TouchArcade Rating:One game that has had a constant presence on my iPhone for nearly 6 years now is PAKO – Car Chase Simulator (Free) from developer Tree Men Games. The quick pitch is that you control a car that has no brakes and is stuck on full acceleration, and all you can do is steer left or right to try and avoid running into any obstacles while simultaneously outrunning an increasingly aggressive police pursuit. It’s just one of those games that works really well on a touchscreen due to its

When it comes to TV, there's no better show that combines the gore and thrills of a zombie movie with the political plotting and intrigue of Game of Thrones than Netflix's Kingdom, which just returned with a second season.Picking up right where we left
