Chinese game publisher Shanda Games has announced Borderlands Online for mobile and PC in China.
It's to be a shooter-RPG that plays just like regular Borderlands titles, except with a focus on the online experience, plus it will be free-to-play.
As expected, Shanda Games is working with 2K and Gearbox on Borderlands Online. In fact, Gearbox has even set-up a new team in Shanghai to support ...
I hate snowmen. Snowmen with their multi-tired bodies and stovepipe hats. Almost every run I have on Roller Polar is spoiled by their smug carrot-nosed faces.
Or by rocks. Or trees. Or those annoying birds that fly along nonchalantly and hit you in the face at the apex of your jump.
There's a decent case to be made for hating everything in this game. From the ball of snow you're struggling t...
Brilliant, weird, funny platformer Electronic Super Joy: Groove City has made one last leap and landed on the Google Play Store, so if you're a player of a Google persuasion you can nab it right now.
The game sees you jumping through a city that's being attacked by a giant stripper robot. The platoforming is super fast, and the controls are more than up to the task.
Everything looks gorg...
Virtual reality developer nDreams is 'gearing' up (pun-tastic) for the launch of Samsung's anticipated virtual reality face case, and has announced that it's epic space shooter Gunner will be available as a launch title.
Oculus is onboard with Gunner as a co-publisher, so you can expect to be hearing a lot more about it once the VR race finally - hopefully - kicks off this month.
Deadly arti...
Every week, Pocket Gamer provides a weekly digest of the most important and popular stories from these digital pages.
Whoops, we forgot to do a round-up last week. I was in Spain, everyone else was lazy, it was a disaster. Sorry!
But anyway. There was a smattering of new mobile games this week, which we rounded up in our list of the best iOS games of the week, and the must-buy Android games ...
It's the weekend! Are you hungover yet? Have you punched anyone in the Christmas shopping rush? I'm writing this from the past but I bet I've done both of those things.
If the machinations of capitalism have made you violent, why not take out some of your rage with Only One. It is, after all, today's entry into our excellent advent calendar of excellence.
The game sees you battling on to...
Such is the pace of the mobile games' industry, despite the loaming holiday season, there's no let up when it comes to news.
Of course, Pocket Gamer is partly responsible, given our PG Connect London 2015 conference (13-14 January) is mere weeks away.

Gameloft's upcoming World War II shooter, Brothers in Arms 3, has a new teaser trailer.
The previous Brothers in Arms 2: Global Front received a Bronze Award from us all the way back in 2010.
Our review called it a not-so-subtle or intelligent FPS that's still "big on set-piece thrills and satisfying action."
Brothers in Arms 3 is different from its predecessors. This time around, it's di...
The 2005 Xbox title Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath made its move to handhelds late 2012 with the Vita, and then iOS just last week.
Now, the cult classic is available to Android players through the Amazon Appstore. You can buy it for £3.99 / $5.99.
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath puts you in control of The Stranger, a bounty hunter. The game is set in a Western-themed sci-fi universe.
Our review o...
The rather brilliant, Gold Award-winning digital boardgame Carcassonne is getting a Winter Edition expansion on December 17th.
We're not sure of the price of this expansion yet but we do know what it will contain.
First up is a new character (a gingerbread man, it seems) which, we presume, is tied in with the new game mechanic that developer TheCodingMonkeys is teasing.
It will also b...
Vivid Games has released Godfire: Rise of Prometheus on Android at last.
That means, Android players, that you can finally shove swords in bloated masses of people, all of it loosely based on Greek mythology.
It's God of War for mobile, more or less: an action adventure with brutish combat, mythological creatures, and big boss battles.
You won't be playing it for the story, but for expos...
We first heard of Polyganic when it won our Big Indie Pitch at Apps World last month.
Now we've found out that it's coming to iOS, Android, and Windows Phone next week. Time for a briefing, then, so grab a seat and listen up.
Polyganic is an arcade endless runner that's probably best understood as a twist on Flappy Bird.
Instead of controlling the bird - in this case a simple polygon - y...
Royal body-flinging silly platformer The Sleeping Prince has arrived on Android with a sleepy stumble.
And, more than that, it's completely free and without any IAPs for a limited time.
Once that time is up, it will go up to a premium price, so you're best off grabbing it right now if you plan on ever doing so.
We took a look at The Sleeping Prince on iOS before now. The conclusion wa...
Valorware has revealed that 9th Dawn II: Remnants of Caspartia, the sequel to its Silver Award-winning RPG, will be heading to iOS and Android shortly.
It seems that the idea is, once again, to incorporate the sense of adventure of classic RPGs with more modern designs for combat and user friendliness.
We'll be heading back to the world of Vayle too. This time it's in aid of reclaiming the l...
Ruben is Sleepy is a slightly odd twitchy arcade game from the dev behind Help Volty. It's out right now on Android and should be hitting iOS in the not-too-distant future.
The game sees you playing as a strange, TV-addled creature that, upon falling asleep, finds itself tumbling through a nightmarish void that's full of old televisions.
These sets are either pink or blue, and you need to ta...
If you've got an Android phone or tablet and you've been staring glumly at your iOS-owning friends who've been playing inkle's incredible Gold Award-winning 80 Days, it's time to turn that frown upside down.
Or it nearly is, because the steampunk retelling of Phileas Fogg's adventure around the world is set to hit the Google Play Store later in the month. December 16th to be precise.
And...
Today's advent gift from us to you is a gorgeous puzzler that crackles and fizzes with interesting twists on the light-deflecting genre.
That's right, it's God of Light. Light, like the twinkly bulbs you're draping around the outside of your house to ward off the evil spirits of winter. I think that's why you do that.
The game is all about shifting mirrors, deflecting beams of godly-ener...
Every Friday, Pocket Gamer offers hands-on impressions of the week's three best new Android games.

It's been a long time coming, but the brilliant mobile version of the tank-based MMO has finally made its way to the Google Play Store in all of its shooty tanky glory.

Mojang is finally ready to launch its second game, after the phenomenally popular Minecraft. It's called Scrolls, it's a card and board game hybrid, and it's out on Android next week.
The games see you building up a library of units, spells, enchantments, and structures, before you face off against others on a hexagonal battlefield. There are 350 scrolls in the game, and a full crafting sys...
The pointless, mind-numbing, time-wasting, and amazingly addictive iOS game Bitcoin Billionaire is now available to download on Android, for free.
The game is all about mining bitcoins so you can afford to turn your crappy apartment into a geeky bachelor pad filled with hot tubs, arcade machines, priceless art, and robot butlers.
You get money by tapping the screen. And then you can spen...
