"Oh death, where is thy sting?" reads the oft-quoted cry from Corinthians.
"Right here, in this swordfish the size of a BMW 4 Series Coupé," replies Obslashin's hero, swinging his fishy weapon like a steroidal New Yorker at the slew of monsters that roam the expansive dungeons of this free to play frenzy.
Now if gladiatorial marine life seems like an odd choice of weaponry, prepare your eyeb...
Updated on November 13rd, at 8:34: XCOM: Enemy Within is now available to download on both iOS and Android. It's a 2.8GB download and costs £8.99 / $13.99.
We'll have a full review soon.
Original story follows…
The iOS and Android versions of alien extermination sim XCOM: Enemy Unknown will be getting the Enemy Within expansion pack tomorrow - but as a new standalone app, rather tha...
Ustwo's gorgeous, mind-bending puzzle game Monument Valley just received a massive new update that almost doubles the length of the game, with the addition of eight extra levels.
These bonus stages feature entirely new concepts like water, upside down sections, spiralling walkways, and gusts of wind. So you might need a helping hand working through them.
As ever, this guide is intended for t...
Munch Time 2 will see the return of the tongue-swinging chameleon when it's released in 2015. And this time he has an open world to explore.
When Munch Time came out in 2012, it fell in among a bunch of other physics-based platformers with cute animals just like it. That's what let it down in our review - it was passé.
But Munch Time 2 might escape that criticism as it's a metroidvania, and ...
Adding Star Wars into the tower defence genre mix is an odd choice.
There aren't actually that many towers in the entire canon of Star Wars, and they certainly don't play a pivotal role in any scene from the series - or at least not from what I can recall about the six main movies.
But there must be a good reason to make a TD game out of this cherished licence, beyond just the potential for ...
Flyhunter Origins leaps like a hunter with a net onto iOS tonight. We presume that it will also make an appearance on Android tomorrow too, but we don't know at this point.
It's an action platformer that we took a hands-on look at when at Gamescom last year.
It excels in its animation due to being made by people who have worked, or still do work, at Pixar. At the time, the rest of the game's...
Android-powered gaming devices are pretty common these days, and we've seen some good - and not so good - examples of how Google's OS can be harnessed to create rivals to traditional portable systems.
Leading the pack right now is the Nvidia Shield: a device which combines a dedicated gaming interface with powerful hardware.
However, even this year-old device might prove to be too expensive ...
The iOS and Android versions of alien extermination sim XCOM: Enemy Unknown will be getting the Enemy Within expansion pack tomorrow - but as a new standalone app, rather than an update.
At its heart, this is largely the same game as last year's, which sees you defending the earth from an alien invasion by managing resources, launching satellites, researching weapons, and commanding tactica...
Agent, Run! is an interesting auto-runner that's out right now for iPad and iPhone. Rather than poking the screen to move the secret agent hero, you're tapping and swiping to change the environment.
You might need to slice down hanging bones to stop dogs from chasing you, drag open doors so you don't smash into them, or swipe hooks to fire out your grapple line to swing over mine fields.

Plants vs Zombies 2 has been updated again. This time it's another sand and sea themed expansion called Big Wave Beach Part 2.
The update features three new zombies, including an Octopus zombie, and three new plants, including the seed spitting Guacodile.
There are 16 new levels as well. Which is quite a lot of new levels I guess. Dr Zomboss will also surface in his Zombot Sharktronic Su...
Blizzard has successfully sued Chinese dev Unico for, to all intents and purposes, copying Hearthstone. You can see a screenshot from the offending game, Crouching Dragon Legends, above.
Unico has stated publicly that it has received no communication from the court telling it to pay the $1.6 million in damages, and that it is discussing with its lawyers about options to take against news ou...
Endless Doves, Nitrome's ever-lasting follow-up to 8bit Doves, has just crashed onto the App Store. We expect it'll be hitting the Play Store sometime soon as well.
Once again you're controlling a sleeping man who's swooping through a gorgeously realised Gameboy-hued world. This time rather than getting from A to B though, you're trying to collect as many of the titular doves as possible.
...
Random Heroes and its sequel Random Heroes 2 were both solid run 'n guns, nabbing a Gold and Silver Award from Pocket Gamer, respectively.
The third installment of the series, the predictably named Random Heroes 3, was announced in September with a few early screenshots.
Now, the game has an announcement trailer and a release date.
Expect to see it on the App Store and Google Play this Th...
When it comes to deciding on a new smartphone, there are essentially two basic choices for the avid pocket gamer: an iPhone or an Android phone.
Yes, we know about Windows Phone. It’s pretty slick, but it’s not very good for games. What’s that? 'BlackBerry,' you say? You’re funny.
Things get a little more complicated when it comes to deciding which specific device to get. Sure, there are onl...
Burly Men At Sea may give the initial impression of being rugged and tough, but it's far from.
Its colours are light and friendly, its graphics are curvy, and it's actually quite cute-looking.
It has to be, as this is the signature style of husband-and-wife team BrainBrain. That's the team who previously gave us charming adventure game Doggins.
This time around the dreams and space antic...
Tapventures strips away most of the adventuring that we're accustom to in RPGs, and makes do with tapping.
You tap the screen to fight enemies. Then you tap some more. More still. Just keep tapping. Yep.
This repetitive task may seem a little shallow. Perhaps it is, but Tapventures uses the power of the unlock loop and incremental progression to keep you hooked.
As you defeat enemies, you...
King has released free to play match-3 puzzler Candy Crush Soda Saga worldwide on iOS and Android as of today.
You don't need me to tell you this, but Soda Saga is the sequel to the enormously popular Candy Crush Saga.
It has over 135 levels (with more to come) of candy matching and new purple soda that switches up the direction of play. It also has five new game modes, as listed below:

Horror game sequel Five Nights At Freddy's 2 has just been released on PC. It seems it will be coming to mobile as well soon enough.
This is based on a tweet from the game's creator Scott Cawthorn that simply says "soon." This is his answer as to when Five Nights At Freddy's 2 will be released on iOS, you see.
He followed this up with another tweet that reads "Yes the game will be going to m...
With the upcoming Checkpoint Champion, new developer Protostar is showing confidence in bite-sized arcade racing form.
It's all about small, time-based challenges that mostly involve driving through shiny stars representing checkpoints. The focus here is in skill, handling, and showing tenacity.
If you don't get a challenge done in time on the first attempt you're going to return again and ...
If your abode resides in the US of A, Chukong Technologies has quite the treat in store for you: two Android classics on one nifty little micro USB drive.
Which games, you ask? Why, tip-top MMORPG brawler Chaos Fighters and sci-fi puzzler Cosmic Crash.
To nab both games and the teeny tiny drive they're stored on, all you need do is pinky promise you're over 18, have a postal address in t...
