Every week, Pocket Gamer provides a weekly digest of the most important and popular stories from these digital pages.
This week, Los Angeles was home to fast cars, gunfights, and sweaty people. More so than usual, I mean.
Yep, that's right: it was E3 time.
This big, brash gaming festival is home to new games and big announcements. And very few of them have anything to do with the things a...
This week, James cuts his finger and bleed over the microphone while Harry looks on, unimpressed.
We also cover the most exciting stories to emerge from E3, including Final Fantasy Agito news and the unveiling of Hitman: Sniper.
Finally, we take a look at the latest iOS releases, including Tim Schafer's Kickstarter success Broken Age, and Terry Cavanagh's retro masterpiece VVVVVV.

As with last year's E3, one of the most pleasant surprises we had in LA this year came from Kemco.
Walking over to the booth, it was easy to see that Kemco was stepping up its game.
Four monitors flashed demos of upcoming games that all looked to have JRPG inspiration but didn't look like the mobile publisher's typical offerings.
Kemco's Matteo Conti walked us around the booth and gave us...
Updated on June 13th at 15:50: Spike TV presenter Geoff Keighley said on Twitter that Entwined will also be coming to iOS and Android.
That may seem odd considering that Entwined was announced as a PlayStation exclusive. It seems that the exclusivity may be timed what Keighley says is true, then.
If we get official confirmation from Pixel Opus regarding its arrival on iOS and Android we'll l...
If you need a break from that big ol' football palaver, then Slitherine's turn-based chariot racing game Qvadriga beckons.
Released today on iPad and Android tablets, Qvadriga warps you to the ancient Roman circuses. There, you'll manage your own four-horse chariot team.
As glorious as the potential fame and fortune may see, you'll have to employ brutal tactics to survive and win each compet...
"War never changes." That adage sprang from the Fallout games, and it still rings true. Especially when it comes to war-based video games.
Great Little War Game 2 from Rubicon is a prime example of a turn-based strategy game that's happy to remain mechanically traditional.
Not that there's a lot wrong with that. Great Little War Game 2 doesn't feature a slew of new ideas, but it's a highly p...
Full Fat has just released a free Brazil-based spin-off of its Gold Award-winning game Flick Soccer.
Flick Soccer Brazil tests your finger flicking skills across five challenges, either on the pitch or on the beach.
In "Quickshot", it's just you versus the keeper. In "Specialist", you have to try and score goals from free kicks. "Challenge", meanwhile, is a precision mode with five gold trop...
Gold Award-winning deep space exploration sim Out There is on sale on the App Store and the Google Play Store.
You can grab the game for just £1.49 / $1.99 at the moment, which is about a quid less than you'd have paid at the same time yesterday.
At review we called it "a vast, lonely game about space and time and death," adding that "Out There is by turns funny, exciting, and fresh."

Samsung has announced a couple of new Galaxy Tab S devices overnight. There's an 8.4 inch model and a 10.5 inch model, but the specs on both of the tablets are pretty similar.
Both of them have 2560x1600 Super AMOLED displays with 90% AdobeRGB colour spectrum coverage. Both have Exynos 5 Octa or Snapdragon 800 processors and 3GB of RAM.
They both come in 16GB or 32GB flavours, and feature mi...
Every Friday, Pocket Gamer offers hands-on impressions of the week's three best new Android games.
VVVVVV
By Terry Cavanagh - buy on Android (£1.99 / $2.99)
The gravity-flipping platforming classic finally goes mobile. And it's been worth the wait. VVVVVV is just as sharp on touchscreens as it was with physical controls.
Retro in all the right ways, the game sees you travelling throu...
Gameloft has revealed some more details about its upcoming super-heroic endless runner Spider-Man Unlimited over on its blog.
The game sees you dashing through New York using your spider-skills to clobber your way through a series of evil villains who are threatening the safety of the city.
There are twenty different costumes to unlock, incluing Iron Spider, Spider-Man Noir, and one with...
The Android version of Badland has been updated with the four player co-op mode that its iOS cousin received last month.
The update allows you and up to three friends to play together on the same device. If you want to get the most out of it it's probably best that you use an Android tablet. Or have freakishly small-fingered friends.
You can also use controllers if you've got some laying...
After about 30 seconds of playing Fluid SE you realise it's not what you thought it was. At first glance it's another neon-hued arcade game that's all about staying alive for as long as possible.
But after that half a minute you realise that it's actually a cruel racer. This is the sort of game that taunts you with fractions of a second.
It pushes you to cut corners, forces you to take chanc...
Switchcars is described by developer Altfuture as "an action roguelike-like sidescroller with 1000 vehicles."
I'm not so keen on the "roguelike" label, but it feels great to play as a fast-paced, chaotic action arcade game.
Your challenge is to escape from a horde of hostile aliens as they chase you across various landscapes. You can do this by running but the aliens will soon catch up and k...
Even with E3 finally winding down it's quite tough to take in all the information we've been bombarded with.
If only there were some kind of podcast that could gather up all the best stories of the week and present them in a digestible form, full of British wit...
Oh, hello there! The Pocket Gamer Podcast is here to do all of the above and much more besides, and in a live, uncut video form. ...
EA's free-to-play arcade golf game King of the Course is now available on iOS and Android.
If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, then maybe the promotional image of a flaming ball and electrified golf club will appeal.
The image alludes to the power-ups you can acquire in the game. Yep, King of the Course focuses on fast-paced golf challenges that'll have you competing with friends on ...
Vivid Games has announced that its impressive looking third person hack-and-slasher Godfire: Rise of Prometheus will hit the the App Store on June 19th. That's a week today.
It's also announced a collector's edition of the game. It's called the Titan Edition, and you can grab it from the game's official website once the game is released.
It features an 8.7 inch figurine of Prometheus, an...
Today is a special day for soccer fans.
Whether you're a lover of The Beautiful Game or not, you'll most likely be aware that today is the day that 32 teams from around the globe take part in a month-long tournament known as the FIFA World Cup.
Today is the day that teams from England, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Nigeria, and the US (among other countries) go toe-to-toe in Brazil in the hope of ...
Updated on June 12th at 09:56: Fluid SE is now out on the Google Play Store [buy] and the Windows Phone Store [buy].
Original story follows...
Fluid SE is what PacMan might look like if it had been invented at a rave in the late-90's. All neon colours, blobs that bite back, and throbbing lights.
The game has just hit the New Zealand App Store, which means it should be hitting the UK...
Designing a new puzzle game isn't an enviable task, but it can be a worthwhile one.
We smartphone gamers love a good puzzler, and we reward the ones that grab us by the thumbs and refuse to let go by playing them to death.
But that means there's a lot of pressure when a dev approaches a new puzzle concept. And sometimes, that pressure can lead to over-complication.
Dots, dashes, squares, ...
