Lex is an intriguing word game that's set to hit the App Store and the Google Play Store this Thursday.
You're given a bunch of letters that are worth a varying amount of points and have to put them into words.
Each letter also has a timer. The higher the score, the longer the timer. An E might not last any time at all, but a Q will hang around a lot longer.
You need to get make a word wi...
Gold Award-winning Lemmings inspired people-pushing puzzler Kiwanuka has made the leap from the App Store to the Google Play Store, so Android gamers can get a taste of its lo-fi brilliance.
The game is all about leading your people to a portal. You use magical powers to build bridges with your acolytes, poking them over to cross gaps and swinging them like a pendulum to latch on to hard to...
This week, it's all about E3.
That big, brash, and gratuitously loud video game Mecca in Los Angeles where all the major publishers meet up and announce their latest blood-soaked war simulators.
Things kick off at 5:30pm (all these times are in BST, for our UK readers) today with a Microsoft keynote that probably won't contain any references to mobile at all. At 8pm, we've got EA, who might ...
Every week, Pocket Gamer provides a weekly digest of the most important and popular stories from these digital pages.
We're back!
I missed a couple of weeks. Sorry! But we're back... and back with a vengeance. Pocket Gamer is bursting at the seams this week with massive guides, colossal lists, and loads of WWDC 2014 coverage.

This week, Peter and James investigate the next iOS Hitman game, do some free-to-play jousting, and play some teeny-tiny football with teeny-tiny footballers.

Ever wanted to play a version of Taito's Puzzle Bobble that is stuffed with endless in-app purchases and features all the charm and joy of a cinder block?
Then, King has you covered with bubble-popping puzzle sequel Bubble Witch Saga 2, which came out on iOS and Android this week.
The game isn't terribly good, but it has predictably shot up the App Store charts. So, we reckon there's a good ...
In a handful of hours, a lonely and rather empty part of Los Angeles will play host to thousands of industry attendees - and tens of millions of industry dollars - as E3 once again rolls into town.
Whether or not E3 is a "mobile" show in your opinion or whether you view it as a playground for the console boys, it's still an amazing time to get swept up in the enthusiasm for games which brought ma...
Radiangames is continuing to churn out mobile game releases this year with the launch of Fluid SE next week.
Fluid SE is an arcade time trial racer that has you racing around simple tracks as a wriggling fish-like creature.
Like in Pac-Man, you'll need to eat a series of dots to complete each level here. However, your main enemy in this game is the tick-tocking of the clock.

GOG.com had a little more to say about The Witcher: Adventure Game yesterday as it revealed its new GOG Galaxy service.
Digital PC game distributor GOG.com is part of the same company as The Witcher: Adventure Game developer CD Projekt, you see. Just to clear up any confusion.
GOG.com announced that The Witcher: Adventure Game will make use of GOG Galaxy when the game's beta kicks into a...
It's lift-off for Angry Birds. Having smashed up everything on Earth, Rovio's physics-led phenomenon has catapulted into the final frontier with this cosmic-themed follow-up.
It's the fourth game in the Angry Birds series and marks a complete overhaul in just about every aspect. The game - which is available on iPhone, iPad, Android, PC, and Mac - features new birds, new levels, and even all-ne...
Welcome to our video walkthroughs for Angry Birds Space. Watch the pros in action and mimic their movements, and you'll unlock those all-important stars in no time at all.
This level pack features explosive magma, shattering ice crystals, radioactive green rocks, and jet-propelled tanks that go off when struck by a bird. Which all allow for maximum carnage in this two-part chapter.
You'll ge...
As part of Madfinger's 4th anniversary celebrations, Silver Award-winning hack and slasher Samurai II: Vengeance has had its price cut down and some new bits and bobs chucked into it.
The new update transforms the game into an 'enhanced edition', adding improved handling, optimising the performance on lower end devices, and offering a tense gameplay experience.
There's also cross-...
In some Angry Birds Space levels, you'll spot a special eggsteroid. If you smash it open with a bird, a wormhole will appear, which takes you - mid-stage - to a special level.
You can always play these levels again by tapping the Eggsteroid planet on the stage select screen.
In our guide, we'll tell you which levels hide golden eggsteroids, show you where the shiny blighters are hiding, and ...
Kotaku has done some maths. That doesn't sound that exciting, but when I tell you that it's Hearthstone maths it probably still doesn't sound very exciting.
Using calculators and videos of people opening digital packs of cards, the site has worked out your chances of bagging some of the rarer cards in the game. And your chances are quite slim.
You've got a 6.33% chance of pulling a legen...
Twilight Struggle is a big ol' boardgame about the cold war. There are loads of cards and pieces and bits and sometimes you lose them down the sofa or the dog eats them and then you can't play any more.
But Playdek and GMT Games have started a Kickstarter funding campaign to create a digital version of the game and banish all of that to the past. It's already smashed its funding goals as well.

Every Friday, Pocket Gamer offers hands-on impressions of the week's three best new Android games.
Hitman GO
By Square Enix - buy on Android (£2.99 / $4.99)
This is not your average Hitman game. Baldy bloke Agent 47 looks like a chess piece, and his hunting grounds resemble architectural models. Complete with green felt grass.
It's still about sneaking past guards, hiding in potted p...
There's something compelling about restoring order from chaos, which is why sliding puzzles appear everywhere, from children's party bags to arthouse indie games.
RubPix from Bulkypix is a sliding puzzle on a much grander, more complicated scale than you've come to expect.
The simple joy of putting a picture together is still present, but it's accompanied by frustration and maybe even a litt...
Updated on June 5th at 16:50: Capcom has released a trailer and the first screenshots of Hitman: Sniper.
You can watch the trailer above. The screenshots are in the "Screens" tab at the top of this article. It's looking good.

Square Enix Montreal has announced Hitman: Sniper for mobiles and tablets, which will be further revealed at E3.

We're happy to inform you that Peter's back this week to join James for the Pocket Gamer Podcast this week. Did you miss him? Then why not come over to our Twitch channel and tell him live!
There have been plenty of great updates, releases, and reviews this week, so expect the down-low on all sorts - from deferred scuba dives to jousting madness.
We'll be playing trailers and our own hands-o...
Imagine that you could only get around by shooting a gun with enough kickback to push you around. That's the core idea in Spooklands.
It's a one-touch game in which you get lobbed into an arena with aggressive hordes of nightmarish creatures. To shoot them you just tap the screen at the place you want the shot to land.
Dodging is done in the same way, except you tap in the opposite directio...
