Microsoft releases its unified Office app for Android

[ad_1] There are some catches. As Android Police warned, the current Android app isn’t optimized for tablets or Chromebooks. You can’t even use it in landscape mode. The iOS equivalent to the app is also nowhere to be seen at this point. We’ve asked Microsoft if it can elaborate on its plans. This could still […]

E3 2020 registration opens February 15 at 11AM ET

[ad_1] Be sure to temper your expectations accordingly. It’s no secret that Sony won’t be there, for instance.

[ad_1] At the same time, Capy will add a new “explore” mode to the game that will let you experience Below‘s beautiful and atmospheric world without putting up with its sometimes crushing and tedious difficulty.
