Gameloft has let the release date of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 loose from its web at long last.
It will be coming to iOS, Android, and Windows Phone this week, so expect to be able to pick it up this on Thursday, April 17th.
This is the open-world sequel to Gameloft's first, Silver Award-winning mobile game adaptation of Marvel's arachnid-like superhero.
You'll be able to combo-hit all th...
DrinkBox Studios made Guacamelee! Guacamelee! is ace, so as soon as we heard the dev was working on a mobile game we all got a bit giddy and had a dance around. We're a silly bunch.
The game is called Severed and it's a swipey slidey adventure action game with a stunning art style.
And as the name suggests, it's all about cutting bits of your foes off. And then sticking them on yourself, whi...
Over at PAX East Harmonix, the dev behind the Guitar Hero craze, has revealed that it's working on some mobile games.
The first of them, which should be released sometime soon, is called Record Run and is about running around and collecting records. Probably.
Apparently the game will use the music stored on your phone. This will change the gameplay, as well as giving you a cool soundtrac...
If you think that the auto runner genre lacks style or inspiration you've clearly never played Boson X.
You can change that right now by grabbing the Gold Award-winning sci-fi sprinter for just 69p / 99c.
The game is all about navigating through the twisting insides of a particle accelerator, leaping from platform to platform, and grabbing energy from special tiles along the way.
At r...
Every week, Pocket Gamer provides a weekly digest of the most important and popular stories from these digital pages.
Last week was a good week to be a mobile gamer.
Between ethereal Escher-inspired adventure game Monument Valley and sci-fi roguelike FTL, it was a big week for heavy hitters that reminded you why you still bother to play games on your tablet.
This week was a little more su...
There's an enormous mechanical stomping device smashing down into the ground at irregular intervals.
It flashes its arrival at the top of the screen, but I'm far too busy murdering spindly-egged supernatural alien head crabs to pay that much attention.
A triple gun power-up appears on the other side of the screen and I sprint over, spraying out a gout of hot lead-based death as I do. A quick...
NimbleBit-published animal collection game Disco Zoo has just popped up on Google Play.
The game has you rescuing animals from around the world by playing a simple tile-turning mini-game. Your critter collection then produces money. You spend this dough on rescuing more animals.
It's a devilishly simple setup that will either engross you for hours or bore you in minutes. In our Bronze Award ...
This week, podcast regular Peter and I are joined by Pocket Gamer's reviewer extraordinaire Harry Slater to review the latest mobile gaming news.
During the show, we discuss the latest TV-inspired tap-fest Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff, and debate the effectiveness of comedy in gaming.
Also, we reveal the number of Threes! clones that appear on the App Store every day. Spoiler: it's more t...
My dad is an angler, but I've never quite seen the appeal of the sport. For him it must be a chance to compose his thoughts and clear his head in a serene environment. For me, it's a fiddly exercise in inefficient hunting, which entails getting up at 4AM to murder animals.
But fishing in video games has always been appealing to me. I've spend hours doing it in Wild World and New Leaf, there was...
Every Friday, Pocket Gamer offers hands-on impressions of the week's three best new Android games.
Impossible Road
By Pixels on Toast – buy on Android (£1.49 / $1.99)
A beautifully twitchy high score chaser, Impossible Road is just as beguilingly brutal as its title and stark blue and white style suggest.
You're trying to stop a ball rolling off a thin strip of path that twists, drop...
Fans of mobile strategy rejoice! Age of Empires is returning to pockets this summer with the release of Age of Empires: World Domination.
This time around the game has been built from the ground up for phones and tablets, and apparently features a control system that's both simple and intuitive. Hopefully that means there won't be a mass of buttons crowding the screen.
From the first tra...
Dead End is a bloody action racer where OutRun-esque drifting and dodging meets a gritty Death Proof style. Oh, and zombies.
After choosing tilt or touch controls, you'll take to the road to splatter zombie goo all over the road and smear blood all over your windshield. Turns out that's a way to make a living.
Cash is earned by smashing into zombies and earning chain multipliers. There's an ...
Beavertap Games has unveiled the third game in its much loved Mikey series. It's called Mikey Boots, and it's coming to mobile devices in 2014.
The short trailer - found over on TouchArcade - shows that Boots mixes the jumping of Mikey Shorts, and the grapple-hook swinging of Mikey Hooks, with new rocket-powered jet boots.
Get your hooks in
And, with the sort of finely-tuned timing th...
Intriguing noir-style art heist game Third Eye Crime is coming to the App Store on April 24th, and it will arrive on Android sometime shortly after that.
You play as psychic art burglar Rothko who has the ability to see where guards are looking and where they plan to go next. Which is a very handy ability for a thief, I'm sure.
If you get spotted by the rozzers, but then manage to lose t...
Hey, remember that weird Hitman GO game we showed you earlier in the year? The one that looks like a tabletop board game or an architect's diorama? Well, it's coming to iOS on April 17th.
Despite the fact that everything's shrunken down to Monopoly size, it still features murderous baldy bloke Agent 47 as he skulks around, offing people of questionable morals.
It will have 68 levels - some o...
How many copies do you think Minecraft: Pocket Edition has sold?
If you said more than 21 million then you're right, and you've probably read the big blue title at the top of the article. Well done you.
The ridiculously big number means that the Pocket Edition of the sandbox builder is the best-selling version, having shifted 7 million more units than its closest rival, the PC edition.
...
Hahahaha, remember that episode of Family Guy when they were all sick and then said something offensive to Meg? That was a good one.
And what's with the dog? Hahahahaha. Such classic moments.
And now you can do those moments and more on your phone thanks to Family Guy The Quest for Stuff, a thinly veiled re-skinning of that Simpsons game that wasn't very good.
There might be a joke in tha...
Supercell's domineering strategy game Clash of Clans got a monster update last night that added a much requested feature: clan wars.
These let you entire clans go to battle, in large scale, two day conflicts to win big buckets of loot and othersuch spoils.
But how do you get in a clan, and how do you start a clan war? What does it mean to be ineligible for war and why do some players get stu...
With the latest in its ever extending line of digital Fighting Fantasy adaptations, Tin Man Games has wandered off into space.
The newest release is called Starship Traveller and it's out right now on the Google Play Store and the App Store.
This time around you're gallivanting around space with a big crew, engaging in three different types of futuristic battles, fiddling with the stats of y...
Like a thief who has been caught red handed, Rovio has restored access to Tiny Thief's fourth and fifth chapters, for iOS gamers who had purchased the charming puzzler before it went free-to-play last week.
PG commenters and App Store reviewers were up in arms when they went to re-download Tiny Thief to check out its new Bewitched update, only to find that some of the original chapters were now...
