At Nokia's media event in London yesterday, the Finnish firm may not have shown off the long-rumoured 41-megapixel Lumia EOS, but there's nonetheless something interesting about the handset that was unveiled, the Nokia Lumia 925.
On the outside, it looks, well, very un-Lumia like.
For fans of the range, that might be something of a worry. It appears Nokia has decided to put its own signature...
So, it's finally official. Nokia took to the stage here in London to unveil its new Windows Phone flagship device.
Yes, I'm talking about the Nokia Lumia 925.
After the multiple rumours, leaked photos, the already-announced US-only variant of the Lumia 925 (a.k.a. the Lumia 928), and early confirmation from one UK network that the Lumia 925 was imminent, we bet none of you can believe your e...
If - like I - you're a massive fan of DC Comics and, more specifically, Superman, you should definitely download Nokia's official (and exclusive) Man of Steel app on your Windows Phone 8-powered Lumia.
The Man of Steel app (which is based on Zack Snyder's upcoming blockbuster of the same name, natch) features character biographies and tasty behind-the-scenes info, as well as a timer that counts...

As you probably already know, the football season in this part of the world is - slowly but surely - drawing to a close for another year. In fact, most Premiership teams have just two games left to play.
If - like I - you need a regular football fix during the off-season, then, you have two choices.
You can either head over to your local 5-a-side footy centre and compete against similarly 'l...

Back in December 2010, mobile and online games company Miniclip released a gravity-flipping endless-runner called Gravity Guy on the App Store.
If you enjoyed Gravity Guy, you'll be pleased to read that its sequel, the aptly named Gravity Guy 2, will defy the laws of physics and blast onto the iPhone and iPad sometime next week.
In this sequel, you take on the role of the unnamed protagonist...
According to research carried out by Microsoft, the UK spends £30.9 million on unauthorised apps and in-app purchases every month.
£30.9 million?! Yep, really.
After asking 2,000 UK-based parents with a tablet or smartphone about unauthorised IAPs, The Big M discovered that 28 percent of them have kids who have spent money on IAPs without permission.
83 percent of those (560) parents had ...
One week from now, Nokia will roll into London town to globally launch at least one big Lumia smartphone.
This will almost certainly be the Lumia 925, the global version of the 928 (a handset that is already being advertised in the US ahead of its exclusive launch on Verizon).
In comparison to the Nokia Lumia 920, a.k.a. our favourite Windows Phone, the so-called Lumia 925 will be a svelte l...
In 2012, Zynga spent a lot of money on New York developer OMGPOP. To be more specific, the social giant paid $180 million cash as well as offering a $30 million earn-out.
The acquisition was about Draw Something, though, which was reportedly grossing $250,000 a day from an audience of 15 million daily active users at the time.
But Zynga bought a fad. Hindsight may be 20:20, but looking back ...
In the latest instalment in Team Talks - our series of round-table discussions held over Skype - we had a debate earlier today in the PG office on freemium gaming. A heated debate.
So heated, in fact, that we have to air it out in public for fear of Skype meltdown. No topic was off-limits, and the words you're about to read are largely unedited.
Today's hot topics...
- Why bother writin...
Fact #1: EE is the UK's only 4G network (for now).
Fact #2: EE has just added a bunch of new towns and cities to its collection of 4G-enabled areas.
If you want to download the latest 1GB mobile game on the move, 4G is, as our EE network test last year demonstrated, definitely the best option.
Unless you were living in or around a rather big UK city, such as London, Birmingham, or Manches...
10tons's irreverent physics-puzzler Tennis in the Face has already done well on iPhone and iPad, lifting a coveted Pocket Gamer Bronze Award.
Now, it's going for the Grand Slam as it gets served up for Android and Windows Phone 8.
Tennis in the Face sees hero Pete Pagassi smack his balls around the screen in a bid to kill all who stand in his way, with ragdoll physics bringing a touch of sla...

Exciting news, folks: you can now gain access to Nintendo's glorious Miiverse social network via the web browser on your favourite smartphone or tablet.
This web-based version of Miiverse is currently in beta mode, so - naturally - it's lacking some of the features that are present in its Wii U counterpart.
While it's possible to comment and leave a Like-style 'Yeah!' on existing posts, you ...

Iron Helmet Games has just released the sequel to its browser-based space strategy sim Neptune's Pride.
While such an announcement wouldn't normally warrant a post on Pocket Gamer's mobile-centric pages, Neptune's Pride II: Triton has been built in HTML5, making it playable on smartphone and tablet browsers.
Your objective in Neptune's Pride II: Triton is extremely simple: you must attempt t...
Nearly three years after initial ruling was passed, the courts have released a legal document confirming that all Edge-related trademarks pertaining to the EA vs. Edge Games case have been cancelled.
The long-running dispute centred around trademark "troll" and Edge Games owner Tim Langdell, and his insistence on threatening to sue any games developer, games publisher, or magazine publication w...
So, The Masters golf tournament is over and done with for another year, and plucky Australian Adam Scott walked home with the victory. (And a much more enticing bank balance, no doubt.)
But what if you weren't ready for it to be over? What if you need more golfing action in your life? What if the sudden switch from full-on golf to no golf is killing you inside?
Help is at hand. There are som...
