In the new update to Gold Award-winning Asphalt 8: Airborne, you can race along China's Great Wall. Yes, seriously.
In fact, Gameloft has added six new Great Wall-related tracks in this update. Expect lots of great views as you race at high speed, then.
Don't get too caught up in gazing at the scenery, mind. You may accidentally fall off the wall if you do. And if you're in the new McLaren P...
Last night, Peter and I ventured over to AppSpy's Twitch channel to broadcast the first-ever LIVE episode of the Pocket Gamer Podcast.
And thanks to a good crowd and a surprising low number of technical hiccups, we had a blast.
Despite having unseen eyes trained on our faces, we tried to stay true to the established formula. We talked about the release date for the BAFTA-winning Size Does Ma...
If you're a developer and you're not releasing a smartphone or tablet game set in Games Workshop's grim Warhammer 40,000 universe, then it appears you're in a teeny-tiny minority.
Right now, there are no fewer than six Warhammer 40K mobile titles in development or already out there, and at least one that might end up being set during this time of dark and miserable galactic conflict.
But don...
Angry Birds Go just got very chilly. Rovio has just added a new "Sub Zero" episode to the kart racer, you see.
This new episode contains 18 snow and ice tracks to race across on snowmobiles. Instead of a boss, there's a difficult Slalom race to take on in Sub Zero.
Furthermore, you can buy the new Tar Barreller L1 kart for 2,000 coins. You can unlock the other new karts with gems, Telepod to...
The promise from Beartrap Games is that its upcoming strategic shooter Sky Patrol won't be easy.
The skies will be rough.
Sky Patrol involves escorting a convoy over dangerous territory. The enemies line up across the ground below, and will also invade the sky. The clear and colourful 3D graphics help you to distinguish each layer of action.
Need a steer
There's no steering to be done ...
G'day, Australians!
Square Enix has just soft-launched Hitman GO in your local App Store with a price tag of £2.49 / $4.49.
Say what?!
Yep, you have to pay upfront to be part of this beta test. You'll get the final game at no extra cost, though.
Moves like Jagger
Still, Hitman GO does seem to have all the right moves. As you'd expect, it stars Agent 47. Unlike the other Hitman title...
Just when I was thinking to myself, "boy, I haven't played a town builder in a good long while", along comes Tiny City from Chillingo.
I've been craving one of these for a good few weeks actually, and it's nice to get a chance to review one that looks, from its App Store and Google Play product page at least, like a fairly middle-of-the-road kind of builder.
Even Chillingo's own description ...
It's nearly the weekend! I'm already half drunk on cheap vodka and year-old Skittles!
What better time to spend not very much money on a handful of pretty good Android games, then?
And with the 8th Android bundle from ikoid, you can do just that. It's built around the theme "Fast and deadly", so expect lots of speed and death, I guess.
Right now, three games are unlocked. Another two will...
Every Friday, Pocket Gamer offers hands-on impressions of the week's three best new Android games.
TriBlaster
By Bulkypix - buy on Android (74p / 99c)
TriBlaster is a decidedly retro shooter, with hints of Atari's trippy shmup Tempest and that wave of wireframe arcade games whose designers appeared to forget to add any graphics.
You're a triangle, and you tumble from lane to lane to ...
Silver Award-winning block-sliding deep freeze puzzler Lost Yeti has traipsed through the frozen tundra of the App Store to emerge snowcapped and defiant on the frozen tundra of the Google Play Store.
The game was developed by Neutronized, the studio responsible for the smashy smash-'em-up Roar Rampage. Both of these games have a similar cute comedic feel to them.
When we reviewed the iO...
"It really is AMAZING, isn't it?"
Peter Molyneux’s eyes are wide as he looks at me, waiting for a reaction.
I disappoint him. I'm stunned and a bit confused, suddenly catapulted back to the reality of the hotel suite where I'm playing Godus on his iPad.
I blink a few times, look up from the screen, and wish that he hadn't said anything at all.
Not because of what he said, of course, bu...
Bronze Award-winning mirror-shifting puzzler God of Light has slipped down from the App Store heavens and switched denomination to go and lord it over Android believers on Google Play.
The game is all about illuminating a stylised world by moving prisms around to direct a beam of light. And you do it all to a plinky-plonky new-age soundtrack created by U.N.K.L.E.
When we reviewed the iOS...
Updated on March 21st, at 8:50: Top news, zombie murderers: this update is now available on iOS, too.
Plus, the Starter Pack, Chicken Pack, Heavy Pack, and Premium Pack in-app purchases are now all half price.
Madfinger Games has updated bloodthirsty zombie blaster Dead Trigger 2 with a new mode that enables you to earn cash and rewards by killing the undead in a twisted post-apocalyptic g...
I hadn't heard of Leo's Fortune, and on the basis of a quick Google search I'm pretty sure that you too were unaware of it before clicking on this headline. It's the latest game from 1337 Game Design, which previously brought us Devil's Attorney. And it's looking very nice indeed.
You play as Leo, a hairy Russian ball on a mission to recover his stolen gold and 'catch a culprit'. You get ar...
Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor developer Tiger Style might have gone to another planet for its second game, but it has come back down to earth for its next release: Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon.
Like the first Spider, you play as an eight-legged creepy crawly and must make triangular cob webs to ensnare all manner of bugs, insects, and bees.
The sequel adds new insect types, more...
This week, the Pocket Gamer Podcast is coming at you in front of a live Twitch audience.
Today at 6pm GMT (10am PST, 1pm EST) you'll be able to banter with James and Peter about all sorts of nonsense unlike ever before.
As such, we can't tell you for sure what'll be happening because anything could happen, but there are stirrings that the following topics may be discussed:
Flappy Bird is...
Even if you're not afflicted by Candy Crush Saga addiction, you'll almost certainly know someone who is.
So, how do you break the hold this digital confectionery has on you / her / him?
We wouldn't recommend going cold turkey. It's just too painful. Instead, why not try one of these alternative treats?
Each of these five games has that warm casual puzzler appeal of King's time muncher. In...
Substantial Games has treated us all to our first look at the surprisingly elegant gameplay of its multiplayer RTS The Ember Conflict.
Not only that, but developer Substantial Games also announced that The Ember Conflict will be coming to Android on select tablets this autumn. It's still coming to iPad, of course.
Inspired by Autumn Dynasty, The Ember Conflict strips out the rapid clicks and...
The Frostrune reminds me of Year Walk for all the right reasons.
It's a first person point-and-click adventure game for mobile steeped in European mythology and ritual. The Frostrune also has no small amount of mystery hiding behind the strokes of its hand-painted world.
But instead of Swedish folklore, The Frostrune is interested in viking culture and Norse myths.
There are effigies of i...
TriBlaster is a delightfully retro vector shooter that sees you rolling around a multi-laned spacescape blasting as many bad guys as you can before your triangular avatar succumbs to their deadly fire.
You can grab green pyramids that fallen foes drop to power up your beam laser. Said projectile sprays out a hot line of glowing death.
Each level offers a different set of lanes for you to...
