I like to think that Robin Hood would have lived in a treehouse network as grandiose as the one I've built in Little Raiders.
Mind you, I think my Robin is on a different moral compass to the forest archer of legend. Far too concerned with upgrading his house and spending ransacked pieces of silver to treat his merry men.
My Robin has a splendid pad for himself atop a magical tree. Each acor...
Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can. So long as you pay enough to unlock the spider abilities, otherwise you're just going to be playing Man. And you do that every day and you're rubbish at it.
Sorry, I got side-tracked. Spider-Man Unlimited, Gameloft's free to play narrative based auto-runner has just landed on the New Zealand App Store. That means it'll be out tonight at mi...
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 the UK at midnight tonight.
The game is a polished up version of one of the original 8bit RPGs. It features dragons, it features castles, and it's more than 20 years old.
As with Dragon Quest IV and Dragon Quest VIII before it, the game has been optimised for...
SimCity Buildit has just been revealed for iOS and Android. I say revealed, but I pretty much just told you everything we know about it in ten words.
According to our pals at Pocket Gamer France, it's a free to play game, and apparently it's set to enter soft launch sometime next week.
The last SimCity game was SimCity for PC and Mac, and it didn't go down terribly well. And EA's last at...
Apple announced the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus at a nerd-studded event in California last night. There was singing, there was dancing, and for some reason there was a Chinese translation over the live stream.
Amidst all the rampant excitement you might have missed something. But that's okay, we're here to help. Here's a list of everything you need to know about the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plu...
When I was younger I used to love artillery games. You know the kind I mean - two players taking turns trying to figure out the angle and power they need to use to launch something explosive at their opponent.
Once upon a time this involved giant gorillas chucking exploding bananas (no, really, look it up), but now the most popular example is the Worms series.
Dawn Tanks is pretty much the s...
The mobile remake of the classic fantasy RPG, Baldur’s Gate, has been updated to version 1.3.
With the update comes added support for the iPhone, along with small yet significant changes like font size customization and bug fixes.
While our review of Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition from late 2012 spoke poorly of the port, diehard fans who’d rather not be inconvenienced with an iPad can now, ...
Vainglory, the tap-intensive free to play MOBA by Super Evil Megacorp, is headed to the App Store in October, as announced during today’s Apple event.
There’s also a new trailer out, focusing in on the game’s intuitive controls - "perfected for touch" - and intense 3 vs 3 matches that you can play with people all over the world.
Watch it below.
We wrote about Vainglory back in June wh...

Apple has announced not one, but two smartphones at its keynote today: the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus.
The iPhone 6 has a 4.7 inch display, making it larger than the iPhone 5. It has a resolution of 1334 by 750, with 326 pixels per inch.
And it's slimmer than the current fleet of iPhone, at 6.9 mm to the 7.6 mm iPhone 5S.
The iPhone 6S Plus, on the other hand, has a 5.5 inch displ...
AiAi's friends have been captured (there's a shocker), and now he has to rescue them all one-by-one. Only this time, he won't be working his way through precarious mazes in a giant hamster ball.
No, this time he'll be bouncing all over the place like everyone's favorite game from The Price is Right. He's still in the giant hamster ball, though.

Terra Battle has been soft-launched in Canada by developer Mistwalker, which is led by Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi.
It's a free to play social RPG that is based on the boardgame Shogi, otherwise known as Japanese chess or the "Generals' Game".
It's all about moving your randomly picked party around on a grid in such a formation that you can take down your opponents' pieces.

Oink Games has released its free to play match-3 puzzler MUJO on iOS today. Why should you care? Read my preview.
Oh, you're still here. I'll tell you what it's all about quickly, then.
MUJO is set among Greek mythology and has you matching tiles to slay monsters and soldiers. You can also use the power of the Greek gods to help you out.
The idea is to match as many sword tiles as you pos...
Osao Games's puzzle platformer Chronology will be leaping from PC to iOS at midnight.
The game reviewed quite positively on PC but was marked down by some for its short length, is seems.
It should be ideal for iOS then, perhaps - where short play sessions rule.
It's a charming-looking game inspired by Studio Ghibli animations. As such, it'll have you helping an Old Inventor and The Snail ...
At 6 PM tonight, Apple will hold a "special event" at the Flint Center in Cupertino, California.
Rumours and industry speculation suggest that Tim Cook and co will announce the new iPhone (or, perhaps, iPhones), and show off its first stab at wearable technology.
Maybe that's a smartwatch. Maybe it's a virtual reality headset. Maybe it's a talking glove with the voice of Kevin Spacey. We...
SNK Playmore's Bronze Award-winning The Rhythm of Fighters no longer costs 69p / 99c as it's now a free to play game (it always had IAPs anyway).
Don't worry, if you own the paid version you should get a little something as thanks.
SNK Playmore is distributing five NEOGEO original songs to all phones and tablets with save data of the paid version.
There is also a little note from the deve...
Goblin Sword is exactly what you want from a retro game-inspired action platformer. It has the pixel art and simplicity, but none of the janky controls.
It starts without taking a breath: an evil wizard is conjuring up monsters so you're told to kill them and then him. You can push the story aside from then on.
It's all jumping over pits, discovering secrets behind false walls, and slaying b...
The first thing you learn about Space Age, the long awaited follow-up to The Incident from Big Bucket Software, is that "the year is 1976".
The second thing you find out: "it is the future".
This is retro-futuristic adventure, inspired by evocative sci-fi from the 1950s, like Forbidden Planet, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and The Twilight Zone.
It's all shiny metal space rockets wit...
HeroCraft has announced that it's bringing pirate-themed free to play RPG Tempest to iOS "soon".
It'll have you diving into the life of a nasty pirate: stealing from merchant ships, battling warships, and attacking sea forts.
This is no strictly historical action, though. Oh yes, Tempest has giant tentacled sea creatures and menacing-looking whales that will attack ships.
HeroCraft tells ...
The Infinity Blade trilogy might be over and done with, but according to Chair's creative director Donald Mustard, it's not over and done with over and done with.
Speaking to our sister site pocketgamer.biz, he said that the Kingdom Come update is "the conclusion. The concluding conclusion. We're wrapping things up for now. But there's more we intend to do in the future. It's not done..."
