Ubisoft has announced a new game and, surprisingly, it's not yet another entry in its Assassin's Creed series.
Instead, it's a free to play hybrid of tower defence and puzzle games called The Bot Squad: Puzzle Battles.
It has you controlling a team of bots searching for an orb of energy across the trap-filled arenas of Dynamo City.
Its 180 stages (across four strategic puzzle modes) are p...
Do you want a free game? Of course you do! Who doesn't? Well this month's IGN freebie is the Bronze Award-winning Ski Safari: Adventure Time, will that do you? I hope so, because it's all I've got to offer.
The game is basically a reskinning of Ski Safari, with all of your favourite characters from Adventure Time dropped in. There's the boy one, and the dog one, and the one that's a unicorn...
Wolverine is punching Iron Man in the face. Adamantium slashes, repulsors are fired. It's a big super hero comic book scrap and I'm in control of it.
Everything looks gorgeous. Logan's big hairy arms are all bouncy and angry, and Tony Stark's suit glints in the light of some alien sun.
Marvel Contest of Champions is a super-powered free to play brawler that's just been soft launched in D...
First and foremost, The Sagas of Fire*Wolf is a pretty decent bargain.
You get four books for the price of one, and while they might not be as swish as the likes of Appointment with F.E.A.R and 80 Days, there's still a huge amount of adventuring to be done here.
The game is presented in Tin Man's brilliant gamebook engine, and it's just as slick and poised as we've come to expect. Dice clatt...
Every now and again we encourage you to "Kickstart this".
Which is to say we point your eyeballs at a game or hardware project on Kickstarter (or other crowdfunding sites) that may be of interest to you.
And then we never mention it again until the game comes out. And seeing as many of these projects are unsuccessful, that may never even happen.
So every now and again we're going to check...
Monsu is a highly polished free to play endless runner. If that sentence bored you to tears, then you may as well stop reading now, because this game definitely isn't for you.
But if you're open to another cartoony gold collector with a few tricks up its sleeve, then Monsu is worth a look. It's eminently playable, good looking, and snaps along at a decent pace.
There's nothing startlingly or...
Every week, Pocket Gamer provides a weekly digest of the most important and popular stories from these digital pages.
It has been a bumper week for new mobile games.
There was card-based roguelike Card Dungeon (iOS) the sadly disappointing Beatbuddy HD (iOS), twin-stick maze game Inferno 2 (iOS), and board game Galaxy Trucker (iPad).
And there was Kickstarted Viking adventure The Banner S...
Funding news dominated the headlines this week, with Stolen Couch Games, adtech startup Remerge, and Danish outfit Hugo Games receiving $315,000, $1 million, and $4 million respectively.
Over in the east, a localisation expert from Spellgun explained why Chinese gamers are demanding more pay-to-win games, while Japanese social mobile gaming network DeNA dropped the Mobage brand from its platfor...
Undefeated, the massive, 30 plus hour RPG Maker game from Aldorlea Games, is available to purchase now on Google Play for £2.99 / $4.99, with an iOS release on the way.
Created in RPG Maker VX Ace, the most recent version of Entertain's popular game development software, Undefeated is said to be the first official mobile port of an RPG Maker project.
It's an impressive port, too, featuring a...
Disney has removed Tiny Death Star and Star Wars Assault Team from both the App Store and Google Play, after the free to play games were available for just 11 and five months, respectively.
A source close to the subject has told Pocket Gamer that the games have been removed permanently so that Disney and Lucasfilm can focus on other, higher priority titles (like the recently launched Clash ...
Every Friday, Pocket Gamer offers hands-on impressions of the week's three best new iPhone and iPad games.
Galaxy Trucker
By Czech Games Edition - buy on iPad (£2.99 / $ 4.99)
Galaxy Trucker is a sort of multiplayer boardgame version of FTL. First you have to race your opponent to assemble a ship from the same stack of face-down cards, trying to work out which bits should go where and d...
I'll be honest: I don't think ADAM - Artifical Defense Automation Module is a very good title for this game.
I thought it was going to be another 360-degree shooter in which you play a military robot shooting anything that moves.
Turns out, it's not - it's about a cute robot that's just trying to dodge hazards to get through life. It's almost adorable, actually.
You play as ADAM and move...
If you were wondering what the best-reviewed iOS and Android games on the web last month were, here are the iPhone Quality Index, iPad Quality Index, and Android Quality Index round-ups for September to fill you in.
The iPhone, iPad, and Android Quality Indexes boast over 650,000 reviews (in total) from websites like 148Apps, Pocket Gamer, and IGN, and use a unique metric to create a single def...
How do you fancy a deathly dance? Yes - well, Featherweight Games has announced that Enterchained is coming out on October 7th.
As I told you back in July, Enterchained has you controlling two gladiators fighting for their lives in a coliseum's arena.
They've been tied together with a chain, which should make things more difficult for them, but you'll be using it to your advantage.
You co...
There's a glut of puzzling RPGs on the App Store. The sort of game where you match stuff to whomp monsters in the face with magically enchanted weapons.
Adventure Xpress is Adult Swim throwing its hat into that crowded ring. The template is a familar one. The bottom of the screen is a grid made up of multiple different coloured gems. The top is a scrap between your character and a monster.
M...
Student team Pixel Opus has released Entwined Challenge on iOS and Android.
It's essentially the same dual-stick action game that was released on PS4 and Vita back in July. The different is that it has a new version of the Challenge Mode.
This includes a new scoring system and new unlockables (concept art, behind-the-scenes sketches).
If you're not familiar, Entwined Challenge tests your ...
Gameloft's Silver Award-winning shooter Modern Combat 5: Blackout is on sale for the first time since it was released back in July.
Yep, on both iOS and Android (but now Windows Phone), you can grab the game for £2.49 / $3.99 right now. That's down from its full price of £4.99 / $6.99.
Even if you don't know what Modern Combat 5 is all about, it's easy to get a rough idea.
Picture a first...
Skullduggery! is a game all about using a disembodied skull's brain to twang it around a series of levels. It's gross. It's also quite a lot of fun.
We first saw the game at one of our Big Indie Pitch events, and you can check out what the verbose Rob Hearn thought of it by clicking on this link right here.
The game takes Angry Birds's drag-back-to-fire mechanic, but adds it to a frantic pla...
In the 1990 episode of The Simpsons titled "Bart the Daredevil," Homer Simpson attempts to jump over Springfield Gorge on a skateboard. He doesn't make it, and what follows is a long, painful fall that's simultaneously hilarious and cringe-inducing.
Playing Turbo Dismount by Secret Exit is a bit like re-watching Homer's rough tumble, except the carnage is guided by your own hand - and, thankful...
Are you playing Super Smash Bros. while you read this? No?
Maybe it's you haven't picked up the Gold Award-winning Super Smash Bros. yet. Or perhaps you are in dire need of a 3DS.
Well, you can solve all your problems by entering our competition for the extravagant Super Smash Bros. Limited Edition 3DS XL bundle!
This very swish bundle comes with the gorgeous red 3DS XL below with all you...
