iOS 8 is out today.
The new feature bump - which adds everything from custom keyboards to quick-reply notifications, and from Safari extensions to quick voice messages - should arrive shortly.
What time, exactly? Well we don't know. But, we know that Apple generally pushes out new operating systems at about 10 AM Pacific Time, which is 6 PM British Summer Time.
To get you ready, and so th...
Aldorlea Games has teamed up with RPG Maker creators Enterbrain and Degica to bring its 16-bit JRPG Undefeated to iOS and Android.
We're told that Undefeated will be the first official mobile port of a game made in RPG Maker.
If you weren't aware, RPG Maker was created in Japan back in 1988, and has since been reiterated upon with new versions regularly released.
The program is still used...
Outplay Entertainment's Bronze Award-winning free to play Alien Creeps TD is now available on Android.
This tower defence title came to iOS only a couple of weeks ago, so for once, you haven't had long to wait, Android players.
As you can probably tell from the title, Alien Creeps TD has you defending the Earth from an alien invasion.
You have an arsenal of weapons to place down in defenc...
Twelve a Dozen is a brilliantly put together platformer with a mathematical twist. There are tough jumping sections, and bits where you need to do some quick maths if you want proceed.
And it all fits together surprisingly well. Clever storytelling means the two seemingly disparate halves fit together brilliantly, and much like indie darling Thomas Was Alone, the narrative pushes you on to the ...
Reviews of Apple's new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have been popping up across the internet over the past 24 hours.
It's a lot of information to take in. To help you absorb all of those critical words about Apple's latest hardware, we thought to do a quick roundup for you.
And if you want a super tl;dr version: the hardware upgrades (display, camera, battery life) of the iPhone 6 are excelle...
Canadian design studio Metatecture has taken to Kickstarter with a headset that uses an iPad mini or iPhone 6+ as the display - and brains - of a virtual reality system.
The AirVR works much like the Durovis Dive or Google's Cardboard, by strapping a smartphone or tablet directly to your eyeballs by way of a couple of lenses.
The screen is then split in two to deliver a stereoscopic 3D view,...
Mangobile's Tactics Maiden seems to scratch the same itch that the studio's previous SRPG, Kingturn RPG Plus, did.
We called Kingturn "generic but accessible", and added that it won't make you care for your characters, but it might "scratch your SRPG itch".
Yep, the more I find out about Tactics Maiden, the more I'm convinced it will also fit that summary.
Mangobile calls it a fast-paced ...
Robot Rundown has big pixels, rogue robots, and nasty corporations. Yes, it's an action sci-fi game, how'd you guess?
You're SOL-BOT, an under appreciated medical robot. The spaceship and the crew you belong to are shot down. For some reason, the corporation UCGA is after your heart.
Why a robot even has a heart, I don't know.
Anyway, as you're now the target of the highly-armed UCGA, yo...
Huerons is a clever looking dot-based puzzler that's just hit the App Store in New Zealand. That means it should be out in the UK at midnight tonight.
The game is all about connections. Each level places a number of coloured blobs on a gird. It's up to you to connect them all together.
Of course it's not as simple as that sounds. There are a variety of other obstacles and challenges stan...
Silver Award-winning tower defence classic Fieldrunners 2 is free right now on the App Store. So if you've yet to grab the impressive mobile strategy title, now's your perfect chance.
The game is all about keeping waves of bad guys away from your base. But it's a little more free-form than your average tower defence title, giving you more leeway to create your own routes and cul-de-sacs wit...
Down Among the Dead Men is a piratical gamebook from Inkle that's just popped up on the New Zealand App Store. That means it should be out in the UK from midnight tonight.
It's a more traditional gamebook adaptation than the developer's last outing, the Gold Award-winning 80 Days, but it still adds some swashbuckling finery to proceedings. You might be reading a book, but your screen is ado...
Joinz is an intriguing puzzler that mixes together elements from other classic games to create something pretty interesting.
It's out right now on the App Store if you fancy giving it a go.
It's been put together by Noodlecake Games, and sees you sliding blocks around a grid.
You need to squish these blocks together to make tetrominoe-style shapes.
As you play the game throws new colou...
Goat Simulator is out on iOS. It lets you accurately simulate the life of a goat.
At one point while I was playing I was dressed up as Spider-Man and flying around on a firework. Then it exploded and I head-butted goathenge.
Yes, Goat Simulator mines a rich seam of stupidity, and it does it surprisingly well. The controls are a bit flobby, but they're meant to be.
This is a game that feat...
Have you been playing Bungie's definitely not an MMO but obviously an MMO sci-fi shooter Destiny?
Then you may be interested to know that there's a companion app - available on the App Store and Google Play - that lets you see your stats and other info on your smartphone.
Our pals across the pond at 148Apps have put together a quick guide that explains how to set the app, and use all its...
Dragon Quest I is old. It's a curio, a glimpse back into the dim and distant beginnings of the JRPG. You can tell it's old because characters say things like 'verily' and 'lieth' and you'd quite like them to stop.
All the bits and pieces are here. Swords, magic, Slimes, a huge map to explore, and a world to save from some dragon-y evil.
But it all feels a little bit clunky. The genre has bee...
The action-packed retro run-and-gun Gunslugs (deep breath) is getting a sequel, as anyone who's been following its Touch Arcade thread would know.
Recently, developer OrangePixel posted a teaser trailer for the upcoming sequel, Gunslugs 2, noting that the game is about 80% done.
A conclusive release date has not yet been announced.
The original Gunslugs scored a Silver Award from us b...
Kapsula has a lot of jagged edges. Sometimes they're welcome and endearing. Other times, like when it drops you into the middle of a twisting section of track and you can barely see in front of you, they can be incredibly frustrating.
The game has something of an identity crisis too. It's not quite fast enough to slot into the twitch genre, but it's a little too fast to be a puzzler. It's not q...
Tequila Games has told us that its collectible card game Earthcore: Shattered Elements will be coming to iOS in early 2015.
You may remember Earthcore as the game we went hands-on with at Gamescom last month.
It's most interesting feature is probably the "Card Crafting" system, which lets you fuse cards together to create new ones. There are over 500,000 possibilities, apparently.
In shor...
Frantic mobile JRPG developer Kemco is holding a special sale on four of its games for a limited time.
The sale started on September 12th, which means the sale is probably going to last until September 19th - a week-long sale seems likely.
That means you've only got a few days to grab these bargains, then.
All of the games are 80 percent off at 69p / 99c. Links to our previous write-ups o...
Bandai Namco has soft-launched highly praised console game Pac-Man Championship Edition DX for iOS in New Zealand.
However, the game isn't the exact same one you might have played on Xbox 360 or PS3. You see, it's a free to play game rather than premium.
So, while this sequel to the Gold Award-winning Pac-Man Championship Edition is fundamentally the same as the console game, there are a fe...
