The mobile friendly version of Hunted Cow's explosive action shooter, Crystal Reign Pocket, is out now for iPhone and iPod owners.
Crystal Reign was released as an iPad-only game earlier this year. It's about defending a magical tower by firing ballistics in a catapult-like manner, similar to Angry Birds.
You're firing at the robotic menace that attacks the crystal of your tower. And when yo...
Wavefront has been a long time coming.
It's an action puzzler that was originally released as Waveform for PC back in 2011, and I loved it.
It's actually the first game by Eden Industries, who you may now know as the studio creating the Earthbound-inspired RPG Citizens of Earth.
Wavefront is quite a bit different from that game, mind. You manipulate the amplitude and wavelength of a wave ...
It may have seemed like a long lost announcement from 2012, back when people were still interested in Angry Birds, but Rovio recently announced an Angry Birds film nonetheless.
It's going to be called 'Angry Birds,' in case you were wondering.
This got us to wondering what other iOS games might be worthy of the CGI movie treatment. Not so easy when even many of the better games out there lac...
I Am Dolphin is the name of a real game. It's coming out at midnight on iOS. It looks pretty great.
Simply put, I Am Dolphin is a physics-based dolphin simulator. Playing as either Bandit, Simon, or Zoey, you eat fish, avoid sharks, and generally mess around in the water.
You can even torpedo out of the water, somersaulting into the air, recreating that magical moment in Ecco the Dolphin.

Tail Drift isn't your typical arcade combat racing game. For starters, it's a competition between planes. Secondly, the track is a floating tube in the sky.
A bit odd, then, but it's a wonderful thing to just look at. I'm a fan of bright colours, what can I say?
The game is probably best compared to Mario Kart - and I'm not saying that just because of its sunshine visuals.
You see, there ...
The iBomber series is back once again with iBomber 3 released today for fans of blowing stuff up.
The first iBomber, released in 2010, wasn't all that great. It was a poor port of a World War II action game.
But developer Cobra Mobile has since successfully adapted the series into a really quite good take on tower defence, with iBomber Defense Pacific, and iBomber Attack.
Now, however, Co...
Stigol and Chillingo's swish picture-hunting puzzler Find The Line comes out tonight for iOS.
It involves constructing line art pictures out of fragments that you scroll through.
In each of its 200 puzzles, you select a line of your choice, then use a slider on the bottom of the screen to scroll that line through all of its possible positions.
Once you think you've found where that line ...
Dragon Quest II has just popped up on the New Zealand App Store, which means the classic RPG should be landing in the UK later tonight.
It follows in the footsteps of Dragon Quest VIII, Dragon Quest IV, and Dragon Quest I, and shows Square Enix is pretty serious about filling the App Store up with Dragon Quest games. Who knows what'll turn up next?
I mean, it'll almost certainly be Drago...
If you're looking for a racing game that doesn't take itself too seriously, you might want to keep your eye on the App Store later today. That's because Reckless Racing 3 has just hit New Zealand, which means it'll be out in the UK at midnight tonight.
This new version features a Gymkhana mode that's all about flipping out crazy stunts, and a Drift mode that gives you extra points for takin...
The Magnificent Pixel Dynasty is a sequel of sorts to the ambitious but flawed All Glory to the Pixel King.
Again you're building 2D castles to house your monarch, and again you're scrapping against other players' creations to try and earn gold to spend on more materials to increase your defences.
But there are some interesting twists this time around. You're aiming to build a castle that wi...
Pixel Boat Rush is a lot tougher than any game about pixel boat racing has any right to be.
And the good news is it's just landed in New Zealand, which means it'll be hitting the UK App Store at midnight tonight.
The game sees you piloting a retro powerboat over a decidedly lumpy sea. You've also got a gun, and a bunch of other competitors who want nothing more than sending you off to the bi...
Updated on October 8th, at 11:52: We've only gone and added a bunch more bundles. This time, we added the Baldur's Gate, Worms, and Great Little War Game franchises, and bundles from Laser Dog, Fixpoint, Witching Hour, and Sega.
We also wondered why we can't get a bundle of all the Grand Theft Auto games. Come on Rockstar, get on it.
A cool new feature in iOS 8 (how many times have we said...
Skullduggery! is a clever platformer that's about flinging a disembodied head around a variety of dungeons. It's just hit the App Store in New Zealand, which means it should be out in the UK at midnight tonight.
The game is a slick and entertaining leaper that takes Angry Birds's slingshot mechanic and applies it to a quick-witted platformer.
So you're twanging a skull around, collecting...
The Trip is a pretty simple endless runner with a couple of tricks up its sleeve. It's also free, and it looks lovely, so you don't really have anything to lose by giving it a go.
You control a little camper van that's scooting across a hand-drawn landscape. Tapping makes you jump. At least it does to start with. Crystals fall from the sky and grabbing them changes what your tap does.
Yo...
Life is cheap in the world of mobile video games. Many of today's biggest hits see your little avatar meeting a grim end within seconds of hitting start.
Of course, you then hit restart, and it all starts over again. Nothing lost.

Designed with no fail state and no time limit, ORBB is a relaxing puzzler about hopping from planet to planet, and the occasional wormhole, collecting stars on the way.
The better you utilize the rotation of planets, their gravitational pull, and a good sense of timing, the less moves you need to make to collect the stars in each level.
There are 60 levels total. While the main game focuses ...
SUPERHYPER combines the frantic twitch controls of Super Hexagon with the strategic auto-running of Temple Run.
Playable with just one hand, SUPERHYPER takes place on a floating strip with winding lanes, grooves, and other obstacles you must swipe to dodge.
Swipe left or right to change lanes, and forward to cross gaps without falling through.
From the looks of its screenshots and a new v...
Spirits of Spring is the sort of game that doesn't come round very often. It's beautifully crafted, subtle, and lets you play at your own pace.
It's a puzzle game and an adventure wrapped into one, held together by a story about friendship and change in the lands of endless spring.
You control a young boy called Chiwatin, who can control forest spirits. When some terrifying crows start steal...
Hidden round the side of Square-Enix's giant stage was a small booth with playable versions of the latest incarnation of their once smartphone-exclusive series, Chaos Rings III.
The iPad version was joined by a PS Vita counterpart, titled Chaos Rings III: Prequel Trilogy as it includes Chaos Rings, Chaos Rings II, and Chaos Rings Omega.
While the first game did appear on PS Vita as a Pla...
Incandescence is a game for people like me, and probably people like you, too. It's coming out for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone on October 16th.
Unable to work without music, I find myself finger drumming on my desk every other minute of my waking life. A song comes on, and there I am, drumming away.
This is probably why Incandescence seems very easy to me.
It's an experimental game th...
