No, it's not the instructions to a particularly basic dance. Nor is it a jaunty military march.

Anomaly 2, the Silver Award-winning strategy game from 11 Bit Studios, is now £1.99 / $2.99, down from £10.49 / ...
Gameloft pushed out the first update for its free to play racing game Asphalt Overdrive today.
The update adds two new cars, the The Renault Alpine and the Lykan Hypersport.
You'll also be able to freely race around in the game's new Joyride mode.
Our review of Asphalt Overdrive gave it a mediocre score, but called it "bold and bright enough" to enjoy.
Asphalt Overdrive is available on...
Flyhunter Origins, the Pixar artist-animated platformer on iOS and Android, is out on PS Vita today in the US and December 10th in Europe.
The game costs £4.99 / $6.99 on the PlayStation Store.
Its price is the same on Steam for its PC and Mac versions, which will also go live on the 10th.
In Flyhunter Origins, you take on the role of Zak, a janitor on an alien spaceship in charge of clea...
Few things unsettle me more than the prospect of a game that seeks to make numeracy fun, but Zealtopia Interactive might just have found a winning formula in Noda.
Perhaps it's the game's steadfast dedication to single-digit figures. Perhaps it's the clean visual style, echoing just about everything that's hip in mainstream graphic design these days.
Or maybe it's the sheer beauty of a simpl...
Surreal adventure-puzzler Yellow House came out on iOS back in October, but it's certainly worth bringing some attention to.
On one hand, its plot is as generic as it gets: man neglects his health, becomes a jobless alcoholic layabout, and loses his memory.
Push that aside, though, and you're treated to some wonderful, twisted art work to interact with.
Each stage is a single screen flash...
The Brothers in Arms series is known for its historical accuracy. It features real-world soldiers, painstakingly recreated locations, and the exact weapons used in World War II.
In Brothers in Arms 3 for iOS and Android, you can shoot a machine gun that's powered by lightning and spills bullets like a wood chipper spitting out tree bark.
Okay, so Gameloft might be taking some license wit...
Bronze Award-winning platformer Leo's Fortune is currently on a 40 percent off sale on iOS.
You can purchase it for £1.99 / $2.99 right now instead of its full price of £2.99 / $4.99. Not a bad deal.
It's all part of the celebrations that the team behind it is having after yesterday.
If you didn't catch it, Leo's Fortune was picked by Apple as the runner-up to the best iPhone game of 2014...
Originally a PS Mobile title, Rock Boshers DX is getting a Director's Cut for PS Vita in the US today (Europe tomorrow).
It comes with a widescreen format, HD rendering, and no colour clash this time around. It's also a cross-buy and cross-save title with the PS4.
As with the original game, you play a young Queen Victoria as she fights across Mars to get back to Earth.
This translates to ...
Fist of Jesus is a very silly and relentlessly gory short film that casts a certain historical figure as a zombie slayer, taking on hordes of the undead with fishy weapons and beardy grace.
Think Life of Brian reimagined by a Spanish film-maker with a penchant for the absurd ("Oh my God! Roman zombies! [beat] Cowboy zombies!") and you're half-way there.
Given Apple's tendency towards banning...
Cosmic Cow Games, the team that made Cubic Castles, hasn't tried to cover up the inspirations behind its game.
It's a "lighthearted MMO" that combines the world-building of Minecraft with the playful platforming of Nintendo classics.
At least, that's what we're told, and that seems to be the case upon closer inspection.
As an oblong-headed creature, you wander around a world, pulling up ...
Storm Rush is a simple, fast-paced twitch racer that hit the App Store earlier in the week. It's all neon lights and thin strips of track and it's pretty darn good.
It's not the most original game in the genre, but the simple two touch controls and simple restarts mean there's something painfully compulsive about it.
You dart around in first person, tapping left to move left and right to...
In the run up to Christmas, Pocket Gamer has teamed up with the developers behind some of this year's best games to give you ten award-winning iOS games for free. Come back every day for the next two weeks to get your games.
The second game in our ten days of freebies is Douglas Crowley's majestically minimalist Gold Award-winning roguelike Hoplite. Download it for free on iPhone and iPad here....
If you're super sad about Sons of Anarchy coming to an end tonight, fret ye not, because there's a mobile game based on the gritty, violent motorcycle series coming out next year. Okay, maybe fret a bit.
We don't have many details about the game just yet. We know that it's called Sons of Anarchy: The Prospect, it'll be episodic, and that it'll focus on a new Californian chapter of the club....
Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath is out now on the Google Play Store. I don’t think it’s a very good port, with sloppy touch controls that make everything far too fiddly. You might disagree. That’s fine, we can still be friends.
The game is a mobile version of the classic action adventure game that first came out on the original Xbox. You play a bounty hunter who stomps around an open-ish world, ...
Yesterday, after a wash of release rumours flooded the internet, Samsung put its long-awaited virtual reality system the Gear VR officially on sale in the US.
Today we find out just what you'll be able to do with the VR face case if you're an eager early adopter, as the launch lineup of games, apps and 'experiences' is revealed.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf - the seventeen millionth iOS game with the Warhammer license - is a clever mix of turn-based tactics and collectable card battling.
The fights take place on a grid, and play out like a mission in XCOM. But your potential moves and abilities are dictated by the cards in your hand. So building a good deck is as important as building a good squad.
Juggling the two ...
Shadowrun Dragonfall doesn’t pull any punches. From the word 'go' it tosses you into a world of quick deaths, big shotguns, and difficult situations.
Even on the easiest difficulty setting you need to have your wits about you. Within ten minutes of starting the game you’re already in a firefight, already outnumbered, and already juggling keeping your team alive and dealing out damage.
That s...
One tap could mean the difference between self-defense and homicide in Dead Run, an infinite runner by Twoplus Games.
You can buy it on iOS for 69p / 99c, or demo it for free in a web browser.
Dead Run does the running for you.
All you need to do is tap to take out the enemies in your path, while staying mindful of who is and isn't a zombie.
You do this with either a baseball bat or a ...
Card collecting, turn-based battles, a cute art style, and oodles of IAPs.
All Elune Saga needs to complete its '2014 mobile gaming tropes' collection are the 'endless runner' and 'roguelike' badges.
But can Gamevil's canny amalgamation add up to more than the sum of its parts?
Wait your turn
