Square Enix is releasing Final Fantasy VII G-Bike in Japan for iOS and Android on October 30th.
The news comes from the latest issue of Japanese magiazine Famitsu.
As a reminder, G-Bike is based on the combat biking mini-game in Final Fantasy VII.
You play as Cloud riding on a motorcycle as he takes out enemies with his sword, which expends Materia - Final Fantasy VII's energy source...
I can understand playing with Neeko's rubbery hair follicles, and tickling its pudgy belly, but why would you shove your finger around its gob?
This is a question that came to me while watching the trailer for Neeko, which is the virtual pet game starring this blobby orange monster.
I then found out that the answer is that Neeko has some annoying bugs inside and around him that you need to g...
Critics of the game of basketball point to a scoring system that verges on the meaningless, and to a lack of inherent depth covered over by glitzy streetwise presentation.
They're wrong, of course, but Rival Stars Basketball doesn't help such perceptions by leaving itself open to just such criticisms.
Whole new ball game
Rival Stars Basketball's issues are nothing to do with the sport of ...
New on Kickstarter is a game called Target Acquired, which sees developer TouchTen Games trying to hit as many of the internet's collective interests as possible.
It has a Japanese cat policewoman as a main character, for example, which should send a cat-loving otaku wild (and there are surely many of those on the internet).
TouchTen also points to the fact that the team creating Target...

Downloads of the Pandemic-like virus simulator Plague Inc. have been boosted in recent weeks, amongst the fervour surrounding the Ebola virus.
According to MailOnline, downloads in the last week were 50 percent greater than the week before. Not the biggest bump the game's ever seen, says creator James Vaughan, but "I think this is the first time a real world situation has been the reason wh...
Addictive zig-zagging face-melter Wave Wave has been completely overhauled in its latest update - on iOS now, and coming eventually to Android.
It's still an impossibly hard game about darting through a gauntlet of spiky triangles while the camera spins and trance music pelts your ear drums. But it now has new visuals, different tracks, and more modes.
The new Wave Wave also lets you rec...
Rise of Nations developer Big Huge Games has been brought back from the dead, and has announced a new iOS and Android game called DomiNations.
It sounds a lot like Civilization. The game lets you choose a nation, unlock new technologies, build the Wonders of the World, recruit famous generals, and advance through the eras from the Stone Age to the Space Age.
And to help out, Civilization...
The dragons are under attack from thieves who want to steal their crystals, and it's your job to stop them!
Epic Dragons is a colorful tower defense game set in a bright, cartoonish fantasy world, recently released by Crescent Moon Games and available for free on Google Play.
Like any standard tower defense, you'll be planting an assortment of defensive and offensive structures to impede the...
NB Games is bringing its colourful shooter Bullet Hell Infinite to iOS and Android later this week.
As you can see by watching the video above, Bullet Hell Infinite is inspired by the classic Danmaku shooters of the '90s. Although it's not quite as ridiculous as some of those older games.
It's all about shooting tons of brightly coloured bullets at moving formations of enemies while simulta...
Dark Fear is not only inspired by classic Sierra adventure games from the 1980s, but it looks a lot like them, too.
It's for this reason that it stood out to me - those memories from my childhood sat in front of a computer screen came flooding back to me.
Don't worry if you're not familiar with those older game. Developer Arif Games assures us that Dark Fear will ease even the most novice of...
Not to be outdone by Apple and its impressive (if somewhat buggy) iOS 8, Google has revealed Android 5.0 Lollipop in recent weeks, alongside a pair of fine-looking Nexus devices.
This promises to be one of the biggest leaps forward for Android for some time, with a completely new design and some advanced features that appear to trump iOS in a couple of key areas.
Here are just a few that we,...
If Maria the Witch and Rovio's Retry were to ever run into each other at a party, there'd be an immediate argument about who should go home and change.
Granted, the two games seem like they're miles apart on paper. Maria the Witch is about a clumsy young magic-user that needs to get a handle on her broom, whereas Retry is about a clumsy pilot that needs to perform some serious maintenance on th...
Did you know that Song's karaoke game SingStar now works with iOS and Android smartphones?
Yep. You can now toss your plastic microphones in the bin like so much garbage and use the microphone in your mobile. It's easy to set up, but just in case you need a helping hand here's how it all works:
First things first, get the free SingStar Mic app for your phone. It's here on the App...
Dungelot studio Red Winter Software has announced a new puzzle-RPG for iOS and Android called Lost Viking.
Essentially, as the studio itself admits, Red Winter has taken the tile-sliding play of Threes and 2048 and given it a story.
In it, you have to help Ragnar reach Valhalla by battling like-bearded brutes and riding rams across the snowy terrain.
You do this by matching runes tha...
It's Halloween, and we all know what that means – it's time for everything on the App Store to get a tangentially spooky update.
Spooky birds. Spooky guns. Spooky spooky.
Because we like you, and your penchant for pumpkins, we've made a list of some of the note-worthy games that have been updated for this most macabre of celebrations.
So don't come and throw eggs at our house. That'd be r...
Remember how long it took to break free of the black and white screen on portable devices?
LCDs and colour just didn't mix until surprisingly recently. And yet, a game like Felllice can now harness that monochromatic limitation and use it to look quite stunning.
Simplistically beautiful or not, a game needs substance, and in that respect the obscurely titled Felllice might be too minimal for...
Every week, Pocket Gamer provides a weekly digest of the most important and popular stories from these digital pages.
Surprise surprise, it's been another big week for new mobile games.
There was splishy-splashy Agents of Storm, PikPok screen-flicker Rival Stars Basketball, weirdy beardy Felllice, Napoleonic strategy game Penisular, tactics epic Battle Academy 2, and same-screen party game M...
Free to play games are ten a penny on the app store. At least they would be if they cost anything. And very many of them are very awful, and unworthy of the time and attention of dedicated gamers.
Sometimes, though, there are some surprising hits. So when no lesser name than Hironobu Sakaguchi (of Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger fame) released one, we felt we had to take notice.
The game wa...
