Cel-shaded, graffiti-tagging, J-pop-rocking, Dreamcast classic Jet Set Radio has vanished from the App Store on iOS, and it will disappear from the Android's Google Play shop soon.
A SEGA spokesperson said that the game "showed some minor compatibility problems" with iOS 8. "Ensuring that all of our fans have a quality game experience is paramount to us, therefore we've decided to take the ...
Pako is an out of control car chase simulator that tasks you with staying alive and on the road for as long as possible.
Without brakes. While being pursued by the police.
Originally released for iOS on August 14th, the Bronze Award-winning Pako is now headed to Android this Thursday, October 23rd.
Our review from August gave the original iOS version a Bronze Award, praising it as a "bras...
My relationship with Strung Out has been about as fragile as the very strings holding up the game's puppet.
And really, are those strings made out of wet noodles or something? Jeez they break easy!
Loose wires
I started off with a pretty positive outlook. The game seems interesting, and I dig the wonky puppet thing. It's sort of like a mix of Daddy Long Legs and Octodad in how intentional...
Announced today, Train Conductor 3 certainly seems to be the best-looking entry in the choo-choo action-strategy series so far.
Yep, the improvements over Train Conductor 2: USA are easy to spot in Train Conductor 3, as you'd hope considering the four year gap between the two.
This is the result of developer The Voxel Agents building the game from the ground up. It has dynamic lighting, HD t...
Make no mistake. SimCity BuildIt, is not a fully fledged SimCity game for mobile devices.
The game - which is currently undergoing soft launch in Canada on Android - is, as we all should have expected by this point, a light and fluffy free to play reimagining of EA's urban planning sim.
So while it has all the elements of a classic SimCity game - including roads, waterworks, pollution, g...
Naps Team is bringing its cult brawler series Gekido to the "touch generation".
The team reckons it could be with us as soon as early 2015, but that's not confirmed yet.
All that we do know is it'll have us playing as Travis and, seemingly, fighting zombies (among other enemies, presumably).
As you can see in the single screenshot that Naps has released (below), this Gekido game has a han...
It's October 21st today, which means that LambdaMu and Chillingo has brought city builder Pixel People over to Android, as promised.
It lets you rule over a utopian city from an isometric view, splicing the genes of your citizens to create clones.
Each of the clones have different skill sets and fulfill different roles. As you progress, you'll unlock over 280 pixel people and more than 100 b...
It's fair to say we're pretty excited about Crashlands here at Pocket Gamer's marshy hideout.
It's from Butterscotch Shenanigans, it's an epic randomly generated survive-'em-up, and you can check out the first trailer above.
It shows off a lot of the mechanics that have us so intrigued. Crafting, scrapping, wandering around a barren wasteland trying to make the most of things while every...
Silver Award-winning techno strategy battler Frozen Synapse has had its price slashed on iPad and Android tablets.
Last week it would have set you back £6.99 / $9.99. Right now you can bag it for £1.99 / $2.99.
The game is a tight and taut squad-based shooter that sees you issuing orders to your blocky men, then crossing your fingers that they don't get slaughtered while they carry them ...
Pocket Gamer is looking for interns for three months' experience working on the production of leading games and technology websites and magazines.
This is an unpaid role that would suit a university graduate looking to gain valuable experience in the media industry.
Successful candidates will be able to work alongside and learn from a team with over 50 years of combined experience at the top...
With Zen Pinball's licensed fare to date being rather action-oriented - Marvel, Star Wars, Walking Dead - South Park represents a big change in subject matter.
However, this is still Zen Pinball as you know it - a fairly traditional modern table, augmented by all manner of animated characters that wouldn't be possible in the real world.
On launching the app, it immediately explodes into the ...
Miika might have killed me with its cuteness.
It's a 3D puzzle game by London-based studio Noxus that combines the cute, cube-hopping look of ilomilo, and the optical illusion puzzles of Monument Valley.
It also stars a small family of furry squirrelly-things that I want to have as a plushie.
You'll travel with them through the four seasons across levels made up of what looks like cotton...
Seashine has appeared on these digital pages before but we didn't know much about it. Now, we know a little bit more, plus there's a teaser trailer.
You play as a luminous jellyfish at the bottom of an oceanic abyss. Your task is to weave through the narrow workings of the caverns to find light sources.
You need this light in order to live a little longer, so it's a constant race against ti...
People are paradoxical. The more technology you give them, the more they yearn for the good old days. That's why mobile stores are rife with emulators and revisions of older games.
Perhaps the most extreme example is the resurrection of choose your own adventure game books. Originally these were physical books that allowed role-players to enjoy a solo dose of their favourite hobby. Now they've ...
It's pretty convenient that you're a "ski master" in Escape from Montegrande.
You see, the only feasible way to escape from Montegrande prison is to ski down the snowy mountain it sits atop.
You've been locked up for life, so you take the chance, hoping to out-ski the cops on the way down and make a break for it.
If you weren't a ski master then I'd imagine the game would be over pretty ...
Inside Pete is a real-time strategy game that would have been right at home among the gross-out toys and games of the 1990s.
I say that because it takes place inside the filthy guts of a lazy man called Pete. It's all kinds of icky.
You control nanobots that can clone white blood cells that Pete's clever uncle sent inside him rid him of the disgusting results of his lethargy.
This means ...
We've already been hands-on with Tilt to Live: Gauntlet's Revenge in word-form.
But because of diminishing attention spans, everyone loves video nowadays, so we've only gone and done one of those for you as well.
The game sees you traversing a series of super tough mazes, tilting your phone or tablet to try and avoid a deadly array of spikey, lasery, and general killy things.
It all l...
Record of Agarest War Zero is available right now on the Google Play Store. It's a fully mobile-ified version of the console SRPG.
And it even has Xperia Play support. I'm not making that up, it says it in the listing and everything.
The game also supports MOGA controllers, and has apparently been built from the ground up for Android TV.
So that means when the Nexus Player hits shops, you...
Here's an interesting concept. Let's say you want to make a wrestling game that's as close to the real thing as possible.
What you’d need to consider is that wrestling - the wrestling you see on TV, with stadiums full of Americans and rings full of gigantic pantomime dames - is more than grappling and throws.
It's a dazzling firework show of extravagance and hero worship, and any game that c...
