Nvidia's Tegra processor series has rocked the Android market, and after being the choice of different tablet manufactures(Sony, Acer and ASUS), it is being considered the ideal processor for tablet and smartphone gaming. And with it's Nvidia Tegra 3 processor out in the market, the game developers have been busy to develop games for Nvidia's beauty. Although Nvidia has it's own Tegra Zone for people to find games, the information there is not sufficient enough.

So we have decided to review the top 6 free Nvidia Tegra Games currently available in the market.

1. Dungeon Defenders: Second Wave


This is perhaps the best game available in the market, especially for Nvidia's Tegra processors. It is a class tower-defense game, but that doesn't mean that you station your defenses and just look over, but in this you have to fight yourself too with one of the 4 heroes available to you: a sorcerer, a magician, a war man and a girl with a cross bow. The main aim is to defend the Eternal Crystal as waves of enemies enter to destroy it. You get a third person view as you fight your enemies, and you can occasionally pick up different weapons and level up your fighter. 

If you have got a device with a Tegra 2 or (even better) Tegra 3 processor, this one is a must have, and there is also an Xperia version of it available in the market..

Download Dungeon Defenders: Second Wave.
Download Dungeon Defenders: Second Wave for Xperia Play.

2. Glowball: Tegra 3 Only


Glowball is really a fantastic game and would have topped our list if it had been available for devices running non-Tegra 3 processors. Yes, it is only available for Nvidia's Tegra 3 processor, but that doesn't mean that it is no good. It's graphics are brilliant, as you control the ball by tilting your tablet. But remember, anything you hit is sure to hit back. Currently only a Carnival level is available for it, while a Sea Floor Level is hoped to follow soon.

Have a Tegra 3 devic? Then don't miss this one.
Download Glowball: Tegra 3 Only.

3. SoulCraft THD


Style yourself as the Angel fighting against the deadly demons to free the world of them. SoulCraft THD gives you control of an Angel fighting with different demons along the way. Currently you have two arenas to fight against them, and each has been divided into over 10 parts, each with a different level of difficulty. And each part has 5 different missions. If you like to act the hero and free the worlds from these menacing demons, then this is a must-have for you.

Download SoulCraft THD.

4. Galaxy On Fire 2 THD


To the Space! Fight with aliens and bandits with your spaceship. This is a specially optimized version to use the power of Nvidia's Tegra processor. At first you assume the roll of Keith T Maxwell in a war torn space, with aliens invading the galaxy to wholly destroy it. Fight against them to defend the world from the aliens.

Top 10 Battery Saving Tips For Your Laptop

Tablets and huge-screen smartphones have entered the market, but still the Pc(or a Mac) is still the best thing to get some work done, or to surf the web with Facebook and your mail box open in a new tab. And for that, most people prefer laptops or ultrabooks as they are light, portable and thin. But mostly these laptops have crappy battery life. Most of the powerful laptops have poor battery life of 4-5 hours, and 4 hours only with heavy work. Even the most efficient ones(MacBook Air) have 5-7 hours of battery.

So we have come up with a list of the top 10 easy tips to save the battery life of your laptop.

Note: Most of the tips are for Windows users.

1. Turn Off Bluetooth & Wifi
First of all, turn off all of these connectivity options like Wifi and Bluetooth as they eat the battery more than any other thing. Most of the laptops don't have bluetooth but if your one does, than use it as less as possible, and turn off Wifi whenever you are not using it. This will cause your battery life to improve considerably.

2. Lower The Brightness
Lower the brightness of your laptop, as high brightness takes high power becoming a major factor in the short battery life. So keep your brightness only enough to be able watch the screen easily without straining your eyes.

3. Transfrer Programs From CD/DVD To Hard Drive

When the program you want to run is located on a CD/DVD, then transfer it to your Laptop's hard drive, because constantly reading a CD/DVD depletes battery life.

4. Don't Multitask
Multitasking is an important term which is pretty popular nowadays. But if you want to keep your laptop to keep working a little longer, than you should multitask very less when the battery is low. This will enable you to give you a few more hours before the battery dies out.

5. Tweak With The Power Settings

The default power settings of your laptop may not suit you. So you can tweak a little with the power settings to get the most out of it. This tweaking may include choosing whether to allow apps to run while the computer is idle or things like that.

