You know when you are really busy when you have a brand new PS4 sitting in the living room with both Killzone: Shadow Fall and Shadow of Mordor installed. Yup, I got a game console for my birthday, thanks to my awesome wife but due to family, work and running commitments, Ive yet to find []
If you have not checked out One Thumb Mobiles 3D MMORPG Celtic Heroes for Android and iOS devices, perhaps now would be an excellent time to do so. The developers are celebrating Halloween by releasing a tonne of new content, for FREE! For those who are uninitiated, Celtic Heroes is a free-to-play,...
Back in 2001, the folks at Nival Interactive released their turn-based strategy title Etherlords for the PC. I remember it being hailed as a 21st-century spiritual update to the venerable Heroes of Might Magic (HOMM) series. I didnt really got the chance to check out the game at that time...
I had the opportunity to check out the latest Daniel Tiger educational title, Daniel Tigers Grr-ific Feelings published by PBS Kids for the Apple iPad. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Daniel Tiger, hes the star of the animated PBS show, Daniel Tigers Neighbourhood, produced by...
What am I doing now? Downloading Super Smash Bros for the 3DS. But before that, check out the team-based tank action game Tanktastic from the folks at G.H.O.R Corporation for both Android and iOS devices. Featuring realistic 3D graphics, fast-paced real-time combat and destructible environments,...
The folks at French indie-developer Moving Player are on to something with their new Match-3 title for the Nintendo 3DS, Wizdom. In Wizdom, Moving Player is offering a unique gaming experience combining for the first time the principles of match-3 games (match 3 or more identical elements) with time...
Remember when we first posted about Schein, the game from Zeppelin Studio that captured first place in Microsofts Imagine Cup 2013 Games Competition (click here to check out that post)? That game is about to be released on Steam on the 10th of October 2014 (which also happens to be my birthday!)...
Remember those underwater levels in the Super Mario Bros games? Those were some pretty tough but fun challenges. If you are out looking for a similar experience, you are in luck as UK-based indie developers App Wave Studios has just recently released Tiny Diver on the App Store several weeks ago. The game...
Indie developer 232 Studios came up with something interesting that Ive been checking out lately, a one-touch platform puzzler for iOS devices titled Epic Eric. Imagine having a knight in a full suit of armor swinging, bouncing, jumping and sliding around trying to get to his lady love. Yup, falling...
If you are a fan of strategy games on either iOS or Android, youve got to check out Battle for the Galaxy, a brand new title from New Zealand and Scotland-based developers Ninja Kiwi. The game is an exciting mixture of base building, resource management and strategic combat, offering players...
I loved the movie Real Steel, the one staring Hugh Jackman; It had a lot of heart and plenty of robot fisticuffs. So Im pleased to receive news that the iOS game of the same name, which is a tie-in to the movie, has continuously been a smash hit on the App Store with millions []
I always find it interesting to see AAA-game developers/designers step out onto the indie-gaming scene to come up with their own games. Smartphones are the ideal platform to test out new ideas and the amount of time and effort (as well as money) required to pivot from one game to another is...
Badass Trial Race Free Ride is one of the cooler Excitebike-inspired games available on the App Store today, and this is a combination of two primary factors. Graphics and Gameplay. The game looks absolutely amazing. It has little nods to its 8-bit ancestor, with the somewhat pixelated rider and bike, but...
Queue the Star Wars Imperial March theme. I received word this morning that *gasp* The Empire is holding strong in the Galactic Civil War against Rebel Forces in Star Wars: Commander. Five (FIVE!) million players globally are now engaged in the epic battle, with Imperial forces gaining ground...
Remember how Sonic the Hedgehog used to captivate the living room with his speed? He was so much faster than that portly plumber from Nintendo and the blue blur turned out to be a bonafide hit. The indie developer duo Spotcos aims to bring this very real need for speed back to life with Speedy []

Developed by Invictus Games, this original title sets players on a grand quest to...
Helftones latest iOS game Pentumble is such a charmer. First off the bat, this puzzle platformer looks graphically amazing, with the textures reminding me (strangely) of games like Team Fortress 2. I guess we have the art direction to thank for that. Secondly, the gameplay is really smooth, I played...
While Im waiting for Diablo III to be updated to version 2.1.0, lets talk about another favourite game of mine which has just received an important update as well. Ridge Racer Slipstream was released earlier this year to great fanfare and I for one was really impressed with the games...
Have you heard of the Madden Curse? Apparently NFL players featured on the cover of the Madden NFL games would experience a decline in real-life performances, often due to injury. Im not too sure whether the same applies to the FIFA soccer games on console and PC, but the last guy on the covers...
