It's been another week, and another collection of cracking stories from the chaps at Pocket Gamer.
In the last seven days we've had a new Angry Birds game, the final Infinity Blade chapter, a new Apple OS, and a massive console game. We've got reviews, guides, and features on the lot.
Plus, Pokemon, FIFA, Final Fantasy, and more. Check it all out, here:

It didn't take much headline browsing this week to realise that the two biggest stories in the world of mobile and gaming were the releases of iOS 7 and Grand Theft Auto V.
Both are highly polished iterations of a proven formula, both had a considerable amount of buzz around them, and consumers absolutely snatched up both with wanton glee.
But how, exactly, does the release of a huge console...
Peter returns to the podcast booth this week. He joins Keith and I as we share our thoughts on Apple's newly released iOS 7.
Also, I explain why Infinity Blade III's new narrative structure feels a bit weird, and Peter gets all pedantic over exactly how many of the Phoenix Wright games are considered canon.

Welcome to our video walkthroughs for Angry Birds Star Wars II. Watch the pros in action and mimic their movements, and you'll unlock those all-important stars in no time at all.
This first level pack takes place on a space station above Naboo, and in orbit around the planet. It features porky villains like Jango Fett, Darth Sidious, and the Battle Droid.
These vids should help you get three...
Dust off your lightsabers because it's time to go flinging once Angry Birds Star Wars II.
Inspired by the events of Star Wars: Episodes I to III, Angry Birds Star Wars II comes complete with a few new ways to play.
Fancy donning Darth Vader's mask and doing some bad in the world? Well, now you can join the Pork Side and live out your wildest evil (bird-related) fantasies.
You can ...
Angry Birds Star Wars II is filled with collectible items that are scattered about the game's hundred-odd levels and hidden in nooks and crannies around the pigs's hideouts.
In this guide, we will show you how to get them all in the levels that are part of the Pork Side chapter. See the Bird Side collectibles here.
So, here's what you need to do. Load up the level in question and mimic the m...

The idea behind Angry Birds Star Wars II is a simple one. You get to catapult birds at the ramshackle structures of pigs, while reliving the painful memories of the Star Wars prequels.
But, hey, you get to fire Jar Jar Binks into a brick wall as many times as you like. Plus, this is a cracking addition to the Angry Birds universe. There are loads of new power-ups, and levels in space and on the...
It's sort of depressing to say, but the best bits of Angry Birds Star Wars II come courtesy of the bird-ifed lolloping Gungan dolt Jar Jar Binks.
He's one of the few characters with which Rovio has done something different in this sequel, you see. I mean, you can use his grotesquely long tongue to swing around lumps of scenery.
And so when you see Jar Jar on your rack of birds, your heart li...
Transparency is a funny thing. It seems like the natural course for businesses to adopt, as the policy gives the public a clear look at what's going on behind the scenes.
But, on the other hand, the grand effect of the wizard can diminish when you get a clear look at the man behind the curtain.
Maybe there's more value to be had in mystery and leaving some things unsaid...
Certainly, this...
With Peter laid up in bed after contracting Parisian flu, it falls to Keith and I to wade into the "unapologetically plastic" aftermath of Apple's iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C announcements.
We also chat about the imminent arrival of Infinity Blade III, and talk about hot new Ubisoft properties Rayman Fiesta Run and Assassin's Creed: Pirates.
Then, I complain about Where's My Water? 2's awful ene...
Everyone knows that the greatest instrument man has ever created is the cowbell.
Through its dulcet clanks, we are warned of the proximity of bovine foes. The cowbell was also used as a sharp refrain to some of the finest rock songs of the '70s.
Anyway. The developer of Cowbell Hero, the iOS rhythm game in which you can perform the most important role in any band, has turned to Kickstarter f...
A long time ago in a conference room far, far away, two multimedia titans came together on a shared mission for ultimate brand synergy.
We call this merchandise-spawning monster... Angry Birds Star Wars.
Actually, the game itself is pretty good. It mixes up classic Angry Birds with galactic spin-off Angry Birds Space, and contains some of the most enjoyable and chaotic levels in the franchis...
Welcome to our video walkthroughs for Angry Birds Star Wars. Watch the pros in action and mimic their movements, and you'll unlock those all-important stars in no time at all.
This level pack takes place on the forest moon of Endor, which first appeared in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, and is the home of those fuzzy little Ewok critters.
Some of these stages feature tribal drums,...
Angry Birds Star Wars is chock-full of Golden Droids, which open up bonus levels when you find and destroy them.
These can often be easy to find but difficult to actually get at.
So, follow our guide to find out how to get the Golden Droids, and beat their associated secret stages.
Thank us in the morning.
(If you like.)

As everyone knows, anger is the path to the dark side.
Apparently not for birds, though. Anger for birds is the path to lucrative merchandising deals and tie-ins with classic science fiction films.
Rovio has updated Angry Birds Star Wars with a big chunk of new levels as the Finnish firm starts the countdown to the release of Angry Birds Star Wars II. You know, the one about the rubbish preq...
At the end of last week, everyone here at Pocket Gamer's palatial office / pleasure dome hybrid got rather hot under the collar at the prospect of a new Rayman game for iOS.
We heard some rumours, you see, and those rumours were pointing to a sequel to the really quite wonderful Rayman Jungle Run. This sequel is reportedly entitled Rayman Fiesta Run.
Well, now those rumours have solidified i...
We were repeatedly reminded this week that business makes for some strange bedfellows.
As the logical - and perhaps inevitable - conclusion of the Microsoft/Nokia saga concluded with a $7.2 billion deal, rumours surfaced that Beijing-based Lenovo would emerge as the highest bidder on BlackBerry's future.
On the smaller scale, we also heard from a representative sample of indie developers cur...
