Review of the Week

I would like to first of all, apologise for the delay of this post. I've been very busy so yeah, really sorry about that. Anyway, let's see what's been happening this week:

Google News - A telling off for Microsoft (sort of):
While this may be of no surprise to some of us (especially as Microsoft aren't doing that well anyway), Google has blocked the Windows Phone version of their YouTube app due to a volition of terms. Google have stated that Microsoft haven't got the necessary software available for a YouTube experience. In response, Microsoft have sort of apologised for this and are working around the clock to fix it. Considering that Microsoft aren't doing so well as it is, they really need to start thinking about these things, rather than just put it out, out of the blue. In related news, the new Google Maps may feature some British icons like the Tardis from Doctor Who (with a chance to explore it) and the Stig from Top Gear.

And in a round up of the week's news, a Castle of Illusion HD remake is coming to consoles next month by SEGA, Doctor Who gets his own Mr Potato Head toy after several years of waiting, Star Wars to possibly feature the ghosts of Obi-Wan and Palpatine in Episode VII and UbiSoft are surprised with the amount of pre-orders for AC4 and Watch Dogs on PS4 and Xbox One.

That's all for this week, so here are the week's film and video game releases:
