Every Friday, Pocket Gamer offers hands-on impressions of the week's three best new iPhone and iPad games.
Proun+
By Engine Software - buy on iPhone and iPad (£2.49 / $3.99)
A wonderfully bright, modern art-infused twitch racer that sees you darting down a tube, tapping or tilting to avoid onrushing obstacles in a brilliantly balanced, expertly put together dance.
Proun+ offers race...
According to a patent application dug up by a NeoGAF user, Nintendo may well be planning to do some mobile emulating of its own.
The patent, which was filed in the middle of the year, is for "a software emulator for emulating a handheld video game platform such as GAME BOY.RTM., GAME BOY COLOR.RTM. and/or GAME BOY ADVANCE.RTM. on a low-capability target platform (e.g., a seat-back display f...
Playing Tainted Keep, we're suddenly reminded that the action RPG has become a woefully underpopulated gaming genre these days.
It seems like they were everywhere for a while, a few years back, and the RPG river has since run dry.
So we jumped into this game eagerly, and perhaps with expectations a little on the high side. Because it seems the action RPG game hasn't returned in full force af...
Updated on November 28th 2014, at 11:40: We've added a bunch more games to the list, including Superbrothers: Swords and Sworcery EP, Alone, and Kingdom Rush Frontiers.

It's Thanksgiving. So, first off, happy Thanksgiving to all of our US readers. Hope you have a great time and eat and drink...
Square Enix has quietly released a free to play PvP strategy RPG on Android. It's called Heavenstrike Rivals and it's out right now on the Google Play Store.
Although it looks like it's not actually available in the UK. So this is probably just one to have a crack at if you're in the US.
The game features more than 230 fully animated units that you can train, regular events and weekend a...
The first episode of Telltale's Game of Thrones point and click adventure is set to hit the App Store next week, with an Android version on the way sometime in December.
It's called Iron from Ice, and is set during the events of the third and fourth seasons of the TV show. You play one of five members of the Forrester family, who end up embroiled in intrigue and murder at King's Landing.

So, you've picked up either Pokémon Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire - perhaps even both - and you want to optimise your first playthrough. Look no further than these handy tips!
Which starter?
Mudkip is best. Swampert can use the HMs Surf, Strength, and Waterfall, while Blaziken and Sceptile can only learn Cut and Strength. Swampert also learns the insanely overpowered move Earthquake at ...
The Witcher Adventure Game, CD Projekt Red's digital dice-based take on its impressive console RPG, is out right now on iOS and Android.
The game features four different heroes, and sees you setting out across The Witcher's dark fantasy universe to slay monsters, solve mysteries, and take part in political intrigues.
You can play against the AI, or take on real human beings in online and...
Today marks the European release of top-notch remakes Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
In case you weren't aware, there are also some lovely looking special edition 2DS units being shipped out from the the Official Nintendo Store today.
These include digital versions of either Pokémon Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire preinstalled, as well as a bonus game of your choice, and an official...
Proun+ is, at times, beautifully chaotic. It captures the twitchy madness of the likes of Super Hexagon and Unpossible, then parcels it up in the guise of a racer.
The levels you're crashing through aren't random – they're the same each and every time you try and complete them, and that means they're entirely conquerable.
Or at least they should be. But this is a game that prides itself on b...
Updated on November 27th 2014, at 16:25: We've just added Trouserheart, AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! (Force = Mass x Acceleration), Spirits, and Drive on Moscow to this list.

Qubic Studios has released Lucha Amgios on iOS today. It's about flinging Mexican turtles and horrible cacti.
That's right, instead of ninja turtles, these are Mexican hero turtles, I guess.
The cacti have gone haywire and took over the town, so you have to clear them out by flinging a hard shell at them.
Each level is an interior space with smaller rooms inside of it and, usually, multi...
Developer Takuji Fukumoto hasn't really gone through any effort to cover up the inspiration behind TravelShooting JP.
It's quite clearly his own take on SEGA's classic tunnel shooter Space Harrier.
The difference here is that you play a Japanese schoolgirl with a guitar-shaped gun. Why not?
Other than that, you're travelling across a bizarre version of Japan which has been lifted right o...
And the award for most unwieldy iOS game name goes to... Quetzalcoatl!
Of course, if you're up on your Mesoamerican folklore, you'll know very well that Quetzalcoatl was a feathered serpent god.
Now that this has been established, you can forget all about it, because Quetzalcoatl is simply a very accomplished and delightfully fresh abstract puzzler.
On the slide
Vaguely reminiscent of ...
Syder Arcade HD developer Studio Evil has teamed up with nonsense comic book artist Sio to create a barmy-looking action-RPG for iOS and Android.
It's called Super Cane Magic ZERO, which is a title that might give you an idea of the level of magical buffoonery you can expect from the game.
It's about a guy (or a kid?) called Coso who is so naive that he'll believe anything so hard that it be...
Sony has revealed what free games will be available to PS Plus members this December on Vita.
It's not a packed like November was, which had five Vita games going free for PS Plus members, I'm afraid.
In fact, there are only two Vita games in the December PS Plus lineup.
The first one is the Bronze Award-winning old school-style shooter Titan Attacks!. In our review, we called it a "m...
Just over a month after it was released on Android, tactical JRPG Record of Agarest War Zero is available on iOS.
And, as it's Thanksgiving in the US right now, publisher HyperDevbox has put a half-price discount on the game until December 4th.
That means you can purchase it right now for £5.49 / $7.99 rather than the full price of £10.49 / $14.99. That applies to the App Store [buy] and Goo...
Bronze Award-winning two-touch arcade racer Touch Racing 2 is now available on the Google Play Store.
The game riffs on the old Micro Machines format and sees you bezzing around a series of neat, dirty tracks, pushing on the screen to get your racer to follow your finger.
At review we called the iOS version "a solid if unremarkable arcade racer with an interesting control method and some...
It's Thanksgiving. So, first off, happy Thanksgiving to all of our US readers. Hope you have a great time and eat and drink until you're comatose. If that's what you want.
But the holiday also means App Store sales. Rather than just listing all the games you can get for a bit cheaper, we thought we'd curate a list of only the finest, most delectable games that are on sale.
We'll update the l...
There are a lot of game / story hybrids popping up on digital marketplaces these days, and that's not at all objectionable.
Necklace of Skulls from Cubus Games is another hybrid. This mystical Mayan adventure seeks to nestle itself somewhere between the word-heavy Choice of Games books and the dice-driven Fighting Fantasy titles.
It's definitely an enjoyable and intriguing read - the wonderf...
