A new iOS freebie called Vektor is a mix of top-down endless runner, classic motorbike brawler Road Rash, and cyberpunk classic Akira.
You play as a courier, intent on delivering top secret documents on your futuristic hoverbike. As you speed down the motorway you'll have to dodge cars, and beat up mercenaries.
It's simple enough: you tilt your phone to weave in and out of traffic, and t...
Zombie Catchers is a bouncy new iOS game, about snagging the undead with a big ol' harpoon gun.
You play as a weird green alien who's started a business turning zombies into smoothies. So, you've got to lure the undead out with chunky pink brains and then hit them with your harpoon.
You'll eventually face more tricky enemies, and get to use more toys including a jet pack, a net gun, tran...
It's always refreshing to see genres blended in a different way. We've all played match-three puzzlers that add some RPG scrapping, but I don't remember playing a mash-up of a puzzler and Spelunky.
That's sort of what Puzzle to the Centre of the Earth is though. You match your way through levels, all the while leading a little adventurer deeper down towards the core of the planet.
There's go...
Updated on October 29th, at 7:51: We've updated the list with some fresh bargains on games like Limbo, Skullduggery!, Walking Dead : Season 2, Organ Trail: Director's Cut, The Room 2, and Hellraid: The Escape.
Original story follows…
A bunch of games featuring scary themes like zombies, disease, dungeons, and Benedict Cumberbatch have gone on sale across iOS and Android to celebrate Nation...
Have you ever wanted to golf, infinitely, without being stuck in a bleak desert wasteland?
Do you prefer abstract mini-golf structures floating in an empty white void over realistic golf sims?
NimbleBit has the game for you.
Golfinity, as its name suggests, is a golfing game of infinite proportions, from the folks behind the Silver Award-winning Nimble Quest.
It isn't available yet, bu...
Monster Strike is, well, it's odd.
It's a weird combination of air hockey and free to play games like Puzzle Dragons. But while all of the puck-shuffling can be entertaining, it still feels like more of the same in slightly different packaging.
It's just a fling
The framework of Monster Strike might seem familiar, because it is. It's the same kind of approach several other freemium puzz...
Bitcoin Billionaire is an upcoming idle tapping game for mobile. That means it plays a lot like the enormously popular Cookie Clicker.
Instead of clicking for cookies, you tap your screen to earn bitcoins, which you can then spend on material possessions.
You'll start off with a rickety office, and be able to upgrade to the latest technological entertainment, cat adoption, and priceless work...
Square Enix is releasing Final Fantasy VII G-Bike in Japan for iOS and Android on October 30th.
The news comes from the latest issue of Japanese magiazine Famitsu.
As a reminder, G-Bike is based on the combat biking mini-game in Final Fantasy VII.
You play as Cloud riding on a motorcycle as he takes out enemies with his sword, which expends Materia - Final Fantasy VII's energy source...
I can understand playing with Neeko's rubbery hair follicles, and tickling its pudgy belly, but why would you shove your finger around its gob?
This is a question that came to me while watching the trailer for Neeko, which is the virtual pet game starring this blobby orange monster.
I then found out that the answer is that Neeko has some annoying bugs inside and around him that you need to g...
Critics of the game of basketball point to a scoring system that verges on the meaningless, and to a lack of inherent depth covered over by glitzy streetwise presentation.
They're wrong, of course, but Rival Stars Basketball doesn't help such perceptions by leaving itself open to just such criticisms.
Whole new ball game
Rival Stars Basketball's issues are nothing to do with the sport of ...
New on Kickstarter is a game called Target Acquired, which sees developer TouchTen Games trying to hit as many of the internet's collective interests as possible.
It has a Japanese cat policewoman as a main character, for example, which should send a cat-loving otaku wild (and there are surely many of those on the internet).
TouchTen also points to the fact that the team creating Target...
Digitized Dungeons Dragons boardgame Lords of Waterdeep has had its price halved on iOS.
Instead of picking it up for £4.99 / $6.99, right now it's available for £2.49 / $3.99. As ever, we don't know how long this price drop will last, so be quick about snatching it up.
Lords of Waterdeep is a turn-based strategy game that has you playing as a masked lord. You must send adventurers out in...
Boo!
Now I have your attention, I'd like you to know that the Silver Award-winning roguelike DUNGEONy is free right now.
It's a limited-time offer, so you're going to want to move quickly to snap it up before its price is piled back on.
For those of you who, for some reason, need a little bit more to be convinced to download a game for free, here's a quick overview.
You dungeon craw...

While Swap Heroes mixes puzzling elements and simplified RPG-style ideas, it brings something fresh to the slightly over-crowded genre.
There's a focus on tactical combat underlying the gameplay here, and a clever set of unlocks that let you experiment with different rosters of heroes.
As bite-sized scrappers go, there's a lot here to like. It's fast-paced, easy to pick-up, and offers neatly...
Downloads of the Pandemic-like virus simulator Plague Inc. have been boosted in recent weeks, amongst the fervour surrounding the Ebola virus.
According to MailOnline, downloads in the last week were 50 percent greater than the week before. Not the biggest bump the game's ever seen, says creator James Vaughan, but "I think this is the first time a real world situation has been the reason wh...
Rocketcat Games (Wayward Souls) and Madgarden (Chillaxian) have shared a new video of their next collaboration: randomised, perma-death, zombie simulator, Death Road to Canada.
The game puts you in charge of a group of five survivors who must travel from Florida to Canada, and manage starvation, personality conflicts, and massive hordes of zombies.
There are choose-your-own-adventure sty...
Manic stock trading game, and Silver Award winner The Firm has gone free for a couple days.
The game is criminally simple: you've got to buy green stocks that are on the up and ditch those that are crashing. The opposite is true for red stocks. You buy and sell by swiping left and right.
Things get a little harder when the speed is cranked up and you've got a mountain of stocks on your d...
Addictive zig-zagging face-melter Wave Wave has been completely overhauled in its latest update - on iOS now, and coming eventually to Android.
It's still an impossibly hard game about darting through a gauntlet of spiky triangles while the camera spins and trance music pelts your ear drums. But it now has new visuals, different tracks, and more modes.
The new Wave Wave also lets you rec...
After a brief spell on the South African App Store, squad-based battler Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf is now available to download, worldwide.
The game is a curious mash-up of a turn-based strategy game and a collectible card battler. You've got cozy squad battles, but your weapons and abilities are dictated by the cards in your deck.
In terms of the story, you'll obviously command the Sp...
