After a slight delay, gladiatorial co-op combat game Enterchained has been released on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.
In it, you and an AI companion have been tied together and forced to fight for your lives in the Colloseum.
Enemies will charge at you, alone and in packs, and with a variety of weapons.
You and your partner fight back by swinging you swords and tripping them over with ...
In a world always looking for the next big thing, it doesn't hurt to look back now and again.
Which is why, when considering which title to add to our growing line of Pocket Gamer Guides, we decided to focus on games that perhaps appeared a little while back but which are still going strong.
And thus The Official Pocket Gamer Guide to Cut the Rope: Time Travel was created.
Produced in clo...
It's Friday so you're probably feeling some of the stresses of the week. To get rid of them, I suggest playing Smash IT! Adventures.
It's a frantic game of taps that'll only end when you finally force your finger through the screen of your iPhone.
You're thrown right into the thick of the action as Agnes the witch fights against waves of the slooshy slime creatures known as Blarghinis.

Sony has released its free to play match-three RPG Fat Princess: Piece of Cake on iOS and Android.
The more important news for some of you may be that you can get a free download voucher for Fat Princess on PS3 if you reach Level 15 in Piece of Cake.
We discovered this when the game was soft-launched back in June. But we've confirmed that the voucher is still available even after the game's ...
Hay Ewe doesn't quite feel right. There's a lack of snap to proceedings, a woolliness to the game that manifests itself as frustration.
It's all a little too safe as well. A by-the-numbers mobile puzzler with cute animals, power-ups, and a star-based rating system.
That wouldn’t be too much of an issue if the core gameplay was teresting, but everything just feels too samey, or too bla...
What happens after you fall asleep in your bed?
According to Bart Bonte's upcoming action-puzzle game Sweet Drmzzz, a mini-you pops out of your ear and rides your alarm clock to space.
Up there, it plays with colourful space worms, collects stars, and tries not to disturb your sleeping self.
Sweet Drmzzz has this childish playfulness to it. It looks, to me, like a child's drawing brought...
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Ghostbusters, Fruit Ninja has been updated with spectral fruit, Ecto Goggles, and Proton Packs.
No, really, there be ghosts in those bananas and melons, apparently.
With the Proton Pack equipped, you can draw an X on the screen to cross the streams and blow up fruit. You can blame the resulting mess on Slimer.
Plus, if you head down to the River of...
Take a deep breath. Right, ADAM - Artificial Defense Automation Module (now breathe normally) is now out on iOS and Android.
I had my eyes give this free endless dodge 'em up a poke a couple of weeks ago due to its cute art style.
You control a robot as it passes through a 2D gauntlet of homing rockets and protruding ledges. By pressing the up and down buttons, you're able to adjust his...
As any fan of Warhammer 40,000 will know, HeroCraft soft-launched Space Wolf on the iPad last month.
It's a free to play deck building game of stompy space marines going on a slaughterfest, as per usual.
That's not the news, of course, but what is news is PG's sister site AppSpy having codes for rare cards and extra currency in the game. Can I get an "Oooooooh"?
Yep, once you've compl...
If you like pinball and South Park then you should probably be excited about South Park: Pinball. It's out right now as a standalone purchase, or as an IAP from inside Zen Pinball.
The game consists of two pinball tables. One themed around South Park in general, the other focussing on Butters. I don't really know who that is, but I typed it anyway in case you do.
As you might expect from...
The developer of intriguing looking one-on-one touchscreen brawler The Taekwondo Game has told us that it’s aiming to get the game out sometime in November. That’s like, totally next month.
The game takes a slightly different tack to your average mobile scrapper, with a focus on stamina, movement, and repeatedly kicking your opponent in the head. Okay, that last bit is pretty standard.

The Bot Squad: Puzzle Battles is a free to play mix of genres from Ubisoft. It’s out on the App Store right now, and if you like robots or collecting stars then it might be worth a look.
The game sees you leading a squad of robots across a series of levels. There are unfriendly androids to tackle, gold stars to collect, and power cores to snaffle.
It’s all presented in a reasonably shiny...
There is a certain primitive joy that comes with handling yarn. Knitters understand this feeling. So do cats.
Now Chillingo wants you to make a little yarn art with Find the Line, a puzzle game that's all about pulling some strings.
Here's a real yarn
Each level in Find the Line starts by presenting you with one or more objects made of "string." By selecting an item and manipulating a mov...
Every Friday, Pocket Gamer offers hands-on impressions of the week's three best new iPhone and iPad games.
Helix
By Smestorp - buy on iPhone and iPad (£1.99 / $2.99)
There are plenty of shooters on the App Store, but I bet you'd have trouble naming a game that’s all about flying circles around scratchy-edged retro monsters. Unless you've played Helix, that is.
Built by Michael Brough...
The third episode of Camouflaj’s sneaky dystopian techno-thriller République is set to hit the App Store on October 23rd.
It’s called Ones Zeroes, and it’s apparently the biggest episode yet, clocking in at about three hours.
And if you’re an Android gamer who’s been waiting patiently to catch up with the adventure, you’re in luck. The first three episodes are heading to the Google Play St...
There's a wonderfully simple idea at the core of Helix, and it's transferred so well to the rest of the game that it's hard not to become infected by it.
This is a game that takes retro shooters and focuses on one part of their appeal - movement. Instead of blasting your enemies, you're literally flying rings around them, circling them to clear them from the screen.
It's all controlled with ...
There isn't a ton of complexity to experimental rhythm game Incandescence, but if you're looking for some passive fun, it's out now for free on iOS and Android, and Windows Phone.
Inspired by the developer's own impulsive finger-drumming habit, the goal of Incandescence is to simply tap and drum on a dynamic neon crystal, to the beat of the music.
It can feel very passive at times, with no r...
Molyneux's free to play god sim, Godus, has received its first update, adding a whole new world to explore, powers to learn, and people to discover.
In the update, you'll be able to build an ark and send your Followers on an overseas expedition.
Weyworld, the new area that awaits them, is a dry orange desert dotted with cacti and massive plateaus, a change of scenery from their lush green ho...
Spacefaring comedy adventure with a very British heart Her Majesty's SPIFFING is now on Kickstarter.
Again. Yeah, this is the game's second appearance on the crowdfunding site, and this time developer Billy Goat Entertainment is looking for £30,000 in total.
This will go towards pushing the game's three chapters out sooner rather than later, mostly.
It says nothing about the iOS vers...
A Mechanical Story looks good in motion. It's supposed to, you see, as it's a real-time physics-based puzzler all about motion.
You're tasked with helping Mr. Mechanic to fix his newly found mechanical friend. This heart-warming tale is told through small cutscenes.
Anyway, this involves placing the missing mechanical parts from your toolbox into various contraptions under the pressure o...
