10tons's gory new twin-stick shooter Crimsonland HD lets you play a few levels of the game for free, before hitting you with a one-off pay wall. It's one of an increasing number of games using the try-before-you-buy business model.
But there's a twist. If you agree to upgrade to the full game, 10tons encourages you to 'pay what you want' and lets you spend £2.99, £6.99, or £10.49. "All pric...
Have you heard of Trivia Crack?
You should have: it's an incredibly popular quiz game from developer Etermax that's available on a wide variety of platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Amazon Kindle Fire, and social network Facebook.
As you've probably already guessed, Trivia Crack encourages you to use your 'little grey cells' and put your knowledge to the test.
There are lot...
Oh look, here's a teaser trailer for Kingdom Rush Origins. What does it tell us about the game? Er, pretty much nothing.
There's a spider. And then some guys and girls. And then some monsters. And the voiceover is gibbering about destiny and war and history.
So it's probably a prequel. But then you could have worked that out from the title.
We don't know when the game is coming out, b...
I never know what to make of quick little arcade survival-type games at first.
Sometimes I play them for a second and immediately forget about them, and sometimes I totally fall in love. It's the combination of style and gameplay that does it, really.
So where does Absorption sit in that incredibly binary metric? It's sort of somewhere in the middle.
Stick close
Absorption is a pretty ...
In a post-iPhone 6 world, where developers are racing each other to achieve fabled 'onsole-quality' graphics and gameplay experiences, Cloud Knights is a charming, goofy, and downright playable throwback to a simpler time.
Taking place in a cartoony 2D universe where apparently everyone is one-armed, Cloud Knights sees you take on the role of a bearded defender of a mountainous region practical...
Halfbrick has dished up its free to play tile-matching puzzler Yes Chef! on iOS and Android.
Unlike, say, the unhealthy treats of Candy Crush Saga, Yes Chef! has us getting acquainted with vegetables. Think of it as a healthy alternative, maybe.
This isn't the first time Halfbrick has pushed healthy food in our faces. Fruit Ninja, anyeone?
You play as apprentice chef Cherry as she learns ...
Well, that didn't take long. Crimsonland HD has been released on iOS only a few weeks after its soft-launched in Canada.
This is the remastered HD version of the classic top-down shooter that was recently released on PC and PS Vita.
It's beautiful in its simplicity (and bloodiness).
You enter sprawling arenas armed to the teeth. You then try to survive wave after wave of aliens, mutant li...
I find myself in an empty Medieval town. My family have disappeared, along with the rest of the locals. Not to worry though, someone's left a string of cryptic sliding-tile puzzles for me to solve.
The Secret of Raven Rock harkens back to '90s PC point-and-click adventures like Myst. You see the world around you in first-person, and move by tapping areas you want to travel to, and objects you w...
I want to describe Machineers as being greasepunk.
It's made from scraps of metal and electrical meshing. This is a little robot world constructed out of machine parts.
It's also an inventive puzzle game that tasks you with repairing broken machines and creating your own out of gears, belts, and cables.
The first episode (of five) has been released today and it gives you 12 puzzles to sol...
Evolution Studios has had to pull the MyDriveClub companion app for its PS4 racing game Driveclub today after the game and app's servers were overloaded.
The PS Plus Edition of the game was also pulled in order to ease the pressure on the servers.

Angry Birds Seasons has been overtaken by the NBA in its latest themed update titled "Ham Dunk".
This update brings with it 15 new NBA-themed levels for you to shoot the usual cast of birds through basketball hoops, and into the evil faces of their green porcine enemies.
If you purchase the NBA Season Pass then you get access to 30 "team levels" - one level for each team in the NBA.

Seriously, a studio of ex-Rovio hats, has released its casual, free to play, tile-matching puzzler Best Fiends for iOS.
It's a story-driven if quite traditional puzzler mixed with RPG-like character progression.
It follows the story of a band of bugs fighting against the Slugs of Mount Boom in order to save their families.
Each puzzle has you matching tiles of the same nature-based icon -...
Whether you like that Castaway Paradise is bringing an Animal Crossing-like experience to iOS or not, it's late: it's just been released.
Yep, you can step onto the tropical island and get to know the villagers right now. Go fishing, grow plants, collect bugs, decorate the island, and potter about; you can do it all.
And what's more, you can do it all for free - yep, Castaway Paradise is...
Champ Man 15 is now available on Android, just three months after it first hit iOS. It's free to play, it's got football all the way up in its bones, and you can grab it from the Google Play Store right this second.
The game sees you leading a team from the lowest ranks of the Football League all the way to the top. Unless you're anything like me, in which case that team will find a new, ev...
Updated on October 9th at 12:05: Dragon Quest II has also popped up on the Google Play Store, so if you're an Android-powered player you can pick it up too.

The old gods are dead, humanity lives uneasily alongside a race of horned giants, there's a long dormant race of walking suits of armour on the rampage, and the sun is stuck in the sky.
As premises go, The Banner Saga's is a little different from your average tactical RPG.
But that doesn't cover the half of it. This is one of the freshest games of its kind - or of any kind for that matter - ...
Mistwalker's free to play tactical RPG Terra Battle is available worldwide right now on iOS and Android. So if you fancy some clever scraps you should definitely give it a play.
The game strips down tactical turn-based battles to griddy skirmishes that are all about positioning, learning which characters work best together, and making sure you're using your team to the utmost of their abili...
The second episode of time-hopping post-apocalyptic adventure The Silent Age is set to hit the App Store next week. It'll pop up as an IAP, and it'll set you back £2.99 / $4.99.
Unless, that is, you've already backed development of the second part of Joe's story, in which case you'll get a code sent to you. There's still time to do that, and it'll set you back $2.99 instead, which is a bit ...
Platformers don't always work on a touchscreen. Games like Mikey Shorts and League of Evil have made a valiant effort, but a slab of glass is never going to be a replacement for a controller bristling with buttons.

Making video games is as precarious as playing Kerplunk. Mess up one small aspect of a game and it can all fall apart. It's a fact that's especially obvious in the case of Air Race Speed.
