Did you know everyone in the UK is rubbish at maths? I know that I'm rubbish at maths, and I don't really speak to anyone else, so I'm happy to just roll with it.
That's where cZeus wants to come in. It's a slightly more complicated game of sudoku that sees you adding numbers to a grid. But there's a bunch of sums involved, and a ticking clock, and some questions about mythology for some reason...
World War I gets a lot less attention than World War II in mainstream media, and when it does take centre stage the tone tends to be even more reverent.
Perhaps it's because of the apparent pointlessness and futility of the conflict, or the idea that it marked the end of a more chivalrous age. Or perhaps it's just because Hollywood and video games haven't had so much of a say in influencing our...
Do you like gamebooks? Do you want to buy some gamebooks for less money than you would have paid for them last week?
I've got some good news for you then, because four of Tin Man Games's gamebooks are on sale.
First up there's the Silver Award-winning Judge Dredd: Countdown Sector 106, which will set you back £1.99 / $2.99 [buy]. At review we called it "an entertaining, brilliantly desig...
Square Enix has revealed a new game streaming service for iOS and Android. It's called Dive In and it's set to launch in Japan on October 9th.
The Dive In app is free to download, and then you pay a per-game subscription to stream titles to your device. Final Fantasy VII, for example, costs ¥200 for three days, ¥400 for 10 days, ¥1,000 for one month, and ¥1,429 for one year.
Other games ...
At 6PM BST (10 AM PDT) today, Apple will hold a much-hyped and hotly-anticipated keynote.
The event, hosted by Tim Cook and his bezzie buds like Eddie Cue and Craig Federighi, will be streamed on Apple's site and on Apple TV. And we'll have stories on everything you need to know after the show.
But what should you expect? What will happen during the event, what will Apple show, and what craz...
Glue Knight is a hateful combination of screen presses, cheap looking visuals, and swear words. It's a platformer powered by misery, a retro throwback that drips with angst and death and grinning moronic knights who won't do what they're told.
Quite often it's too hard, and while the retro aesthetic clicks most of the time, there are moments when everything just looks a bit shonky.
It's stil...
The mobile run 'n gun series Random Heroes is getting a third installment.
That's right: Random Heroes 3.
If that wasn't exciting enough, the developers at Ravenous Games revealed two screenshots from their work-in-progress over on the Touch Arcade forums today. You're looking at them!
Random Heroes is an action-packed series of platformers that puts you in control of a variety of...
Foursaken Media's blocky dungeon crawler Phantom Rift will be hitting Google Play and the App Store this Thursday, September 11th.
Phantom Rift is an action RPG inspired by Mega Man Battle Network in both looks and combat style.
Dungeons are composed of floating blocks, which you're free to roam around until a battle begins. That's when the tile-based combat system comes into play.
If you...
Diamond Digger Saga is a quintessential release by the developer behind of some of the most popular video games made by human hands, King.
It's not amazing in any way. It doesn't break any new ground. It's almost completely derivative of the company's previous titles.
But it's also super addictive, very casual-friendly, and extremely well-made.
A familiar tale

Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi's upcoming strategy RPG Terra Battle will have an energy system you can pay to bypass.
It's not a feature we can honestly get excited about, unlike the rest of the game.
We've known that Terra Battle is free to play since finding out about it in July this year. We were hoping its monetisation wouldn't be too icky.
It seems that it might be, thoug...
The most common comment we get here on PocketGamer is some variation on "is it coming to Android?".
However it's phrased, you can almost hear the anguished plea behind each one. While developers shower iOS gamers with lavish premium titles, Android users are often left feeling short-changed.
But why? Android is more popular than iOS as a mobile operating system, so sidelining the former grou...
Lith is a puzzle game coated in mystery and adventure - my favourite kind.
It's the debut game from Cabogie, which is a Canadian studio formed by two brothers. They clearly have an interest in Japanese culture as seen in their logo and some of the screenshots of
Lith.
More specifically, though, Lith seems to evoke the quiet atmosphere of old-school Zelda. It even has a slight Studio Ghibl...
How are you with first dates? If you groaned and retreated to the fetal position just then, consider playing Kitty Powers' Matchmaker.
It's a dating sim that has you working with drag queen Kitty Powers at her Matchmaking Agency. Powers is a pro when it comes to dating and, I dare say, some of her tips might rub off on you.
In the game, your role is set-up dates between the procedurally gene...
Beavl Games tells us that Kapsula is coming to iOS this week.
Not familiar? Not to worry. Kapsula was originally released on Android and in browsers back in July. This iOS version isn't any different than those, essentially.
What that means is it's an infinite racer that takes place in a Soviet space colony. I've never raced through one of those before, as far as I can remember.
It's ...
Wearables are all the rage right now. We've got Google goggles that let you read text messages with your eyes without moving your head, and smartwatches that mean you can find out if you've got an email before you even look at your phone.
These are truly amazing developments, and they mean that gaming is set to change. You might be able to press a button on a watch to make a bird do a jump on y...
Just when you thought the tower defence genre had shot its last bullet into one final wave of baddies, along comes Alien Creeps TD, another crack at a genre now so well-established that one wonders whether there any new ideas left to implement.
This one has an alien theme, as you might have guessed, and involves a big brash human army attempting to drive back the invading threat.

Updated on September 8th, at 10:06: Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake was recently patched and updated, which fixed a few bugs that would stop you from finishing the game.

NimbleBit's Tower games have always done alright by us. We thought the ever-so generous Tiny Tower was worthy of a Bronze Award, and the Force-flavoured Star Wars: Tiny Death Star deserved every little bit of its Silver Award.
Now the company is back with another spin on the blueprint it laid out with the original game back in 2011, this time with a gambling theme.
How does it stack up again...

Mobile gamers: the virtual reality revolution has begun.
This week, Samsung announced a new phone called the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which can slot into a fancy head-mounted gizmo to become an impromptu virtual reality headset.

The role of VR and wearables remains uncertain, with the industry divided on whether such tech is the future of gaming, or simply a fad that will fade into obscurity.
In reality though, it doesn't really matter what we think, because it seems more and more companies just can't wait to jump on the VR bandwagon - which is exactly what Samsung did this week.
