Bear in mind that as well as getting the Android ver...

Watch_Dogs Companion: ctOS Mobile is the appallingly long winded companion app for the recently released sneaky hacky open world console game.
Unlike your usual companion app, this one looks to be more than just a selection of maps, gewgaws, and brand interfacing.

Major Magnet Arcade isn't a free-to-play game. Even though it says that it is in the App Store screenshots. It's 69p / 99c, and it's quite good when it actually works.

The App Store description for Heroes of Camelot is really long. So, because I'm nice, I've written a summary of it for you. Yep, this is what its maker is promising potential players.

Every so often, I'm reminded of the advice my college fencing coach gave us at the beginning of one semester.
"You don't need to be flashy to win, hell - you don't even need to change what you're doing. If something works, and it scores a point, keeping doing it until it doesn't work. Then change what you're doing."
That's paraphrased somewhat, and you can picture him barking out a la Vince L...
