Ever had a dream that you were being chased by monsters? If you have, you may find that The Maze Runner brings you out in a cold sweat.
Oh, by the way, don't confuse this The Maze Runner with the movie and spin-off game The Maze Runner (on iOS [download] and Android [download]). This is something entirely separate.
This one is a 2D puzzle game escaping monsters in a grid-based maze. You have...
Do you feel that disturbance in the air? Does it feel like...evil? Yes, it seems that Words for Evil has been released for iOS.
As I noted back in July, Words for Evil is Dylan Loney's first solo project, and a dandy-looking one, too.
It's a fast-paced word game mixed up with a fantasy RPG featuring wizards, warriors nouns, and verbal assaults.
I do this all the time, but I must compare...
Crimsonland HD is coming to iOS in the near future, it would seem, considering that 10tons has soft-launched it on the Canadian App Store.
As the title purports, Crimsonland is all about turning the floor a dark shade of red. Yes, it's a top-down shooter with lite RPG elements and lots of gore.
It's considered by some to be a PC classic, so much so, in fact, that is creators decided to recen...
Gold Award-winning space exploration simulator Out There is on sale on the App Store and the Google Play Store at the moment, meaning you can pick up the sombre deep space adventure for half price.
The game sees you playing a stranded astronaut. You fly from planet to planet, sucking up oxygen and minerals to try and stay alive. You'll encounter new species, steal ships from long dead civil...
Okay, a bit of background first, eh?
Robot Rundown is the first official game tie-in to the scathingly hilarious comedy sci-fi web series Transolar Galactica. Back in 2012, it completed a Kickstarter campaign to create a second series of the show that mercilessly pokes fun at the likes of Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and Firefly.
We can only hope that Robot Rundown heralds the imminent c...
Have you ever wanted to create your own interactive fiction? Well now you can with inklewriter.
It's a surprisingly powerful, free to use piece of web-based software from the dev behind 80 Days and Down Among the Dead Men.
The program, which you can have a look at here, lets you string together pieces of story to create a branching narrative. When you're done you can share what you've create...

Updated on September 20th, at 9:47: We've just added bundles for the Chaos Rings, Where's My Water, and Autumn Dynasty franchises, and games from Kemco, Ubisoft, EA, and inkle.

GamerGate, iOS 8 install sizes, and Notch leaving Mojang: this week's Week That Was is like a pick 'n' mix shop for gaming controversies. So, just what was all the fuss about?
Following Microsoft's purchase of Mojang and Minecraft, indie idol Notch decided to leave the firm to protect his sanity, and step out of the spotlight.
It was a move that led some to believe the Minecraft creator had ...
Friday was the second press day on the show floor, the last day of relative calmness before the storm of over 100,000 weekend punters per day, each hoping to play their favourite upcoming titles.
As you may have seen, we've put up our hands-on video and article for the New 3DS XL as Capcom are running their first Monster Hunter 4G demo on the unit.
Speaking of Monster Hunter, the...
Minority Media, the studio behind the heart-wrenching Papo Yo, has some new updates on its upcoming game Silent Enemy. For one, the title has been changed Spirits of Spring.
Despite the name change, it's still the same game, set on tackling the cruel dynamic and consequences of bullying. Spirits of Spring is set to release on iOS this October.
Spirits of Spring is a puzzle adventure ga...
NFL Kicker 15 is one of those sports games that isn't really a sports game. It's got the theme, for sure, but it's much more akin to a casual physics flicker than anything like Madden.
That's not a bad thing. While it lacks the depth of a full-blown American football game, it manages to make the core mechanic of kicking accuracy quite fun.
What is a problem is that it feels like a free to pl...
Radiangames reckons that Inferno 2 - the sequel to the Bronze Award-winning Inferno+ - will arrive for iOS on October 2nd.
That's a prediction and a hope rather than a confirmed date, mind.
As with Inferno+, this sequel is a neon-heavy twin-stick shooter that takes place in maze-like levels. It has 80 levels that'll have you dodging bullets and bouncing them around corners.

Goat Simulator
By Coffee Stain Studios - buy on iPhone and iPad (£2.99 / $4.99)
Goat Simulator's best days were behind it before it even came out. This bizarre open world experiment started life as a game jam prototype, but it proved so popular in this form that developer Coffee Stain Stu...
If you've updated to iOS 8 you're now able to run WebGL in Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
Yeah, so what? Well, WebGL allows for 3D and 2D graphics to run inside your browser. That is, without any plugins at all. It didn't run on previous Safari versions.
Touch Arcade has found a way to show off what this means for gaming on iOS.
If you visit WebGL developer Brandon Jones's website you'll...

Scottish studio Kobojo has announced Zodiac today, which is a very pretty 2D persistent online RPG for mobile and Vita. I got quite excited that you can ride what seems to be a griffin.
Zodiac's story and setting seems to be quite typical fantasy RPG stuff. You pursue an ancient prophecy and try to uncover your destiny by unlocking the power of the 12 zodiac signs.
It also has turn-based str...
There's lots to like about iOS 8. If you're a power user, you'll dig extensions. If you're a fitness freak, you'll enjoy HealthKit. And if you just migrated from Android, you'll like custom keyboards.
But for gamers the big deal is Metal: a new software framework that can get even more power out of the A7 or A8 chip in your device to deliver even better graphics and frame rates.
So what ...
I imagine it's difficult to resist the urge to draw comparisons between Race Team Manager and a certain other rather popular racing management sim that's come out recently.
But aside from the racing and the managing they're actually quite different.
Where Motorsport Manager is all about the strategy of managing a team of drivers and mechanics, Race Team Manager is a bit lighter, and it's bas...
Double Fine has dropped the price of its Bronze Award-winning adventure game Broken Age.
Yup, it's just £2.99 / $4.99 right now, down from its previous price of £6.99 / $9.99.
It's only Act 1 of the game, mind, as that's all that's been released so far. Act 2 of the game will be available as an IAP whenever it's ready.
Broken Age is, mostly, the kind of game Double Fine is known for. It's...
