Angry Birds Star Wars II has been updated with a bunch of new content that ties in with the new Star Wars: Rebels animated series.
There are 24 new levels set around the current episode, as well as 12 new characters from the series. You can hunt down Jedi, or join the burgeoning rebellion and be cool like Han Solo. Or something.
You also get 16 new 'Master your Destiny" levels, which let...
There's something ridiculously satisfying about the perfect headshot. In a world dominated by games that involve manipulating your environment with bullets, it's the ultimate coup de grace.
Hitman: Sniper, which has just been soft launched in Canada, understands that. The best shots are about holding your breath, squeezing the trigger, then watching your opponent's head explode in a shower ...
If you've seen my hands-on video with the game already over on AppSpy, then you'll know that Kill Shot is setting itself up to be a cross between Sniper Elite and one of those hunting games Glu likes to put out every now and again.
I'm up for a bit of first person shooty shooty action where I can say "phwoar, look at that big gun" and "ouch, I bet that hurt", so I'm pretty excited to spend a we...
Card Dungeon's clever blend of dungeon-crawling, board, and card game magic has hit the App Store, at a discounted price of £1.49 / $1.99.
In Card Dungeon, you're allotted three cards at the beginning of your run, and can use only one each turn.
Cards contain specific abilities, such as attacking, defending, healing, magic, and more, so you must choose wisely if you want to last more than a ...
Terra Battle has a release date now that it has been in soft-launch for about a month.
According to Touch Arcade, it will be exiting soft-launch on October 9th as that's when it will be officially released.
We've been "cautiously optimistic" about Terra Battle. Not just because it's the latest game from Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, but because we've been playing it.
It's an R...
The air is your enemy in Pixel Boat Rush. I found this out the hard way: by exploding.
This arcade combat racer is the next game from XperimentalZ Games. That's the studio behind the Silver Award-winning endless platformer Platforms United.
Everything that we said in our review of Platforms United applies to Pixel Boat Rush. So, yes, it has "deft controls", and is one of the "freshest" racin...
Thief Lupin 2 makes robbery very, very accessible. It just takes one finger, in fact. Anyone can be a robber - even you.
We never covered the first Thief Lupin game, so all we have to go on is this free to play sequel. From what I've played so far, it seems alright.
You play a master thief who travels around the world stealing precious treasures and a lot of gems. For your crimes, you'll fac...
Star Warfare 2: Payback has colourful aliens, third-person shooting, and co-op multiplayer.
So, let's say that, for argument's sake, you don't have access to Bungie's Destiny. Star Warfare 2 isn't going to cure that, but perhaps it can help scratch that itch.
You get to dress up in a shiny spaceman suit. You get given big guns. And there are lots of aliens to shoot. What more do you want?

Kemco has brought its previously Android-only RPG Soul of Deva over to the shores of iOS today.
This time you'll be following the adventures of Sania, who is known as the "Savior", as she travels with a group to the far west region of Raglis.
RPG Soul of Deva is set in a fantasy land in which humans live among and in fear of demons. The party you accumulate and level up in the game is a mix ...
The worst games aren't the ones with rubbish ideas and boring concepts. They're the ones that actually sound great on paper, but completely fail to capitalise on those ambitious promises.
Beatbuddy is one such game. Not a terrible game by any stretch of the word, but a disappointment - especially considering the fact that the concept behind the game is fabulously clever.
Each level pulsates ...
Perhaps the cutest goods you could grab for playing a game at TGS were from the Space Pirate Popet stand, in the shape of little shiba inu cube plushes. I am a bit of a fiend for goodies, so I wandered over.
Assaulted by colours and animal cries, I saw what I thought to be a frantic match-3 puzzler. I was wrong though - this is much more than that.
In Space Pirate Popet you can match animals...
Remember that Fruit Ninja update we told you about? You know, the one that apparently rebuilds the game from scratch? Well, it's out now.
First off, the game's blades and dojos now have unique effects on the fruit-slicing action.
There are bonus powers, extra time, and other "fresh surprises" to discover and combine in order to get as high a score as possible.
An example of one of these ...
For some ungodly reason, ex-pro wrestler Hulk Hogan has, well, wrestled his way into Crazy Taxi: City Rush the latest free update.
I know this may seem incredulous, but believe me, it's true.
So, as of today, and for the entirety of October, there's a Hulkamania Takeover happening inside City Rush.
This means that, yes, Hulk Hogan - that is, his "voice, likeness, and signature attitud...
Monsu is a bit of a weird one.
It's a free to play card-based platformer. You can also combine a tornado with a llama and ride it.
Before we get too bonkers, let's bring it back to the land of the sensible as I tell you what Monsu is really all about.
Right then, Monsu has you playing as an angry monster who bashes his way through thieving villagers to get his cards back.
Half of the ...
Tiny Troopers: Alliance is a midcore strategy title set in the military shooter's universe. You build a base, fortify it, dig up resources, and then go and invade your neighbours to blow up their stuff.
If you've played Clash of Clans then you'll get the idea straight away. It's a slick looking production, mixing slightly cartoon visuals with well put together menus and lots of neat animati...
Inferno 2 is the latest twin-stick neon shooter from Radiangames, and it's out right now on the App Store.
It's a shard-edged retro tinged blaster that's just as polished as the rest of the dev's output. You fly around boxed-in levels, using lasers and rockets to shoot anything that moves.
There are massive glittering explosions, hordes of brightly coloured foes, and plenty of different ...
Updated on October 2nd, at 12:14: This article previously mentioned that Fireproof didn't share any screenshots for the game, so we had to draw our own.
The studio has since handed over some lovely screen caps, which you can see below. (More are in our gallery, above).
Our amazing artwork can be found here and here. If you curate an art gallery, please get in touch.

Beatbuddy is a musical underwater puzzling adventure from Threaks that features an ace soundtrack and some simple touchscreen controls, and it's out right now on the App Store.
The game is all about rhythm. You play the titular Buddy, floating around in a world where everything is built around the beat.
There are tentacled bass drums, hi-hat crabs, and all other manner of bizarre water-b...
Sneaking about in Calvino Noir can feel like playing cat and mouse. Only the cats have pistols and don't hesitate to shoot if they spot you.
That is, apparently, the risk you take when you're a crook for hire. If your job is to break into buildings, steal important documents, and make off with critical intel, gunfire is a workplace hazard.
And that's the plot of Calvino Noir: a dashing m...
Kickstarter-funded tactical RPG The Banner Saga has finally hit the App Store. The law-suit hit tale of Vikings and Norse mythology is available right now for iPad and iPhone for £6.99 / $9.99.
The game features more than 15 playable characters, and a branching storyline where the decisions you make can have dramatic consequences.
Those consequences extend to the tactical combat as well....
