Dead Defense Now Available for iPhone & iPad
The Dead Defense is now available for all existing iOS devices. It is basically a typical Tower Defense game where you must use a range of special abilities and towers to defeat the waves of different bosses and monsters. The controls are very easy and simple, but the gameplay could be a kind of difficult. The game doesn’t give you enough time between the waves to set up your own towers, and too many various kinds of monsters come at you from different sides.
It takes a few seconds for the each tower to be upgraded or built, making it a little hard to adjust on fly and learn the layout of each stage. And let me tell you about restart button that it’s going to be your best friend in this nifty game.
When you’re playing this game, you should pay close attention to the tutorial and learn about the individual tower’s skills before you begin the game. There is no comprehensive information that can help you along the way. Tapping the tower’s icon during the game doesn’t bring up its individual statistics, and tapping a power up icon will bring you to an in app purchase display if you don’t have sufficient crystals to use it.
Not having too much time to set your defense strategy, and not having simple access to the individual tower’s info can set Dead Defense extremely frustrating.
The Dead Defense is not really for the Plants vs. Zombies crowd, but the serious TD lovers will likely enjoy trying to overcome it. The game comes with a plenty of stimulating monsters and wonders to keep it interesting.
For instance, the creeps do not always follow the same path that will compel you to alter your plan many times. The game also comes with flying and reviving monsters which will make you want to tweak your hair out.
The Dead Defense is now available for absolutely free from the AppStore. It supports iPhone 4, 4S, 5 and iPod touch (3rd , 4th and 5th generation) iPad and iPad mini too.

iPhone vs. Android In The User Loyalty Contest
As the iPhone vs. Android debate continues, the users of Apple’s iconic product can give themselves a point for the loyalty.
According to the consumer intelligence research partners (CIRP), The iPhone users are more loyal to their products than the Android users are, All Things D stated.
One year study found that the 81% of the iPhone users purchased another iPhone, while only 68% of the Android users stayed with the Android.
There were approximately 3 times as many the Android users that switched to the iPhone as there were iPhone users that switched to the Android. In that period, the Apple was able to nab 20% of its customers from the Android while the Android was only able to convert 7% of the iPhone users. Even when the Android user switches over to the iPhone, there’s a better chance the users will continue to stick with the iPhone devices in the future, the study exposed.
Why are the iPhone users more loyal than the Android users?
‘’We think the loyalty is a product of comfort with the platform which meets a consumer’s requirements, and belief that the platform will continue to meet their requirements better than any other,’’ Josh Lowitz (the CIRP co-founder) told All Things D. The Lowitz also thinks that the iPhone are more constantly satisfying. All iPhones are same as they’re all manufactured by the Apple; though, for Android, many different manufacturers mean features will be diverse from developer to developer.
The launch of 2 products is also taken into the consideration. It looks that the Android has a new ‘’main’’ phone to hit the shelves every few months such the Nexus 4, Samsung Galaxy S4, and Moto X. But the Apple has released only one new iPhone each year.
While the iPhone vs. Android battle will still go on in the coffee shops and the social circles, the iPhone users can claim the loyalty factor as the point of pride.
