Here's a great fact to make you feel old on a dreary Monday morning. The very first Worms game came out 19 years ago today.
But fret not, because Team 17 has put a bunch of classic invertebrate strategy games on sale on the App Store and the Google Play Store to celebrate the never-ending passage of time.
And, because we're good to you, we've put together a list of the games on sale with...
The sequel to Gold Award-winning horror game Five Nights At Freddy's has just landed on the Google Play Store, bringing with it some new additions to the security camera-watching template laid down by its predecessor.
You're still swapping between security camera feeds, checking for the movement of those internal creatures, but it's not about making blockades anymore.
Rather than slammin...
Team17 Software is putting on a sale to celebrate 19 years of Worms games.
That means Worms 3, among other cartoonish, yet tactical artillery games from Team17, is on sale now for 69p / 99c on iOS and Android.
This is down from its usual price of £2.99 / $4.99, so it's a pretty good deal.
Worms 3 earned a Silver Award from us last year for its solid multiplayer and entertaining campaign m...
Every week, Pocket Gamer provides a weekly digest of the most important and popular stories from these digital pages.
This has been one of the craziest weeks in a long time for mobile games.
We had the long-awaited comic book caper Framed, which had a surprise launch on iOS this week. We've started on a walkthrough to the game's tricky panel shuffling puzzles.
And there was XCOM: Enemy Wi...
With the Samsung Developer Conference 2014 in full swing, you won't be surprised to find that some of this week's big hitters come from San Francisco.
PocketGamer.biz events editor, George Osborn, was our man on the ground, and, like a news seeking missile, he didn't miss a beat as Samsung looked to make a splash in the world of wearables.
Indeed, the mobile manufacturer made its focus on we...
Microids has released a freemium version of its old point-and-click adventure game Syberia - Part 1 on Android.
The game was released on Android last year and is still available for £4.99 / $6.99.
This freemium version simply gives you a part of the game for free to try out. It's a demo, really. If you want the full version after that, you can get it through a £4.99 / $6.99 IAP.
We weren...
Every Friday, Pocket Gamer offers hands-on impressions of the week's three best new Android games.
Jet Car Stunts 2
By True Axis - download on Android (Free)
There are moments in Jet Car Stunts 2 during which you realise you're going to crash into something very hard, and it's funny.
You laugh because you're driving a frickin' sports car that's being pushed through the air by a jet ...
If you were paying attention earlier this week you would know that Nitrome has been releasing short teaser trailers for its next big game.
Today, Nitrome released the third and final of those teasers, and you can watch it above.
After a little message from soft beverage company Brickcola, the teaser turns into an advert for an event called "Mega Monsterbrick Rumble Mania."
This is, pr...
Yeah, it missed Halloween, but the lo-fi point-and-click game The Last Door: Collector's Edition is now out on Android.
It should also be available on iOS but it seems that it's not, at least at the time of writing it isn't.
Anyway, the game is set in a spooky Victorian world inspired by the creepy tales of H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allen Poe.
You follow Jeremiah Devitt as he pursues ...
Nvidia has revealed that its super-powerful Android gaming slate the Nvidia Shield Tablet, is set to be updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop on November 18th.
You can check out some of the cool new features the latest version of Google's OS will bring to the slick tablet by reading our feature right here.
The update will also bring full access to Nvidia's Grid game streaming service, and an u...
The first trailer has arrived for TellTale's upcoming point-and-click adventure Tales from the Borderlands. You can see it up there. Go on, have a gander then come back down here and we'll talk details.
It certainly looks like it's full of the series's trademark humour, more-so even than the RPG / FPS hybrids that have inspired it.
The game is set after Borderlands 2, and there are two p...
We've all been there. Lying in bed, anxious about waking up in time for an important event.
Finally drifting off to sleep… only to have a tiny version of yourself emerge from your head, step into your alarm clock and launch into outer space to complete increasingly tricky challenges. Right?
No? Well, good thing I'm not alone, as Bart Bonte has gone and made a game simulating this bizarre con...
Bronze Award-winning ridiculous racer Jet Car Stunts 2 has finally managed to pull of the necessary trick to land it on the Google Play Store, meaning Android players can finally get their hands on the super-tough twisty action.
The game plays a lot like a terrifying engine-powered platformer. You've got stunts to perform, and a track made of barely connected chunks of colour to perform the...
Yesterday we held one of our Big Indie Pitch events at Apps World in London. For those who aren't in the know, these are essentially speed-dating events for developers and journalists.
Devs get three minutes to pitch their game to a table of journos or other industry figures, then someone honks a horn and they shift around to the next table and make the pitch again.
Once all the pitches have...
A game about building versions of model kits is, you'd think, the sort of project that might be birthed by the hipster hive mind of Shoreditch.
However Monzo is not the work of espresso-addled developers who flunked their art foundation and are now coding to fund their moustache wax habit; it's made by Madfinger.
For the uninitiated, this is the studio that gave us Dead Trigger - a game full...
Born Ready Games has released its big space action game Strike Suit Zero on Android today.
It's not for all Android devices, mind. It's powered by the NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor, so you'll need either the NVIDIA SHIELD tablet, or something close to it.
This requirement isn't too surprising when you consider that Strike Suit Zero was originally released on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
It's not v...
Pixelbite Games's Silver Award-winning Reckless Racing 3 has had its first price drop despite having been released only a month ago.
Rather than £2.99 / $4.99, it's currently £1.99 / $2.99 on iOS and Android.
If you're a fan of the Reckless Racing series then you've probably already bought it. But if you haven't, this limited-time discount is begging you to.
For those not familiar with ...
Ustwo released the Forgotten Realms expansion for its Gold Award-winning, perception-bending iOS puzzler Monument Valley yesterday.
We loved Monument Valley, and were excited to play the eight new chapters, as were many others.
But it seems that were also plenty of people who were more upset than joyful about the expansion. This was due to it costing £1.49 / $1.99, rather than being free.

Ossian Studios has announced that its Silver Award-winning RPG The Shadow Sun will be "coming soon" to Android.
Unfortunately, a more precise idea of when the game might arrive on Android wasn't issued.
This shouldn't be too painful if you're among those who have been beta-testing the game on Android since April this year.
If you aren't among that selected bunch of people then find one a...
XCOM: Enemy Within is an expansion pack for XCOM: Enemy Unknown - not a sequel or a spin-off, despite arriving as a separate, full-price app.
So it's still the same taut strategy game about fighting turn-based battles against aliens before returning to base to research new weapons, launch satellites, build labourites, and sort out the world's ET problem.
And it has the same story, same missi...
