This week, Apple went big. It said, and I'm paraphrasing here, "oh, so you Android jerks like big phones? Well here's a big phone. A bloody big phone. It's absolutely massive. Go on and buy it. I dare you".
The monster iPhone 6 Plus makes most phablets look like a smartphone for ants. And the iPhone 6 is no slouch either, dwarfing its teeny iPhone 5S predecessor.
So how do these phones stack...
Transformers: Age of Extinction – The Official Mobile Game is a free to play “combat runner” based on the film franchise by Michael Bay.
It has just received its first, free update since its release in June.
The update adds new levels, bosses, and a new feature called the Special Events Series. Part one of the Special Events series is the Hunted Survival Missions.
These are limited, skill...
Game Oven, the folks behind two-player mobile dancing game Bounden, have just announced a new game called Jelly Reef for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.
In Jelly Reef, you’ll use the touchscreen to manipulate the oceanic elements, taking control of sea currents to guide a swarm of jellyfish around several lively, subaquatic levels.
Based on the lovely handdrawn artwork and cross-sectioned o...
Hardlight Studio has updated Crazy Taxi: City Rush with a bunch of new stuff for you to rev your engine over.
Firstly, there's a new district to frighten you passengers within as you take them to their destination. It's called "Hills", and it has a film lot, golf course, and an observatory for you to crash into.
If you head over to the Hills section of the show room, you'll also find five ne...
You haven't heard? Apple announced the iPhone 6 on Tuesday. It's a pretty big deal.
In fact, 'big' is the operative word here, given that the new iPhone sports a notably bigger display than before. We're talking 4.7-inches of pure ion-strengthened glass.
Of course, this has served to get the Android fanboys riled up with cries of "Copycats!" and "We've had big phones for ages!" and "Applesux...
Spacewrights has a kind of FTL: Faster Than Light appeal to it at first.
You may find yourself glancing at its spaceship customisation and thinking, "yeah, I would enjoy this." But wait, it's more than what you're thinking it is.
Spacewrights is actually a 4X strategy and spaceship simulation game. What this means is that you'll be exploring space, building a ship, and creating a galactic em...
Updated on September 11th, at 16:39: Dragon Quest is now available on iPhone and iPad everywhere, and it's also out on Android. You can get this classic NES role player on Google Play for a measily £1.99 / $2.99. Which is pretty incredible for Square Enix.
Chronology be damned, Square Enix has just released Dragon Quest I on the App Store in New Zealand. That means it should be out in t...
Full Fat has released the latest in its NFL Kicker and NFL Quarterback series for iOS and Android.
As always, you'll be slotted into your specific position among an American football team of your choosing. The games play very much the same as they did previously.
In Kicker, you're looking to kick field goals, while levelling up and honing your skills. Eventually, you'll aim to master coffin ...
This week, Google updated its Play service's policies so that you can get a refund for a game or app for up to two hours after you bought it.
Previously, the refund period only lasted for up to 15 minutes after purchasing from Google Play, so it's a notable increase in time.
There are exceptions, however: you can't get a refund for a game after you've bought it for the second time and af...
Peggle Blast has been officially announced now. It's a ball-and-peg puzzler, as you might expect, but will be free to play rather than premium.
Yep, not only did EA announced SimCity BuildIt after Apple had its show, it also decided to reveal Peggle Blast.
We've actually seen Peggle Blast before, or it seems we have, at least. You may remember that EA removed the original Peggle and started ...
Updated on September 11th at 12:50: EA has been in touch to tell us that the game won't be getting a soft launch as this story originally said.
"As for timing, EA are not planning to soft launching next week as some outlets have reported, but will go into a soft launch period and then a worldwide launch in the next few months."
So there you go.
Original story follows...

The latest version of the Humble Mobile Bundle is up for download, and lets you grab a big stack of Android adventures for not very much money at all.
As usual there are three games you can get no matter how much you pay. Essentially you can pick them up for a shiny penny.
First there's The Tiny Bang Story. It got 6/10 when we reviewed it, saying that the game's "hidden object hunt only come...
Previously best known for its sim and hidden object games, Game Insight is now using Unity to boost its ambitions with a host of 3D hardcore games in development.
One such is 3D action strategy fantasy game Dragon Warlords, which is coming to iOS and Android.
The game combines tower defence elements with the tactical deployment of over 25 different units - wizards, knights, heroes, dragons -...
Foursaken Media's (Bug Heroes, Block Fortress) wizard-themed action-RPG Phantom Rift is coming out at midnight.
Yes, we told you about the game just yesterday, but is there any harm in making sure you're up with the times?
To recap, Phantom Rift is inspired by, and actually plays a lot like, Mega Man Battle Network.
As such, battles take place in lane-based grids, so you'll need to do...
I like to think that Robin Hood would have lived in a treehouse network as grandiose as the one I've built in Little Raiders.
Mind you, I think my Robin is on a different moral compass to the forest archer of legend. Far too concerned with upgrading his house and spending ransacked pieces of silver to treat his merry men.
My Robin has a splendid pad for himself atop a magical tree. Each acor...
SimCity Buildit has just been revealed for iOS and Android. I say revealed, but I pretty much just told you everything we know about it in ten words.
According to our pals at Pocket Gamer France, it's a free to play game, and apparently it's set to enter soft launch sometime next week.
The last SimCity game was SimCity for PC and Mac, and it didn't go down terribly well. And EA's last at...
AiAi's friends have been captured (there's a shocker), and now he has to rescue them all one-by-one. Only this time, he won't be working his way through precarious mazes in a giant hamster ball.
No, this time he'll be bouncing all over the place like everyone's favorite game from The Price is Right. He's still in the giant hamster ball, though.
Working the angles
I know what you're thinki...
Five Nights at Freddy's uses careful audio cues to announce when the mechanical monsters that prowl the building you're locked inside are about to rip off your face - but unfortunately, it took me around an hour to realise that.
Why? Because after racking up a grand total of four fear-quits just fifteen minutes into the game, I decided that the best course of action was to set up a playlist of ...
SNK Playmore's Bronze Award-winning The Rhythm of Fighters no longer costs 69p / 99c as it's now a free to play game (it always had IAPs anyway).
Don't worry, if you own the paid version you should get a little something as thanks.
SNK Playmore is distributing five NEOGEO original songs to all phones and tablets with save data of the paid version.
There is also a little note from the deve...
HeroCraft has announced that it's bringing pirate-themed free to play RPG Tempest to iOS "soon".
It'll have you diving into the life of a nasty pirate: stealing from merchant ships, battling warships, and attacking sea forts.
This is no strictly historical action, though. Oh yes, Tempest has giant tentacled sea creatures and menacing-looking whales that will attack ships.
HeroCraft tells ...
