that Yandex Translate will show you the perfectly translated message.
5. Camera Translator: Translat
Finally, we would like to recommend Camera Translator: Translate+. This excellent application offers more than 100 languages with which to translate any text that you put in front of the camera of your cell phone.
Camera Translator: Translate+ is a powerful tool capable of translating images, photos and also documents. Just take a snapshot from your mobile camera and the app will not only automatically detect the language, but it will translate all the text respecting its format and even if there are images in it.
Its only disadvantage is that if we are Android users, we will not be able to use it. You can download the application for iOS below.
The operation of Camera Translator: Translate+ is very intuitive. Simply upload the image of the text to be translated and wait for the application to review and translate it.
Once the process is finished, Camera Translator offers interesting options such as sharing the translation with other applications on your cell phone.
We hope this list will help you when translating texts with your phone’s camera.
Starting in May 2023, Apple will stop offering most of its services on older versions of iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS, with the exception of the iCloud service. What can we do?
Apple is known around the globe for its devices and the importance it gives to the ecosystem when we work with more than one. And one of the major pillars of this ecosystem is in the services that accompany our devices. Services that are essential to the user experience and that define even the operating systems and their capabilities.
These services include Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple TV+, Apple Fitness+, Apple News+, and many others. Thanks to these services, Apple can offer us a more complete user experience. Now, close to the presentation of iOS 17, and the announcement of its compatibility, at WWDC 2023, changes are coming, as we will have to say goodbye to Apple services in older versions of iOS.
What is happening with services on older devices
As of May 2023, Apple will stop offering most of its services on older versions of iOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS, except for the iCloud service. Apple services will no longer be accessible except on devices running iOS 11 through iOS 11.2.6, macOS 10.13 through macOS 10.13.3, watchOS 4 through watchOS 4.2.3 or tvOS 11 through tvOS 11.2.6.
The list of services being removed includes the App Store, Siri and Maps, as well as Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple TV+, Apple Fitness+ and Apple News+. Apple has advised that affected users may receive a notification to upgrade their devices to a newer version of the software to continue using these services.
What can I do about it and how to upgrade
Normally, when someone stays on an older version of the software, it is because the device no longer supports a newer one. What we’re talking about here, though, is specific versions within a major update. Put another way, all devices that support iOS 11 have support for iOS 11.2.6 which is required to continue accessing Apple services.
This means that unless we are talking about an iPhone 4S, a second or third generation iPad, a first generation iPad mini or a fifth generation iPod touch, we just need to upgrade. In fact, and to put some context. We are talking about devices that were introduced in 2011 and 2012, just 12 years ago.
In any case, if we have a device on iOS 11, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, watchOS 4 or tvOS 11, all we have to do is update. On iOS we simply go into Settings > General > Software Update. On macOS we go to System Preferences > Software Update. On watchOS we open the Watch app on the iPhone and go to General > Software Update. Finally, on tvOS we open Settings and go to System > Software Update.
What happens if we do not upgrade?
If we decide not to update our device, we will no longer be able to access most Apple services, including the App Store, Siri, Maps, Weather and others related to Apple One such as Apple Music, Arcade or TV+. Something not very recommendable, since being able to continue enjoying all these conveniences only requires that, with the steps we have just seen, we update our device.
The end of access to the App Store prevents you from downloading new applications or update existing ones. In addition, remember that these versions contain security improvements, so it is a top priority that devices still using these operating systems are updated.
Why Apple is making these changes
Although Apple has not explained the reasons why it is taking this measure, although the most logical reason is that the services are going to be updated and that, due to age, non-updated devices will not be able to access them. Instead of slowing down the evolution of services for the most current users, Apple would have decided to withdraw access to the oldest ones.
The move also serves as an incentive for older devices to upgrade and thus receive better security. Recall that all updates include security fixes. So much so that Apple continues to update the security of older systems, even if it has been years since they stopped receiving updates.
In any case, according to Apple data from mid-February, only 8% of iPhone users in active use were running iOS 14 or earlier. We don’t have iOS 11 data, but the percentage has to be really small. Put another way, the vast majority of users are already running the latest versions of the software and will not be affected by this change.
As we have said on many occasions, it is important to be aware of software updates to our devices. It is crucial to do so to ensure that all the Apple services we use are working properly and that the security is the safety of all our data, is as high as possible. While the change in services will only affect a small number of users still using older versions, it is important to keep in mind that technology advances rapidly and older devices will eventually lose support for newer services. In the meantime, with an update we fix the situation and can look forward to the changes coming with iOS 17.

It divides its exercises into two main groups: those designed to train the left side of the brain and those designed to make the most of the right side. Thus we will find challenges of all kinds: memory, mathematics, to recognize shapes and colors, concentration … All of them always at your fingertips in the same application.
In addition to its wide collection of exercises, Mind Games will generate a small report so that you know which areas and aspects of your mind you need to work on. With its free version you can play each of the Mind Games exercises up to a total of 3 times a day. For those who prefer to do longer training sessions, the app offers a Pro subscription that unlocks all of its restrictions. Still, it’s an excellent app for anyone who wants to exercise their brain without spending a single penny.
Finally we want to recommend Mensa Brain Training, an application to improve memory based on perception and logic games. This is a perfect application for all those who want to improve their mental capacity with fun games that always challenge their senses.
Perhaps of all the apps we have shown you, Mensa Brain Training is the one that has less support within the scientific field, but it is the most entertaining if we are looking for logic games to pass the time. This one is only available for iOS devices.
The application is free for 7 days during which it will make an assessment of your mental capacity and in what areas you need to improve. After this trial period you will need to pay to continue using the application.
We hope that our selection of free memory games for your cell phone has helped you. Train your mind daily and you will see how in no time, your brain will be as fresh and agile as it used to be.
