The sequel to last year's Silver Award-winning RPG reboot Shadowrun Returns is set to hit iOS and Android next week.
It's called Shadowrun Dragonfall, it's been out on the PC for about three months, and features a polished UI, shinier graphics, and a bunch of upgrades that you'd expect from a sequel.
The game should hit iOS and Android simultaneously next Thursday, so there'll be no grum...
Proun+ is an occasionally bewildering mix of Unpossible, a racer, and smashing your face into a work of modern art. It's just hit the App Store as well, and it's pretty darn sharp.
You play a ball that's racing down a pipe. You need to swing around the pipe, dodging the obstacles that are racing towards you. Everything is bright and bold, and there's a pumping jazz-rock soundtrack accompany...
Wars and Battles seems to style itself as some sort of catch-all military simulator. At least that's what the splash screen suggests, where Samurai rub shoulders with some of Uncle Sam's finest.
These far-reaching games have a long and unhappy history. Different periods in the past fought their wars and battles very differently. And while there are some universal principles, any game that fails...
Kick ass cult classic Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath has finally made its way onto iPhone and iPad, and can be yours today for £3.99 / $5.99.
The game's all about hunting down bad guys from wanted posters, and hauling them back into town for a big cash prize. You get more money if you bring them in alive, so you'll have to plan accordingly.
You could run in and beat them to a pulp, or switch...
Offroad Legends 2 doesn't have the bite of a real Trials game. Its levels are short and snappy, its explosions overblown and often hilarious.
But it doesn't click in the way it should. And its frustrating obstacles are just a little too frustrating. They sneak up on you, forcing you to fail through surprise rather than because you got the angle of approach slightly wrong.
It's a shame, becau...
Luc Bernard has changed the name of his free-to-play hand-drawn action-RPG Reaper, which is now called Death Tales. Oh, and it's also a PS Vita and PlayStation TV exclusive now.
It's still the same story of one of Death's reapers turning on its master after being sent to kill their daughter, so don't worry about that.
We first heard of Reaper way back in 2010, when it was expected to be rele...
Every now and then, we like to look off the sides of the Pocket Gamer mothership to see if anyone else appreciates mobile games as much as we do.
Usually, there isn't that much love for our pocket-sized play things to shout or cheer about. Apparently, a lot of people look down on mobile games.
But, as these games get better with every passing year, more people and publications are sharing in...
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has warned that YouTubers need to make it clear when they are paid to make a promotional video.
This came from an investigation by a BBC reporter who looked into a number of prominent UK YouTubers who participated in promotional "Oreo Lick Race" videos.
The problem wasn't that these YouTubers had made these videos but that they had not marked them a...
When the inevitable nuclear /zombie/ killer-space-mice apocalypse arrives, only three things will remain.
Cockroaches, Matthew McConaughey's adamantium-coated teeth, and the 1,235,884,345.5 smartphones loaded with Candy Crush Saga, scattered among the world's ashes. Love it or loathe it, King's saccharine match-three puzzler isn't going away any time soon.
The original Candy Crush Saga wasn'...
The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has ruled that Sony has to refund early Vita owners due to a "misleading" advertising campaign it ran from late 2011 to early 2012.
The wording that the FTC took issue with is claiming in these adverts that the Vita would have "game changing" features.
The adverts claimed that players could use "remote play" to engage in "cross platform" play by starting...
A new Android app called Steam Sales is designed to help you track and filter sales on popular PC game digital distributor Steam.
It's rumoured that the autumn sales on Steam start today. If that's the case, there are going to be a lot of great games going cheap.
It's worth considering downloading Steam Sales for free to help you manage sorting through all the discounts and bargains, then.

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving over here in the gloomy UK, but we can still benefit from the sales that this foreign holiday brings.
Take this for an example: Bossa Studios is holding a half-price Thanksgiving sale on the games it has published on iOS and Android.
Three of the games below would usually cost you £3.99 / $5.99, but you can buy them for £1.99 / $2.99 right now.
The excepti...
Chillingo's Rescue Quest is a match-stuff puzzler that wears its Candy Crush influences on its sleeve. The twist is, this time you're matching gems to clear a path to some trapped fairies.
It's all nicely presented, with lots of shiny colours and glittery glowy power-ups, and the puzzling is smooth and easy in its own way.
There's nothing here that will suddenly convert you to the side o...
First impressions of One More Line are like your device has been propelled into some kind of retro-futurism in space.
Everything's all minimalism, bright colours, and burbling synth riffs. Tap the screen and an electronic voice hisses "One More Line", and you're off.
Seemingly standing by your side, Giorgio Moroder plays his latest instrumental classic, while being remixed live by the Chemic...
Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's new DexNav app is the greatest invention since the Pokeball.
This little radar device makes it a doddle to deal with wild Pokemon. You can search for specific 'Mons, keep track of which critters live on which routes, find out about Pokemon before you battle, and even find new fighters with special stats.
It can be a little tricky to use though, so we t...
Do you have to catch 'em all? If you do, you can move one step closer to that feat by grabbing yourself a Shiny Beldum in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire right now.
It's available in-game via internet distribution, and comes with a Metagrossite Mega Stone so you can evolve it all the way to a Mega Metagross.
There's a bit formation in the video at the top of the page. You'll...
Dynasty of Dungeons from Chinese developer Playcrab is arriving on iOS tomorrow, and looks to offer a free to download experience that appeals to both Western and Eastern audiences.
A turn-based RPG title that combines a 2D interface with 3D visuals, it mixes exciting special effects and individual character movements to create a truly immersive world.
The game allows you a great amount of f...
Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake, the top-down puzzling adventure, has been updated with some new content because it's nearly Christmas. Yay.
There's a new character called Codger the Elf in Powder Peaks who'll set you on an island-spanning quest to collect up a load of lost presents. Finish the quest and you'll get a new costume for Niko.
When we reviewed the pre-holidays version of the ga...
Twisty Planets, the clever Silver Award-winning world-shifting platformer, has finally made its way to the Google Play Store.
The game sees you leading a TV-headed explorer around a series of planets. You need to move them around as you leap to alter the scenery, collect three stars, and make it to the exit without plummeting into space.
At review we called the iOS version "a warm and we...
Silver Award-winning adventure game Valiant Hearts: The Great War is now available on the Google Play Store. It comes in two flavours, and it's definitely worth a look.
The game tells the story of a group of soldiers, and a dog, as they travel through the trenches and battlefields of Europe during World Word I.
It's an affecting, engaging tale about friendship, loss, and tragedy, all set...
