Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed, Sega's shape-shifting kart racer, has had its price dashed down to nothing at all on iOS and Android.
When we reviewed the game at the start of the year we gave it a Gold Award, calling it "an incredibly slick kart racer that marks a new high point for iOS kart racers and stands as another exemplary console conversion."
And now you can pick all of th...

If XCOM does or doesn't work on your Android gizmo of choice, please leave a commen...

Updated on April 24th, at 7:47: If you live outside of the US, you may be wondering where the heck this game is.
We got in touch with Disney who told us that "the game hasn't launched in EMEA [Europe, the Middle East, and Africa] yet." However, "there are plans for it in the future."
We'll let you know when it turns up
Last year, Disney took its ultra popular Where's My Water franchise ...

Madpxl has just released its colourful action-arcade iOS game Microtrip on Android. Guess what? It's completely free.
Don't you iOS folk start grumbling, though. You haven't been short-changed or anything. You see, the iOS version of Microtrip has shed its 69p / 99c price tag and is now also available for free. Happy? Good.
In Microtrip, you tilt a blob down through the insides of a crea...
Gameloft has just updated its Silver Award-winning driving game GT Racing 2 with diamond-encrusted cars. I'm not joking.
The W Motors Lykan Hypersport is now unlockable through the GT Challenge series. Only seven of these cars will be produced (outside of the game). And, yep, there are 420 diamonds encrusted into the front lights.
Next up on the updates list are new limited-time Team Bat...
Mi-Clos Studio's Gold Award-winning space exploration sim Out There is probably the cheapest way to die right now. Over and over again.
It's on sale over on Google Play, you see. Instead of grabbing it for its usual price of £2.49 / $3.99, you can pick it up for £1.49 / $1.99 for a limited time.
In Out There, you manage your spaceship's oxygen supplies and fuel until you run out... and d...
A couple of weeks ago, I spoke to Leandro de Brasi of Blyts about his studio's adventure game Inspire Me.
It's a humorous game in which you play a time-travelling brat attempting to help Isaac Newton, Beethoven, and Da Vinci find their inspiration. They lost it because you've been a fool and messed with history too much, you see.
As with most traditional point-and-click adventure games,...
If you're an Android user and in need of a virtual friend to lift your mood, you're in luck. That's because the Bronze Award-winning Clumsy Ninja just surfaced on Google Play.
Clumsy Ninja is a bit like classic Tamagotchi in that you have a character with which to interact inside your phone. Instead of clearing up his poop, though, you train him up and go on adventures via mini-games.

Humble Mobile Bundle 5 has had three new games added to it, meaning you can bag 9 games for just over $5.25. That's pretty cheap for 9 games.
The new additions are Bronze Award-winning card-craft platformer Paper Monsters, Bronze Award-winning retro blasting classic R-Type, and weird ursine driving sim Enviro-Bear 2010.
The new trio continue the slightly underwhelming feel of the bundle,...
There's a big old sale kicking off on the Google Play Store right now, with a whole fat splodge of really rather excellent games going for somewhere close to dirt cheap.
And in an interesting twist not all of the games are included on the big page advertising the sale. Because obviously that would make things too easy.
The biggest draws of the spring price slash come in the shape of Fireproo...
The brilliant alien eradication sim XCOM: Enemy Unknown is coming to Android, according to the game's official Twitter feed.
It will be available on Google Play and the Amazon Appstore, and is due out "soon".
If you haven't played it, the game puts you in charge of a secret military project to rid the world of an alien menace. You have to build your base, hire troops, launch satellites, and ...
If you've ever ridden a unicycle, you'll know that balancing on one in a confined area is very difficult. That's precisely what Bamba is about, though.
This one-touch game from Brazilian graphic designer Simon Ducroquet has you keeping a unicyclist from falling over for a certain amount of time.
There are 25 levels here, and each of them contains a tricky mechanism for you to contend with. I...
In a slice of news that we all saw coming, the Wall Street Journal has revealed that Apple and Google are scrapping it out over exclusive games.
The two companies are apparently offering to heavily promote titles in exchange for a period of exclusivity. This is according to several "people familiar with the situation."
Quite who these people are is unclear, but they cite Plants vs Zombies 2 ...
There's something uniquely beguiling about Monument Valley's twisty, architecturally impossible puzzling.
In fact the only complaint we had about the game in our review, where we gave it a Gold Award, was that it was a little on the short side.

There's some joy ahead for Android-owning fans of indie match-three RPG puzzlers.
The Bronze Award winning 10000000 has dropped its price by 70 per cent. This means that if you act quickly, you can take advantage of the spring sale and download it for 99c / 69p - a refreshing discount from its usual $2.99 / £1.99 asking price.
Retro down to its very last pixel, 10000000 (that's 10 million, f...
The card-battling faithful are no doubt counting down the days to the July 18 release of Magic 2015: Duels of the Planeswalkers, and Wizards of the Coast has given them a whole new reason to get excited.
This new iteration of the seminal card-battler will add 14 cards designed by some of the biggest names in the industry into its core set.

Can you think of a genre that's defined smartphone gaming more than the puzzler? We can't.
From early Tetris clones and match-three puzzlers to tactile physics-based efforts and right through to the sophisticated genre hybrids of more recent times. It's puzzler heaven on the Google Play Store right now.
The continued popularity of the puzzler means that we have to update our list of top reco...