6. Disconnect External Devices

Disconnect Any USBs, Fire Wires or other hardware(mouse) connected to the computer. These pieces of hardware suck the battery of your laptop, disabling it to last long enough. So it would be better to disconnect them as soon as your work is done, or you can even try to quit using most of them(like external mouse).

7. Disable Windows Aero


You might have liked those fashionable glassy effects at the borders of each window and the start menu, but if you care about battery life more than the look. Then, it is time for you to consider removing them. For removing, simply follow the steps given below,
  • Right click on the deskop.
  • Click on Personalisation.
  • Click on Windows color.
  • Uncheck "Enable transparency" .
  • Click OK
  • Choose one of the color now shown on the screen.
And you are done with it.

8. Disable Auto Save
Some programs, especially the Microsoft Office, have auto save features enabled in them which allows them to save the content as you type, without asking your permission. This do comes in handy, but like most of the other great features, it also results in loss of battery. So you can just disable the auto save feature in these programs to save your battery power.

9. Close Programs Running In The Background

While this might seem to you the true purpose of having a laptop, but if you want to use your laptop as a workstation and not as a media hub, then you have to close all those programs running in the background. For example, iTunes and Desktop search cut down on your battery life.

10. Defrag Your Laptop Frequently

And last of all, keep defraging your Laptop frequently. This might seem a lenghty process, but this does saves a lot of battery life. This makes your hard drive efficient, and results in less drainage of battery.

Top 10 Antivirus for 2012

Viruses and malware usually cause great harm to files or other programs in your computer. The best way to protect your computer from these viruses and malware is by using a good antivirus. But the biggest problem is that every new year more vicious and dangerous computer viruses are unleashed, which the older versions of an antivirus cannot handle. So it is highly advised to have an updated and newer antivirus. Updated antiviruses provide an effective virus protection.

So today we have a list of Top 10 Antivirus for 2012. These antiviruses will help you keep your computer protected and secure. Check them out!


Vipre Antivirus 4 is a new Antivirus software that boasts a really efficient and lightweight scanning engine. While it is really good in efficiency, it does not provide great protections against phishing, spam and identity theft protection.


Avira Antivirus Premium is good in both, protection and performance. It has Advanced Heuristics Analysis and Detection (AHeAD) system, which can sometimes flag non-malware incorrectly.


Trend Micro have just revamped their software. Trend Micro Titanium Antivirus + 2012 provides fast and lightweight protection against viruses and malware and even utilizes cloud technology to give real-time updates to your software. But still, it is not really great in providing defense against spam and phishing, and this thing makes it fall behing others.

McAfee has been one of the most famous antivirus of all times. McAffee Antivirus Plus 2012 provides amazing protection against Viruses, Trojans, spyware and other threats. The thing which makes it fall behind its competitors is its lack of password protection and a not good defence against keyloggers.

AVG is another extremely famous name in the antivirus market. AVG Antivirus 2012 boasts amazing malware protection, continual updates, LinkScanner technology and Social Media Protection. All these things make it one of the best antivirus out there. However, the awesome protection will effect the speed of your PC.

ESET Nod32 Antivirus 5 provides really sophisticated diagostic tools, heuristic detection and almost slowdown of your PC. This antivirus provides exceptional protection for a very good price. The only downer of this antivirus is its inept and outdated user interface.

Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus 2012 is a new and cloud-based antivirus that provides a fast and effective protection against various types of malware. It offers lightning-fast scans, minimal system resource usage, automatic updates and free technical support. All these things make this antivirus one of the best of this year. Totally outstanding!

Norton is yet another extremely famous and widely used antivirus. This year Norton Antivirus again comes with exceptional security, a light footprint and amazing technical support. So Norton Antivirus 2012 is one of top antivirus for year 2012.


Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012 comes at number two on our list for a reason. It provides exceptional virus and malware protection at 100% success rate. It boasts an outstanding scanning of your system that keeps the threats away from your system. It is a comprehensive, always up-to-date antivirus that makes sure you are always protected and secure. The only downer is its price tag -- but keeping in mind the great performance it delivers, this price can be totally worth it.

BitDefender Antivirus Plus 2012 is number one on our list. It is definitely the best antivirus of 2012. It boasts an outstanding, award-winning combination of high level virus and malware protections, social media defense, and comprehensive updates to make sure that your system is always protected. Some of the features that make BitDefender Antivirus Plus 2012 unbeatable and the best antivirus of 2012 are its new Virtualized Browser, Rescue Mode and Scan Dispatcher.
