My new phone charges via USB 7 inch android tablet so I gained a generic wall plug charger that accepts a standard A-type USB plug. Huzzah not only can I charge my phone, but also my wireless controller accessories headset and my PS3 controller without having to leave the PS3 Controller on.It charges the phone of course, and PS3 repair my Sony PS3 wireless headset; what it won't charge is the controller. Nothing wrong with the cable, nothing wrong with the controller.

While the main character in the new action title Warp from Trapdoor may look cute and cuddly, don?t be fooled. The alien known simply as Zero is a deadly being that has the ability to warp through walls and into objects? including his human captors. Kidnapped in the name of science, Zero is trapped in an underwater laboratory and seeks to escape and return home.
Take a look at some of the gameplay in the official trailer above then keep reading for Geek.com?s mini-review.
Having logged a few hours playing Warp, I can say that it certainly is a fun title. The game reminds me of a mash-up between classic Splinter Cell and any of the third person Super Mario games that have been released over the years. With Zero?s warping ability, you can choose whether you want to stealth your way to the finish of each level, or you can take the ?kill ?em all? approach, which is equally as challenging. Add in the fact that the title is a platformer that contains obstacles that rely heavily on button timing to clear, and you have a game that is both challenging and entertaining.
Along with the main storyline, there are challenges that are peppered throughout the laboratory to add an additional layer of gameplay. Much like the Comet Challenges you find in Super Mario Galaxy 2, these levels are tougher to master and will entertainingly frustrate completionist gamers ?who have the need to finish everything in the game.
While the graphics and the NPC actions aren?t mind-blowing, they really just window dressing for the obstacles you must navigate to win. Non-threats to your characterm like the lab?s scientists, will simply cower in a corner and act scared, which gets fairly?repetitive. Far more challenging and entertaining are the soldiers that will try to shoot and kill you on sight (which they are quite good at) and the level bosses that use a variety of methods to wipe you out of?existence.
When it comes to upgrading Zero?s powers and abilities, Warp employs a store mechanic to balance the game experience. Scattered throughout the game are ?grubs,? little formations of protoplasm-looking items that you need to collect as you go. Stationed along your path in the game are various computer terminals in which you can buy upgrades and powerups using the collected grubs like currency. Of course, gathering every single grub in the game is difficult, as some require some inventive maneuvering.
Of the two methods of game strategy that can be used, I found a mix between a full frontal assault and stealth to work best for my style of play. Killing humans in the game consists of warping Zero into their bodies, then moving the analog stick (I use a 360 controller connected to my PC) rapidly to cause my target to explode. It?s pretty satisfying to witness, especially if you have been trying to stealth your way through an area only to be blown away over and over again.
At $9.99 you really can?t go wrong with buying this title. It is an entertaining game, and if you enjoy overcoming challenging obstacles then you certainly won?t be sorry laying down the coin to get it.
Warp is available on Origin as well as Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network.
