Sometimes, there are weeks when all news is created equal. This was not one of those weeks.
No, this week clearly belonged to Apple - as does any week when the Cupertino giant decides it wants to launch a new product - with the firm lifting the lid on the iPad Air 2 and the iPad mini 3.
Even though you can probably only think about getting your hands on one of those slick new iPads right now...
It's been a little over two months since Desert Golfing started blowing minds with its sublime tedium.
If you've bought into the craze and still find yourself flicking away at golf balls across the game's vastly uneventful expanse, you might be interested in what one iOS developer was able to do with it.
Patrick Winchell, developer of Gyrorbital, used libimobiledevice and AVFoundation to...
LambdaMu and Chillingo are bringing their minutely detailed city sim, Pixel People, to Android on October 21st.
In Pixel People, you're in control of a perfectly isometric pixel utopia, in charge of splicing together citizens to create new ones with different skill sets.
With this vast pixel population comes new buildings, and new buildings mean new opportunities and resources for your c...
The fourth installment of the Rollercoaster Tycoon series is available now for free on Android.
The first mobile version of the popular franchise, Rollercoaster Tycoon 4 debuted on the App Store in April.
A few months after launch, Atari switched to the free to play model, which pushed the game up among the top ranking apps on the App Store.
Our review of the iOS version didn't quite see ...
After a slight delay, gladiatorial co-op combat game Enterchained has been released on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.
In it, you and an AI companion have been tied together and forced to fight for your lives in the Colloseum.
Enemies will charge at you, alone and in packs, and with a variety of weapons.
You and your partner fight back by swinging you swords and tripping them over with ...
Sony has released its free to play match-three RPG Fat Princess: Piece of Cake on iOS and Android.
The more important news for some of you may be that you can get a free download voucher for Fat Princess on PS3 if you reach Level 15 in Piece of Cake.
We discovered this when the game was soft-launched back in June. But we've confirmed that the voucher is still available even after the game's ...
What happens after you fall asleep in your bed?
According to Bart Bonte's upcoming action-puzzle game Sweet Drmzzz, a mini-you pops out of your ear and rides your alarm clock to space.
Up there, it plays with colourful space worms, collects stars, and tries not to disturb your sleeping self.
Sweet Drmzzz has this childish playfulness to it. It looks, to me, like a child's drawing brought...
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Ghostbusters, Fruit Ninja has been updated with spectral fruit, Ecto Goggles, and Proton Packs.
No, really, there be ghosts in those bananas and melons, apparently.
With the Proton Pack equipped, you can draw an X on the screen to cross the streams and blow up fruit. You can blame the resulting mess on Slimer.
Plus, if you head down to the River of...
Take a deep breath. Right, ADAM - Artificial Defense Automation Module (now breathe normally) is now out on iOS and Android.
I had my eyes give this free endless dodge 'em up a poke a couple of weeks ago due to its cute art style.
You control a robot as it passes through a 2D gauntlet of homing rockets and protruding ledges. By pressing the up and down buttons, you're able to adjust his...
If you like pinball and South Park then you should probably be excited about South Park: Pinball. It's out right now as a standalone purchase, or as an IAP from inside Zen Pinball.
The game consists of two pinball tables. One themed around South Park in general, the other focussing on Butters. I don't really know who that is, but I typed it anyway in case you do.
As you might expect from...
Do you want to beta-test Minecraft - Pocket Edition? Do you have an Android device with Minecraft - Pocket Edition installed? Then you’re in luck, because Mojang is looking for people to play the latest build.
Unfortunately the beta, which gives you access to version 0.10.0 of the block-building smash hit, is restricted to Android players. Looks like you iOS lot are going to have to sit thi...
The third episode of Camouflaj’s sneaky dystopian techno-thriller République is set to hit the App Store on October 23rd.
It’s called Ones Zeroes, and it’s apparently the biggest episode yet, clocking in at about three hours.
And if you’re an Android gamer who’s been waiting patiently to catch up with the adventure, you’re in luck. The first three episodes are heading to the Google Play St...
Every Friday, Pocket Gamer offers hands-on impressions of the week's three best new Android games.
Card Dungeon
By Playtap Games - buy on Android (£1.49 / $1.99)
I know, I know. Another roguelike. After The Nightmare Cooperative and Dungelot and Hoplite and loads more you're sick of them. But trust us, this one's clever.
As you wander through these dank dungeons, your range of action...
Joinz, the Silver Award-winning Tetris and Threes! mash-up released last month for iOS, is out now on Android for £1.49 / $1.99.
Our review of its iOS version called it, "Engaging, if a bit complicated for its own good at times," a typical tile-sliding puzzler that's unique in its own way.
Joinz is about sliding and conjoining colored tiles around a grid, trying to replicate shapes provided ...
There isn't a ton of complexity to experimental rhythm game Incandescence, but if you're looking for some passive fun, it's out now for free now on iOS and Android, and Windows Phone.
Inspired by the developer's own impulsive finger-drumming habit, the goal of Incandescence is to simply tap and drum on a dynamic neon crystal, to the beat of the music.
It can feel very passive at times, with ...
The comic book-inspired card game Sentinels of the Multiverse is now a real tablet game that you can play right now.
This iOS and Android version of the game is pretty much the card game stuffed and stomped into a tablet-shaped hole. It even uses the original artwork.
As with the card game's Enhanced Edition, you get 10 heroes, four villains, and four environments in this digital version.

Outcast Odyssey, for those of you who haven't heard of or played it, is a rather interesting iPhone, iPad, and soon-to-be Android title from developers Magic Pixel Games and Bandai Namco Games America.
It's interesting because it takes the best features of dungeon crawler games and mashes them together with the best features of the card battler genre to create a fast-paced adventure title that'...
The first episode of The Silent Age came out of nowhere. It showed up on the App Store practically unannounced, as an entirely free game.
And it turned out to be an excellent point and click adventure with sharp visual design, an interesting time-hopping puzzle mechanic, and a tantalising story that left us waiting for a sequel.
A year and a bit later and here we are with the second (and fin...
Galaxy Siege 2 lets you build a spaceship out of cubes so that you can steadily conquer the galaxy.
In the engineering station, you're able to piece together your ship from various modules, adding armour and weapons to it.
Once your spaceship is ready, you can head out into space to complete missions, which mostly involves shooting a variety of cartoon aliens and enemy ships.
If you're s...
Updated on October 16th at 14:15: The Android version of NBA 2K15 will be exclusive to the Amazon App Store and Amazon's Fire phone, tablets, and TV.
Yep, sorry Android players, you won't be able to play this one (at least for now) unless you own one of Amazon's new tech bits.
The Android version of NBA 2K15 will be out on October 28th.
Original story follows...
