Telltale Games has released a new trailer for the second episode of The Walking Dead and it seems like they're pretty proud of themselves. While showing some of the dramatic situations the survivors will endure in this ...

Odds are if you have a mobile device, you've heard of Fruit Ninja. It's pretty much perpetually in the top fifty rankings, and it even had an Xbox 360 release. The simple concept of slicing fruit with your fingers has been co...

Despite potentially valid complaints that portable systems just don't get enough games, it remained a nonetheless close-fought battle for best handheld experience of 2012. The libraries may not be as varied and robust as cons...

A few days ago we told you Pudding Monsters, about the newest game from creators of Cut the Rope. Now we have a trailer featuring the first gameplay footage, and its pudding glob "stick-'em-together" gameplay kind of reminds...

I had forgotten Double Fine was getting into iOS development with Middle Manager of Justice. Following a number of great sim games that fit very well with these mobile platforms, this tasks players with managing superheroes i...

Phosphor Games Studio and Zynga have put out a "free" version of Horn, the fairly ambitious action-adventure game for mobile devices. That can be downloaded from the App Store right now, offering the Prologue from the main ca...

All this Grand Theft Auto anniversary talk makes me feel old. It feels like just yesterday I was listening to Michael Jackson, swerving around as Tommy Vercetti, and taking in the sights of Rockstar's faux-Miami setting. I th...

North American and European Pokémon players with iPhones, iPads, or iPods can download Pokédex for iOS on the Apple App Store today. $1.99 gets you the full details on more than 640 Pokémon, including loc...

Final Fantasy IV? Sure, I'll play it again. Bring it on.  Japan gets an iOS remake of the Nintendo DS remake of Final Fantasy IV in about 10 days. The game is coming stateside, but not until later next year, so these new...

Today is the day that Renegade Kid's Mutant Mudds slip-slides onto Apple devices. If you'd like to double dip (or triple dip), it's a paltry $0.99 on the App Store. I've messed around with this latest build to see how it stac...

Rayman Jungle Run is what a mobile adaptation of a console platformer ought to be. Instead of a straight port shoehorned onto Apple and Android devices, it's a standalone title that merely complements the original, with touc...

Remember when Capcom got us all excited for Mega Man's anniversary this year, and then basically took a dump on us with Rockman Xover? Well apparently after reaching the top three listing on iTunes the week of release, The Me...

[Update: New screen featuring the GBA-stlye art direction straight from Edmund McMillen's twitter. This is definitely my new favorite.] I'm still freaking out about The Binding of Isaac coming to consoles. I loved the origina...

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City 10th Anniversary Edition is set to come out on iOS and Android devices on December 6, 2012. It'll be going for $4.99, and will feature several enhancements such as updated character models, lightin...

An Aliens vs. Predator game was announced, and I did not know it. Granted, it's a mobile game, and those things manages to tumble out of the woodwork at a rate too swift to monitor, but even so, my failure brings me incalcula...

Man, there was nothing more nerve-wracking than getting stuck in Shadowgate on the NES and seeing those torches fade one after another. It's one of my most vivid gaming memories, though I got stuck mostly due to the quite con...

We've got a special treat for you today. We wrote about the Bar Oasis 2 soundtrack in Note Worthy 005, and since that time, the team at Corners Studio has put together a special compilation album featuring remastered selectio...

Peter Molyneux's latest flight of fancy -- Curiosity - What's Inside the Cube? -- is now available to download for free on iOS, with an Android version promised soon.  In case you're not caught up with the mad idea, it's...

While many longtime game fans sneer at mobile gaming, I've always tried to keep an open mind about it. Done right, a touch-based game is perfectly valid as a form of interactive entertainment, and while there are plenty of ba...

Remember that Peter Molyneux game that was supposed to "change the world?" You know, Fable? Then Fable 2? Then Fable 3?I kid, I kid. But seriously, Peter "not on rails" Molyneux is now once again promising great things, as hi...

I'll admit to not being the world's biggest Halo fan, so it took me by surprise to find out that Microsoft had changed Halo 4's name since I last saw it at E3, deciding instead to call it Halo 4: King of the Hill Powered by M...

Having spent countless hours messing around in the wonderful multiplayer component of Burnout Paradise, I'm totally sold on what the studio brought to the table with Need for Speed Most Wanted. Some of you, on the other hand ...

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is preparing to enjoy its 10th anniversary, and Rockstar is celebrating by porting the 80s-themed classic to iOS and Android devices. I'm up for that! Although a date is yet to be revealed, it seem...

I had a chance to check out Square Enix's casual iOS (and soon Android) RPG Wizardlings at New York Comic-Con a week or so back. It's a cute little title that has your hero or heroine moving to lift the darkness and push back...

I've played a lot of endless runners in my day -- and by "my day," I mean ever since I've seen the iOS and mobile market get flooded with them for the past three years. There's only so many times you can watch a dude run from...

Cave is arguably the best thing to happen to mobile gaming. There. Said it. I seriously suck at bullet hell-type games, but I still have to get everything that Cave sends your way for iOS devices. They're that good. The next ...

When The Last Express was first released in 1997, it was considered an incredibly engaging mystery set on the Orient Express as it traveled from Paris to Constantinople on the eve of World War I. In many ways the game was far...

