Updated on September 11th, at 16:39: Dragon Quest is now available on iPhone and iPad everywhere, and it's also out on Android. You can get this classic NES role player on Google Play for a measily £1.99 / $2.99. Which is pretty incredible for Square Enix.
Chronology be damned, Square Enix has just released Dragon Quest I on the App Store in New Zealand. That means it should be out in t...
Full Fat has released the latest in its NFL Kicker and NFL Quarterback series for iOS and Android.
As always, you'll be slotted into your specific position among an American football team of your choosing. The games play very much the same as they did previously.
In Kicker, you're looking to kick field goals, while levelling up and honing your skills. Eventually, you'll aim to master coffin ...
The Sleeping Prince is one of those games that lets you live out a terrible fantasy.
No, not saving the world, but flinging a prince around with no consequence.
It's normal to be a little bit jealous of royalty, isn't it? It's like you're supposed to, what with them always flashing their lavishness on telly.
Anyway, The Sleeping Prince is a free to play platformer. You swipe to fling the...
Peggle Blast has been officially announced now. It's a ball-and-peg puzzler, as you might expect, but will be free to play rather than premium.
Yep, not only did EA announced SimCity BuildIt after Apple had its show, it also decided to reveal Peggle Blast.
We've actually seen Peggle Blast before, or it seems we have, at least. You may remember that EA removed the original Peggle and started ...
RGB Express is a cute upcoming iOS game about delivering colours across a city with delivery trucks.
It's played in two halves. The first has you drawing the route for each of your trucks. When doing this, you need to ensure they pick up the right colours along the way, and drive past the required buildings.
You also need to look out for switches to lower bridges on occasion. There are bound...
Updated on September 11th at 12:50: EA has been in touch to tell us that the game won't be getting a soft launch as this story originally said.
"As for timing, EA are not planning to soft launching next week as some outlets have reported, but will go into a soft launch period and then a worldwide launch in the next few months."
So there you go.
Original story follows...

The Rovio Stars published sea-faring Clash of Clans-a-like Plunder Pirates is set to hit the App Store on September 18th.
That's the day before International Talk Like A Pirate Day, which apparently isn't a real holiday.
The game sees you building up your pirate empire, adding things buildings to your island and recruiting a crew of salty sea-dogs. Or possibly unsalted sea-dogs if you're...
Space is a cold, dark, and deadly place. Dogs will try and eat you. Insane men with spikes will try and stove your face in because you walked around a corner at the wrong time. And you will die. A lot. But it's okay because you can just flick back a few pages.
Heavy Metal Thunder is a cruel and unforgiving gamebook. It bashes you against the debris of space over and over, and is happy to leave ...
This week saw Apple enter into the world of wearables, with the Apple Watch. This clever gizmo sits on your wrist and tells the time, monitors your fitness, and relays info from your iPhone.
But one thing was curiously absent from the announcement: games.
Sure, maybe an itty bitty screen is unsuitable for playing games on. And only being able to use one hand is going to limit your options. B...
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are touted, by Apple at least, as being great for gamers.
That beefy A8 chip will allow for more powerful games, the bigger screen will let you see more of your surroundings, and the improved energy efficiency will stop your battery draining away after 20 seconds of Bioshock.
But over at AppSpy, editor man James argues that there's a dark side to all this t...
CounterSpy sees you assume the role of a covert agent trying to avert nuclear disaster the only way he knows how - by infiltrating Soviet bases, stealing missile launch plans, and eliminating any witnesses.
CounterSpy on iOS and Android is a slightly cut-down port of its bigger console brother, retaining everything that matters while adding some cool cross-platform connectivity to ensure mobile...
Are you a Luke Skywalker, or a Han Solo?
Do you warm to the ninja pilot with the uncanny skills, or the wise-cracking flyboy who wheels and deals and tinkers their way to victory?
In Gemini Strike, you can be both.

It doesn't look like much, but Gemini Strike smartly combines familiar vertically scrolling shmup action with the endless upgrade path of a modern RPG.

Colorbs by One Minute Games is a match-three title that uses bright, gumball-like game pieces.
But despite the presence of these cheerful spheres, Colorbs is as middle-of-the-road as a mobile game gets. It's certainly not bad, but there's nothing about it that stands out.
It's a decent distraction that doesn't give you any strong feelings one way or the other. If not for the game's bright co...
After being teased with an image of it back in February, the MOGA REBEL controller has now been revealed. It's also ready to pre-order right now for its September 17th release date.
MOGA calls the REBEL a "full-sized, console-style, premium game controller" for iOS. It'll support iOS 7 and up.
It's a Bluetooth-enabled MFi controller that is designed to feel familiar to anyone who is practice...
Shelly Alon gave me a nudge today to let me know that Partyrs is out for iOS.
Now I'm letting you know. How about you keep this going and do something good for someone else today?
I say that as that's what Partyrs is all about, really.
It's a puzzle game set in party locations where you need to ensure everyone is kept happy. This involves shuffling them around until they're in the rig...
Goblin Sword comes out at midnight, which means I get to tell you about it again.
Honestly, all I want to do is retype the words "Goblin Sword" all the way down this page. That seems to be the best way to get across the purity of this troll bludgeoning video game.
I won't, though, as I'm supposed to tell you what it's all about again (read my previous article for more details).

Foursaken Media's (Bug Heroes, Block Fortress) wizard-themed action-RPG Phantom Rift is coming out at midnight.
Yes, we told you about the game just yesterday, but is there any harm in making sure you're up with the times?
To recap, Phantom Rift is inspired by, and actually plays a lot like, Mega Man Battle Network.
As such, battles take place in lane-based grids, so you'll need to do...
Simogo's next game, The Sailor's Dream, could be delayed due to the requirements needed to ship a quality-looking game on the bigger iPhone 6 resolutions.
Simon Flesser of Simogo (Year Walk, DEVICE 6) took to Twitter today to make his worries public.

Hyper Trip is a sharp-edged dodger that's just landed on the New Zealand App Store. That means it'll be making you swear in the UK from midnight tonight.
The game sees you guiding a cube through a maze. Tap the left of the screen to go left, tap the right of the screen to go right. And that's it.
You'll die a lot, as is the style nowadays, and there are leaderboards and Game Center integ...
Fotonica is an auto wire-frame runner with an impressive soundtrack that's just landed on the App Store in New Zealand. That means it should be out in the UK at midnight tonight.
The game sees you pelting down a track, leaping from platform to platform while an energetic electronic soundtrack booms out of your iPad or iPhone.
We've had a couple of hands-on sessions with the game already....
