Bike Life is an endless riding game co-developed by Meek Mill and IM3 Gaming Studios. The game takes place in Meek Mill’s hometown of Philadelphia and is meant to represent street bike culture. Players perform extreme bike stunts, compete against other players, and collect coins to upgrade their characters’ bike gear. While playing the game, players listen to exclusive music by Meek Mill and engage with other celebrities.

The Executive

The Executive is a fast-paced action game developed by Riverman Media LLC. In The Executive, players take on the role of a CEO whose mining company has been invaded by werewolves, and it’s the CEO’s job to save all of the employees before the werewolves get to them first. Players have to use their best fighting tactics, as they battle more than 50 enemies, each with their own strengths and weakness. The Executive features 120 levels of non-stop action and intense fights. If you’re a fan of Street Fighter II and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, you’ll absolutely love this game.

Amazing Stairs

Amazing Stairs is an arcade game developed by App Cow. In the same vein as games like Flappy Bird and Timberman, players are challenged to see how far they can climb up the endless sequence of stairs in a limited amount of time. Once players get acquainted with the touch controls, it gets a lot easier to obtain a much higher score. The game does incorporate incredibly disruptive ads, but the most addicted players may not be too bothered by them.

Escape

Escape is an arcade game developed by Ketchapp. In this fast-paced game, players need to quickly take control of their rocket, which is traveling through a world of destruction. Players must save all of their frightened passengers, while buildings collapse and mountains sink into the ground. Be careful though, because if your rocket touches a building when it collapses or hits the ground, all of your passengers will die.

Halo: Spartan Strike

Japanese website Macotakara has shared images of what it claims to be the “3D printed mockup” of the upcoming iPhone SE. Once again, we are greeted by a familiar design that is nigh identical to the iPhone 14, something that has also been reported by Bloomberg.

Apple is once again prepping to overhaul the iPhone portfolio next year, and it seems a lot of interesting upgrades are on their way. The most notable among those is apparently the introduction of a new iPhone 17 "slim" model, which some rumors are also referring to as the “Air” trim.

So far, leaks have focused on the phone’s dramatic aesthetic makeover. Specifically, it could be the slimmest iPhone ever made. Moreover, it will make a stark departure from the current design language at Apple. And if the renders floating around social media are to be believed, an all-metal build is on the horizon.
