The 1998 LucasArts classic Grim Fandango is being remade for the 21st century.

The game's been updated with new high-res textures and lighting, but all that really matters — the story — has been untouched. Check out the remastered version above.

By this stage, I think we've all more or less accepted that 'wearable technology' means something like a watch or glasses or ring or earpiece that measures your heartbeat and talks to your phone. But this memo unfortunately hasn't reached certain fashion brands.

Palm tree, volcano, hospital: How to enable emoji on any Android phone

New trailer goes behind the scenes of the upcoming SimCity BuildIt for iPhone and iPad

A new trailer takes us behind the scenes at the making of SimCity BuildIt, the upcoming urban planning simulation game that's due for release before the end of 2014 for the iPhone and iPad, among other platforms.

The trailer, narrated by EA Mobile's leader Jason Willig, shows off a bunch of footage from SimCity BuildIt, which really does look impressive with full 3D views of the cities. In addition to the familiar SimCity features like road and building construction, utility maintenance and disasters, SimCity BuildIt will introduce the idea of crafting goods and resources that can be used by the player or traded with others.

It sounds like the game will be a free-to-play title when it launches, but hopefully the "freemium" business model won't be a requirement for playing and enjoying most of SimCity BuildIt.
