Connect with people face-to-face with Hangouts, Google's newly released update to its Talk service. The app lets you have video chats with as many as 10 people ? just like its web-based counterpart. We've also got an update to the Diapers.com Android app, which makes it easy for parents to order baby supplies from their mobile devices. Today's game pick is Fixie Joe, which sends players on a classic run-and-jump platforming romp through a haywire robotics factory.

What?s cool? Google Hangouts has been a thing for a while now for web users of Google's many services, but it's only now available for most Android users. The app is all about interacting with other people, allowing you to participate in group video calls with as many as 10 people in total, and you can bring in elements like photo collections and more to your interactions. The app also lets you initiate chats with your friends and leave them messages even if they're not online, with additional elements like emoji available to augment the interaction.
Who?s it for? People interested in lots of communication capabilities with friends should grab the refreshed Hangouts.

What?s cool? Fixie Joe harkens back to games like Super Mario Bros., sending players on a side-scrolling adventure through a strange world, where the major mechanics are careful, skillful jumping. In each of the game's 10 levels, you're tasked with collecting nuts and various tools in order to help Joe repair the robots and fix things up, and the entire experience culminates in a huge boss battle with a giant robot. There's also a score system that gauges your performance in each stage, giving you an incentive to go back and try to play better a second or third time.
Who?s it for? If you like old-school platformers, check out Fixie Joe.
What?s it like? Other great platformers include League of Evil and Rayman Jungle Run.
