Overkill 3, the less gun-porny, more shooty bang-bang sequel, isn't going to come out this year.
But don't get all sad and downbeat and think everything is over, Craneballs is taking the extra time to make the game better. As you'd sort of expect.
It's taking the extra time to play around with the tutorial, make sure the 30 or so levels it's already built are of the highest standard, and...
Narborion Saga is the latest in a long line of gamebook adventures that have been popping up on the App Store and the Google Play Store.
This one isn't based on a classic from the physical heyday of the genre though, it's set in a fantasy world built from scratch. And it sort of shows. The build we've played is a little clunky in places, and could do with a proof read.
That's not to say ther...
There's a companion app out right now for Assassin's Creed Unity. It's called the Assassin's Creed Unity App, but it should really be called Appassin's Creed Unity. It's more streamlined.
You get the usual companion app fare here. There's an interactive 3D map, and a database of the gear and equipment you can unlock, but there's also some reasonably interesting stuff thrown in too.
A hea...
The fourth and final episode of Joe Dever's Lone Wolf, Dawn over V'Taag, is set to hit the App Store the Google Play Store on November 20th.
That's a week on Thursday if you want to write it down on your calendar.This act will wrap up the story started way back when at the beginning of the year.

Updated on November 10th 2014 at 21:10: Endless Doves will be out this week, and not next week as this article states.
We got the information slightly later than intended, hence the mix up. It will more than likely be available on Thursday, 13th November in that case.
Original story follows...
Nitrome will be releasing Endless Doves next week on iOS and Android.
As you might guess from...
Nitrome has been teasing its next big game with short, perplexing video clips.
No, this isn't the upcoming Endless Doves, which we've already covered - this is something else entirely.
We're told that it's a "bigger title than 8bit Doves… more like Icebreaker though possibly that's overreaching," Nitrome told us.
We don't know much else about it at the moment, and the videos offer lit...
Nitrome will be releasing Endless Doves next week on iOS and Android.
As you might guess from that title, it's a follow-up to the Bronze Award-winning 8bit Doves, except this time the bird-collecting is endless.
Just the same, you'll tap the sides of the screen to fly your bird in arcs through tight spaces and bigger, open areas. As you go, you'll collect smaller birds that fly in a line alo...
Cast your mind back to Apple's 2013 keynote and you might remember something called Anki Drive. It was a sort of Scalextric of the future, which used your iPhone as the controller, and computer AI instead of slots to keep the cars on the tracks.
It's now out in shops - it's actually been available for some time - but in the run up to Christmas we decided to get our hands on it and see wheth...
The Journey of Alvin is so pleasant that I had to share it despite it not being usual Pocket Gamer fare.
It's an interactive narrative journey based on true events, ones that supposedly influenced film director David Lynch (Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks).
You follow Alvin on his old mower, which he uses to travel 400 miles to go see his brother. Everything you see and do is based upon what A...
According to a tweet from Mojang dev Johan Bernhardsson, the latest build of Minecraft - Pocket Edition, 0.10.0 will be submitted to Apple for approval on Tuesday, which means it should be out pretty soon.
The headline changes include support for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, and a day / night cycle in the creative chunk of the game. You can build fences and fence gates as well, if that's the so...
Massive strategy game Civilization Revolution 2 has finally made the arduous journey from iOS to Android. So if you're a Google-powered player, now's your chance to find out how long your empire would last.
The game doesn't quite have the gargantuan scale of its PC inspiration, but it still lets you push for economic or cultural victories, rather than just expecting you to build the best ar...
Contract Killer: Sniper is the latest instalment in Glu's Contract Killer series, and I must confess that, even though I wasn't a massive fan of the previous entry, this new one has me intrigued.
I assumed that the focus would be much more on pure sniping, but as I've already seen in my hands-on video, that isn't the case - Killer comes with assault weapons and a base building element too.

Let There Be Life might just be the most peaceful game there is.
Originally released on PC earlier this year, the simple, puzzle-like nature simulator is now on iOS and Android for £1.49 / $1.99.
Your goal in the game is to nurture a tree into a thriving mass of leafy branches.
The branchier your tree gets, the more shadow it'll cast on the forest floor, which is a problem for the flowers...

Want a bite size recap of the last seven days in Pocket Gamer land? Well, I think I could be encouraged to write that for you. Lemme see what I can rustle up.

As we wave goodbye to another week, and prepare to lay waste to the weekend ahead, you're probably thinking one thing, and one things only: I can't wait to clap eyes on PocketGamer.biz's beautiful Week That Was.
Well, we hear you, and this week there's plenty to sink your teeth into.
This week, there was controversy aplenty, with Kim Kardashian: Hollywood developer Glu revealing it plans on ...
A new update has been released for Dungeon Hunter 4 on iOS and Android.
The expansion, called Descending Depths, adds new bosses, three extra dungeons, new armor, and an entirely new event type called Burdens.
Howling Canyon, The Dig Site, and Chapel of Whispers make up the new dungeons, each chock full of new enemies like reanimated vipers and crystal lizards.
Our review of Dungeon Hunte...
Kriophobia is an upcoming survival horror game with fixed camera angles. That's pretty rare these days.
Considering that, it shouldn't be a surprise that developer Fira Game is hoping to recreate the atmosphere of classics in the genre. We're talking Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and Alone In The Dark here.
One element that isn't taken from those classics is the tank controls. Rather than havi...
One of my favourite games of last year was One Finger Death Punch. I'm rather chuffed to find out that it's heading to mobile real soon, then.
Yep, we're a little late to this news, actually. Developer Silver Dollar Games announced the mobile port two months ago on its Facebook page.
"One Finger Death Punch is coming to mobile thanks to the talented team at Tangent. The game will first be re...
Ustwo has revealed that the expansion for the Gold Award-winning puzzler Monument Valley called "Forgotten Shores" will be available on iOS from November 13th onwards.
It will be coming to Android soon after but an exact date has not been given yet.
Forgotten Shores adds eight new chapters to the game, meaning that the game's content is nearly doubled.
As can be seen in the video abo...
