practically any media file in your library and also comes with a ton of third-party plugins for additional content it's worth a shot especially for those of you who use your devices to hook up to your TV slugterra dark waters is an action-adventure shooter where you must avoid obstacles kill bad guys and solve puzzles to make it through the various levels the game comes with 13 levels currently and there are even dual arenas to play in it's a tap to play game which isn't preferable for an adventure game but you do have to move around quite a bit it's a fun little time waster that is free to download right now with dragon ball z dokkan battle is a new title out of Bandai Namco and as the title suggests there are a ton of Dragon Ball Z things there it's a hybrid game that's part board game in part fighting game with a little bit of puzzle game thrown in for good measure it is heavily based around the story not unlike the TV show so there will be a lot of dialogue it's free to play and it's pretty decent especially for Dragon Ball Z fans Microsoft hyperlapse is a camera application that got a lot of press not long ago when it was released in beta essentially this application takes a
