Nokia's Supernova series continues to grow each year with various handsets usually targeting people looking for a stylish mid-budget mobile phone.

Gears of War 2 was a game backed up quite heavily by both its developer, Epic Games, and its publisher, Microsoft. It was the sequel to one of the best-selling titles made for the Xbox 360 and at the time it was released it was already enjoying a very massive and loyal fan base that would surely buy it. However, although Gears of War 2 sold extremely well, managing to move over 4 million units in just a few months, fans didn't really like what they'd received. The game, despite the fact that it managed...
