Doggins has been released on iPad, it has been released on iPhone, and so its final frontier was Android. And, at long last, it has arrived.
This is the stylish space adventure with lashings of surreal kookiness that has you chasing a monocled squirrel around the moon.
It's all framed as a dog's dream, so the peculiarity is fine, and you'll forgive it once you dress Doggins up all posh to en...
Combo Queen is about a psychotic killer called Queen who takes on thousands of monsters, just because she can.
It's also a smart-looking hack-and-slack action RPG designed specifically for the touchscreen.
This is most evident in its attack and parry system. When standing toe-to-toe with a giant warrior, you tap at the right time with a single to make Queen attack.
When her enemy mak...
Ooh, looky here, the Gold Award-winning mysterious box-opening puzzler The Room 2 is on sale again.
It was on sale back in July, but you may have missed it if you followed Mark's gratuitously long instructions on how to find your credit card.
To make sure there's no risk of that happening again, I'll keep this snappy.
The Room 2 is normally priced at £1.99 / $2.99, but for a limited time,...
For me, the best video game representation of the beautiful game isn't about polygons and accurate team line-ups. It's Sensible Soccer on the Amiga.
It's hilarious sliding tackles and a Dutch national team entirely comprised of players whose names you can't say because you're laughing too much.
That's the vibe that Tiki Taka Soccer gives off. It's a different sort of beast to Sensible, but i...
Updated on October 7th, at 12:26: We've given this guide a bit of a spring clean to bring us up to date with the Rebels level pack.
So we've added videos for all 12 bird side and all 12 pork side levels in that update. Plus, all the levels for the Master Your Destiny special update.
We've also added more collectible items and more reward chapter videos. Check it out!

Welcome to our video walkthroughs for Angry Birds Star Wars 2. Watch the pros in action, and mimic their movements, and you'll unlock those all-important stars in no time at all.
This Rebels chapter is based on a TV show which I haven't seen. I'm sure it's awesome.
These vids should help you get three star scores on every level in this chapter. You can, of course, use Telepods or the in-game...

The final hurdle for virtual reality gaming, according to Ustwo designer Peter Pashley, is figuring out the controls.
Most games ask players to wrangle a traditional controller - and you can't even look down and see the buttons and sticks while you play. That makes VR a tough sell to anyone who hasn't been fiddling with Xbox pads for a few years.
So with Land's End - the debut VR game fr...
Exozet's version of Carcassonne on Windows Phone, Windows 8, and Android has been updated with online play, so you can place tiles without anyone else being in the same room.
It's cross platform multiplayer as well, so you can play with your friends regardless of what they stuff into their pocket when they decide it's time to go to the shops for booze and cigs.
Right now there's just a q...
Playing Skylanders Trap Team feels like you're getting a taste of the future of iOS gaming, especially if the home console game studios have their way.
It's a big budget, AAA experience, with almost no concession given to the fact that it happens to be running on a tablet. It's an Xbox 360 game, but on your iPad, and it is a phenomenal technical achievement.
It's also $75 US dollars (or abou...
Free to play continues to be a divisive issue in the world of mobile gaming.
It's either the saviour of the industry, or the death-knell of gaming itself. The business model of greedy money-grubbers, or the best way to open your game to a wide audience.
At Pocket Gamer we proudly sit on the fence. Many free to play games grind our gears, but we've found plenty that we enjoy whole-heartedly l...
Yo, racing fans, Pixelbite Studios has announced that Reckless Racing 3 is coming out on iOS this Thursday.
Yes, that's October 9th. Go rev your engines, or whatever it is that you do on such an occasion.
Maybe not you, so much, Android players. Unfortunately, you have to wait until October 23rd or thereabouts until it comes to your platform of choice.
That aside, there's a chance that y...
Activision has released Skylanders: Trap Team on iPad and Android tablets in the US. Woohoo, great, good for them.
Sorry, I'm just not a fan of when Europe gets left behind like this. You see, Trap Team doesn't come out in Europe until October 10th.
Why? We have no idea, which probably means the answer is because.
Anyway, AppSpy has been lucky enough to go hands-on with Trap Team and ...
Rogue Wizards is doing a lot of things. Namely, combining town building and dungeon crawling into one big mish-mash game.
Rogue Wizards places you as the wizard assigned to vanquish the mysterious portals and the accursed dungeons in order to rid the world of dark magic.
But you do, at least, get to build out your own Wizard Tower while doing this. It should be homely, a pleasant place ...
Congratulations to our esteemed Twitter follower @socketubs for nabbing this utterly fantastic Nintendo 3DS unit - it's on its way to France at this very moment.

Ubisoft has announced a new game and, surprisingly, it's not yet another entry in its Assassin's Creed series.
Instead, it's a free to play hybrid of tower defence and puzzle games called The Bot Squad: Puzzle Battles.
It has you controlling a team of bots searching for an orb of energy across the trap-filled arenas of Dynamo City.
Its 180 stages (across four strategic puzzle modes) are p...
Rovio is giving you the chance to make a level in the next episode of Angry Birds. It's all to celebrate the game's fifth "birdday", which is happening on December 11th.

The contest closes on October 15th, and you need to cho...
First and foremost, The Sagas of Fire*Wolf is a pretty decent bargain.
You get four books for the price of one, and while they might not be as swish as the likes of Appointment with F.E.A.R and 80 Days, there's still a huge amount of adventuring to be done here.
The game is presented in Tin Man's brilliant gamebook engine, and it's just as slick and poised as we've come to expect. Dice clatt...
Every now and again we encourage you to "Kickstart this".
Which is to say we point your eyeballs at a game or hardware project on Kickstarter (or other crowdfunding sites) that may be of interest to you.
And then we never mention it again until the game comes out. And seeing as many of these projects are unsuccessful, that may never even happen.

Tower Dwellers is a mix of tower defense and real-time strategy, released last year on iOS and available now on Android.
It is a premium app, selling for £2.49 / $3.99 on Google Play.
Instead of automatically defending lanes, the towers in Tower Dwellers produce specialized combat units to send into battle.
The more soldiers your structures create, the bigger the army you have to defend a...