Square Enix music game Symphonica is out now for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. This is a fun take on rhythm gaming that has you heading up a crappy orchestra and working toward becoming the world's greatest conductor. His ulti...

Dungeon-crawling iOS spin-off Infinity Blade Dungeons is going to miss its target release date, instead coming to Apple devices some time in 2013. In the world of games that are released roughly 2.1 seconds after they're anno...

The infamous six-part comic event from the Marvel universe is now in playable pinball form thanks to Zen Studios. The new table will let you side with either Iron Man and his Superhuman Registration Act, or with Captain Amer...

Most people know him from his cameos in TMNT, but Miyamoto Usagi has been the star of his own comic book series for a long time. His first and only game, Samurai Warrior: The Battles of Usagi Yojimbo, came out in 1988 for the...

I whiled away many hours in my youth playing Cannon Fodder on the Amiga, mostly replaying failed missions. It could be a brutal game, and its anti-war message was completely lost on my young mind, but I delighted in my victor...

Yesterday, the world spun off its axis in sheer amazement after learning of He-Man: The Most Powerful Game in the Universe. It's an iOS brawler based on the old school series, which makes my nostalgic little soul smile.  Here's a trailer for it, in which the game quite clearly takes the piss out of itself. I can respect that!

Whoa. I almost missed Badland, an "atmospheric side-scrolling action adventure" that's being designed for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch by ex-RedLynx (Trials Evolution) developers Johannes Vuorinen and Juhana Myllys, but I'm ...

Sweet nostalgia is the hook by which Chillingo and Glitchsoft hope to snatch you with He-Man, a new brawler coming universally to iOS devices. It's based on the old cartoon, you see. This means I'm going to buy it. Because I'...

In retrospect, Rovio Entertainment collaborating with Lucasfilm seems spot on. Not so much thematically, but in terms of how both Star Wars and Angry Birds have made obscene amounts of money through merchandising. Now, t...

11 seconds! That's how long this short, sweet trailer for Crazy Taxi will take to watch. Oddly enough, in that amount of time, we're told much of what we need to know about this release. The iOS version of the classic Dreamc...

You saw our nominees list for Game of the Year, right? And our runner-ups? Then you should understand how difficult it was for us to decide on one game to call our Game of the Year. I'm still nervous about it. I'm even more n...

Former Nintendo of America spokesman Howard Phillips has been sharing tons of goodies from his personal archives lately, and now he shares a game idea. As the original Nintendo "Gamemaster," he was tasked with knowing the in...

Beneath a Steel Sky 2 did not quite reach the funding requirements set forth in Broken Sword's Kickstarter, but Revolution has revealed that fan support was so enthusiastic, it's prepared to risk the game anyway. Beneath...

The idea of developers dedicating resources to mobile versions of franchises is something I’ve long been against, but have slowly been warming up to. So, they might as well make something good. Layton Brothers: Myster...

Keiji Inafune is a busy man. In the excitement of today's announcement of YAIBA, we failed to mention that his Comcept studio teamed up with Marvelous for another game that was actually just released. J.J. Rockets is a side-s...

This new opening movie trailer and demonstration for upcoming Square Enix title Demon's Score is crazy. There's haunted castles, talking teddy bears, machine guns, demons and knitted caps. That's everything I've ever wanted ...

Even though the game has been available on iOS for a few measly dollars, and on PC for free, Super Crate Box has finally hit the Steam ecosystem. We've already ranted and raved about how great the game is, so Steam fans have ...

A user over at NeoGAF was able to uncover a screenshot posted over on Sega's TGS 2012 website indicating that they plan on porting over the obscure 3DS release Rhythm Thief to iOS platforms. Neat! If you've played the game, t...

The iOS versions of Plants vs. Zombies have received a free update that adds five new Last Stand levels in which you have a limited amount of sunlight to work with. Nothing you can't handle, though, I'm sure. This concept is ...

Rovio has announced an actual sequel -- not a spin-off -- to its ludicrously popular Angry Birds series. Bad Piggies reverses the roles and puts players on the side of the green pigs that have served as cannon fodder across ...

I still remember reading about AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! (Force = Mass x Acceleration) for the first time three years ago, compliments of Anthony Burch's Indie Nation series. As a general rule, I'm a hug fan of free-f...

No More Heroes returns to your life as a free-to-play social mobile game. Something tells me that the unique blend of F2P, social gaming, and the mobile market isn't having NMH lovers jumping for joy. In fact it seems perfect...

Dr. Richard Garfield, creator of Magic: The Gathering and Gary Games, the company behind Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer, have teamed up to create a new digital collectable game which is still looking for funds on Kicks...

It was leaked ahead of time that Square Enix was building to an iOS port of The World Ends with You, something that would have infuriated hyped fans under normal circumstances. However, Square Enix had hinted that it wasn't j...

Square Enix and arrogance go hand in hand. The company has shamelessly charged premium prices for mobile games in the past, but its latest effort, Final Fantasy Dimensions, will be expecting as much as many 3DS games demand -...

So, that countdown Square Enix had everybody pumped for? The one that could have been for a sequel or something similar? Turns out Square Enix was actually getting us pumped for an iOS port. Prepare to rage! Or maybe not. The...
