The Silent Age was a special treat. It came out of nowhere, was completely free, and offered a few hours of high quality point and click fun.
The idea was, it turns out, to give the opening chapter away for free and then follow up soon after with a paid second chapter. Well here we are, a year and change later, with a second episode.
As ever, it's about bouncing between the groovy 1970s ("th...
This is part two of our guide for the timeline-hopping adventure game The Silent Age: Episode Two.
A quick note on our wording. We're calling the groovy 1970s "the past" in this guid, and the post-apocalyptic 2012 will be described as "the future". Deal with it.

The least pocket-sized of Google’s announcements last night was the Nexus Player, an Android TV-powered set-top box that gives you the Android experience on the biggest screen in your house.
The box is powered by a Silvermont quad-core processor that’s clocked at 1.8GHz. It sports a PowerVR series 6 GPU, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage.There is a microUSB port, so hopefully that sto...
Android L isn’t called Android L anymore. It’s called Android Lollipop, and it should be rolling out to select devices in the next few weeks.
The new version of Google’s OS is the first real overhaul since Android 4.0, bringing with it a new user interface, as well as plenty more tricks and treats.
The final SDK of the build will be sent to developers on October 17th, but it’s unlikely t...
Google has revealed its latest attempt to steal the tablet crown from the iPad. It’s called the Nexus 9, it’s a slightly funny shape, and it’s the first tablet to sport the 64-bit ARM Tegra K1.
The 9 has a 4:3 aspect ratio, and a near-as-dammit nine inch screen with a resolution of 2048x1536. That swanky processor runs at 2.3GHz, and is backed up by 2GB of RAM.
There’s an 8MP camera on t...
House on Fire has finally launched the second (and last) episode of its well-loved, time-travelling adventure game, The Silent Age.
It's available as an in-app purchase inside the first game, on both iOS and Android, and costs £2.99 / $4.99.
If you missed the first game, it was about a humble janitor with a glorious moustache, who got his hands on a portable time machine and was dragged ...
Last night Google went announcement crazy. It was announcing to the left, it was announcing to the right, it was announcing directly in to your face and it didn’t care who knew.
One of the things that it announced is the Nexus 6, a swanky new high-end smartphone that’s a bit of a departure from the Nexus line, especially when it comes to the price.
The Nexus 6 sports a 5.9 inch AMOLED 14...
Chances are, you've probably not heard of Xiaomi - but this Chinese firm is really going places. It sells more smartphones in its native country than Apple or Samsung, and is expected to shift 60 million devices this year.
However, there's one big issue which the company is going to have to face if it has any ambitions of international fame - and that its almost pathological desire to copy ever...
Quick, competitive multiplayer is a growing trend in the PC and console scene, and it looks like Donut Games is getting ready to give the mobile side its share.
Today, Donut Games, the studio behind Traps n' Gemstones, released a few screenshots for their upcoming game Micro Battles.
As the name suggests, Micro Battles is a compilation of minigames centered on gameplay that is quick, com...

Deadly Bullet developer Tommi Saalasti has released a challenging walking simulator called Strung Along for iOS and Android.
While the urge is to compare Strung Along to QWOP, it being a walking simulator of sorts, it has enough character to be discussed by itself.
The challenge here is to walk a puppet across a hazardous theatrical stage.
All you have to do is tap the big blue and red bu...
As regular readers of the Top 10 best Android games of the month feature will know, Android gaming is in a pretty good place these days.
Once the home of shoddy three-year-old iOS ports, dodgy Sudoku clones, and the odd Nvidia Tegra graphics showcase, things have gotten much better.
Many major games are launch simultaneously with, or at least soon after, the iOS version. Meanwhile the genera...
NomNomNom! is a game about two things, really: eating food, and pug farts.
The two combine together in this free, endless eat 'em up. Your mission is to guide a pug from starvation by helping it eat a stream of food heading towards its doggy chops.
You do that by instructing the pug to open its mouth with a tap on the touchscreen. But it's not that easy as you also need to look out the sharp...
Stop what you're doing. Put it down. Hell, throw it away. There's a Street Fighter match-three puzzler coming to iOS and Android in Japan.
It's called Street Fighter Puzzle Spirits and it looks awesome. Take a moment and watch the video above. How great does tiny Ryu look? Look at his little hadoukens. Why can't I play this game now?
There's an aura of Puzzle Fighter about proceedings. A...
Minecraft is silly. In the best possible way. It's an expression of the creative possibility of gaming, of what people can do given some tools and the time to play.
Need proof? A German man has made a working iPhone in the game.
Okay, it doesn't work 'properly', but you can unlock it, play with some apps, and even use its music player. See, silly. Brilliantly, delightfully silly.
