It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single villain in possession of a good fortune must be in want a wife.
Seriously, why else would baddies keep carting off all the land's available femmes the minute they hit puberty? Because they're lonely, complex antiheroes in need of love of course, and voiceless damsels in distress fulfil that aching need.
Or, you know, it could just be the ...
It has been almost two years since Bart Bonte released sugar, sugar so you may be having some flashbacks to the past right now.
The reason it's getting a mention once again is due to Bonte releasing a free update with 20 new levels for you to solve.
This update is to celebrate the game being downloaded 300,000 times in total across iOS and Android.
As with sugar, sugar's previous levels, ...
The eye is a wonderful thing, refracting and focusing so that we can get an accurate, three-dimensional impression of our surroundings.
Of course, the moment this sophisticated system slips the slightest bit out of alignment, we need constant corrective care. Which, I can tell you, is a bloomin' pain in the backside.
It's an apt thing to talk about in relation to Bulkypix's new puzzler, Opti...
Just as noted futurologist Inspector Gadget predicted, the fate of the computer isn't in your pocket, but on your wrist.
Now, having a device on your arm that can receive text messages, show a map, or relay information about your surroundings has some obvious benefits. But what about for gaming?
To help you get a grip on the new tech, here's your Pocket Gamer explainer guide to all the smart...
It looks like the Android version of Gold Award-winning free to play tank sim World of Tanks Blitz is set to hit the Google Play Store in the next few weeks. It's been a while coming, but we reckon this one might be worth the wait.
Talking exclusively to our sister site AppSpy, Wargaming.net confirmed that the Android version of the game is almost upon us. And on top of that it'll feature c...
I had a tinker with Star Wars: Commander a little while ago - back when the game soft-launched in Australia, in fact.
It wears its Clash of Clans inspirations on its sleeves, and indeed it's tempting to write the game off immediately as just another clone.
But this is a Star Wars game, seemingly with a significant budget behind it, so there's got to be more to Commander than meets the eye, r...
Backflip Studios, the developers behind freemium build-'em-up DragonVale, announced a new Dungeons Dragons-based mobile game this weekend at PAX Prime.
Speaking to Polygon, Backflip CEO Julian Farrior and creative director Ryan Drag explained that this new game will merge several genres, such as "castle defense" and "raiding," and feature heavy customization and PvP elements.
The game, sti...
Nominated for Best Mobile Game at Casual Connect 2014 and the Gamer's Voice Award at SXSW, the former iPad exclusive Doggins is now available on iPhone.
Grab it off the App Store for £2.49 / $3.99.
Doggins tells the tale of a terrier with a big imagination.
Played as a point-and-click, the game takes the player into Doggins's dream realm, with plenty of surreal puzzles to solve and strang...
Epic Eric isn't all that epic really. It does feature a character called Eric though, so at least half of the title is true.
It's a pleasant enough little one-touch platformer that sees you swinging around a fantasy kingdom to rescue your beloved.
There's a slight twist though, because you can swap between Eric and Erica and play as a pink-dress clad princess who rescues a knight from a towe...
Antihero is a fast-paced 4X strategy game with a setting that I've never seen the genre enter before.
Instead of space, a land of high fantasy, or a historical recreation of the Earth (a la Civilization); Antihero takes place in a Dickensian city.
Yep, it's all gas-lit streets, corrupt authority, and Victorian sensibilities.
It's also beautiful, looking a little like Don't Starve, in a wa...
Island Delta has a very pleasant cartoonish look to it. It's this that caught my eye initially but it was the isometric espionage action that held my interest.
It's an upcoming iOS game currently being built by Finnish brothers Sami and Timo Kuronen.
Being sci-fi, Island Delta is primarily cool blues and shiny metallics. You're a master thief sent to infiltrate various well-guarded faciliti...
Unstoppable Gorg has got out of control. Not only is it destroying all aliens and humans, it's turned on its own price tag.
That means this Gold Award-winning tower defence game and satire of B-movie sci-fi is currently free on iOS.
Yep, if you download it now you'll save yourself £2.99 / $4.99. Not bad.
If you're wondering what it's all about, it's simple: aliens are invading so you've g...
If you haven't purchased 868-HACK yet then now would be a good time to.
Yep, as it's a year old, developer Michael Brough has put the Silver Award-winning roguelike on sale until September 6th.
It'll cost you £1.99 / $2.99 rather than the usual £3.99 / $5.99 until midnight this coming Saturday.
It's actually one of my favourite games of last year, and it has gone on to influence oth...
Card Dungeon is an intriguing looking mix of a roguelike, a boardgame, and a card game that's heading to iOS at the start of next month.
It's a turn-based dungeon crawler that gives you three cards at the start of your run. These cards let you attack or move, for example, but you can only use one of them each turn.
As you kill monsters and open chests, you'll find new cards. That means d...
After the enhanced version of Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II, Beamdog has turned its attention to another classic DD RPG, Icewind Dale.
Apparently this new port, which will feature plenty of new tweaks, pokes, and prods, will be hitting the App Store and the Google Play Store later this year.
According to a post on the Baldur's Gate forums, the game will also include content that wa...
Japanese lesson for the week: "wan" and "nyan" are the Japanese animal sound equivalents for "woof" and "meow". No, the title's not quite Citizen Kane, but it begins to give you an idea of the scope we're dealing with here.
In this arcade flick-fighter you have to tap and drag your canine and feline protagonists across the screen, creating your line of attack and displaying where each character...
It looks like we're going to have some more Dragon Quest games to fill up our phones with in the not-too-distant future.
Square Enix has confirmed to Game Informer that there are at least three more games in the works to follow Dragon Quest VIII and Dragon Quest IV.
Surprisingly, considering the chronological curve ball of the release scheme so far, it looks like we'll be getting Dragon ...
Upcoming iOS game Calvino Noir has all the hallmarks of classic film noir. It's got the striking monochrome look, the long shadows, and more fedoras than a Brony convention.
But it's not about solving a grizzly murder or trying to knock-off some femme fatale's hubby. Instead, you're a thief and you're on a heist.
Getting about unseen requires concealment, stealth, and distraction. While ...
Team Meat's Mew-Genics is now on hold, so don't expect the bonkers cat-lady sim to pop up on the App Store any time soon.
Speaking to Joystiq at PAX over the weekend, Tommy Refenes from Team Meat explained that the game has been put on the back boiler until it becomes a little more "coherent".
Refenes stated that the dev has been a little too chatty about features in the game, and that stuff...
Square Enix has released the first teaser trailer for its upcoming JRPG threequel Chaos Rings 3. It's all in Japanese, but don't let that put you off. Have a gander and then we'll meet up again at paragraph two.
The game looks gorgeous, and the floating sticks suggest that the footage in the trailer is taken from the smartphone and tablet version rather than the Vita version, which is nice....
