When I got my iPhone in 2011, I immediately started snatching up as many free games as I could to get a feel for mobile gaming before making any actual monetary investment. One of those games was Imangi Studios' Temple Run, a...

Nvidia announced the Tegra 4 mobile processor here at CES this week, and they were using a name game called Blood Sword to show it off.  With this kind of power under the hood it's easy to forget you're playing a mobile ...

Oh hell yes! Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes is making its way to iPhones and iPads on January 24, with an Android version to follow sometime later. The mobile version will be based on the HD version that was released on Xb...

Shaquille O'Neal has returned to gaming thanks to Hiptic Games, the developer of ShaqDown. An appropriately ridiculous-looking Android and iOS title available as of today, this $0.99 game isn't going to win any awards for or...

I was happy to see GODUS do well on Kickstarter if for no other reason than it will be interesting to watch unfold, and really, it seems like Peter Molyneux needed this for his own well-being. Since we last checked in, the ca...

Mobile puzzle games usually don't get a lot of gamer cred. It's a shame, because a lot of them really break the mold, and provide pretty deep experiences if you let them. One such game is Disney's Where's My Water?, and its ...

Zen Studios has announced today that Zen Pinball HD would make its way to the Google Play store today. Yes, I'm sure some of you have had it for awhile (myself included), but that's because we're running one of those sexy Teg...

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...

Toys For Bob sought to make a quality product that both kids and adults could enjoy in tandem. They greatly succeed with Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure and Skylanders Giants. But as is the case with any runaway IP, one develop...

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...

Baldur's Gate will forever be regarded as one of the classic PC RPGs. A lot of people never experienced it back in 1998, and it's not exactly the best-looking game anymore. To complicate things, it can be a pain to get the ol...

Have you played Rayman Jungle Run? This game is gorgeous and nearly impossible to put down. It would be in my top 3 list of games I'd take back in time to shove in the faces of gamers that said mobile gaming would never ...

You're all familiar with Crayon Physics Deluxe, right? It's been around for quite some time (pardon the ancient review), originally winning the Independent Games Festival's Grand Prize back in 2008. Kloonigames has released a...

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...

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...

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...

Growing up, Zaxxon was one of my favorite games that I didn't have. I had a ColecoVision and the game released for that console, but it just never found its way into my home and I was always a little bit jealous of a friend ...

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...

A couple of years following its debut on iPhone, turn-based RPG Chaos Rings has become available for Android devices 2.3 and up. I would have figured that Square Enix and developer Media.Vision would drop the price a bit give...

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...

A developer talking passionately about its game, a journalist receiving answers to questions without fail, and nothing in between keeping either side from doing what they set out to do. This is how it should be, but it rar...

Mobile hit Jetpack Joyride launches on PS3 and PS Vita this month, with Europeans getting it today while North Americans wil have to wait until December 31. It's in full HD, features leaderboards and trophies, and will be abs...

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...

Somewhere between checkers and chess, the contemporary turn-based strategy game resides. Advance Wars, X-Com, Heroes of Might & Magic, and Fire Emblem are known by many, loved by some, and mastered by very few. Their i...

Minecraft Pocket Edition is finally available on the Amazon App Store, which by proxy means that it can easily be purchased on your Kindle Fire and installed in minutes. Although a large number of people have already rooted t...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

I wish I was a practical gent, especially when it comes to construction. Unfortunately, I can't even put up a shelf without a lot of hassle, injuries, and the expectation of fanfare at the end. Thankfully, there are a nu...

Gameloft's latest mobile title is an Unreal Engine powered action adventure game where blood is wild! Well, presumably. Maybe the title, Wild Blood, is just tricking us. Regardless, best prepare for the worst and anticipate ...

It looks like the newest member of the Angry Birds family is "Pink" -- a cute looking character that enjoys blowing bubbles, and happens to share the other birds' disdain for pig-kind everywhere.It's unclear what Pink's exac...

With just six days left for funding, Shadowrun Online has only made a little over half of its goal of $500,000. Don't confuse this project with the first Shadowrun Kickstarter, which more than quadrupled its goal. This one is...

Let me preface this by saying that I'm not 100% sure if there are already Pokemon-like games available on iOS or Android devices. I'd love to be told differently, but for now I'll tell you about ngmoco's Monster Tracker, the ...

Transformers Mobile is an upcoming card battle game in the same style as ngmoco's current top hit, Rage of Bahamut. You'll be able to play as Autobots or Decepticons and take on missions where you'll be earning credits, recru...

Later this year, PopCap will be releasing a free app on iOS and Android devices. Based on Plants vs. Zombies, Talking Zombatar allows you to take care of your own zombie, Tamagotchi-style. Dress it up, make him dance, take ph...

Thank your lucky stars! There's a new content for Angry Birds Space. Update 1.2.2 packs a hefty bag of goodies, adding 20 levels, a brand new orange bird, and a pig boss so big he has his own gravitational pull. As you can se...

Do you want a pretty nice looking shooter for your mobile device? SNK Playmore has you covered with the release of a Neo-Geo favorite, Blazing Star. The iOS and Android versions feature a retro perfect Arcade Mode for those t...

A whole bunch of games dropped on us today, but there was an absence. Sega sent out a press release today stating that the PS Vita port of Jet Set Radio has been delayed. The publisher gave no specifics as to when the ti...

Rovio's first non-Angry Birds flavored mobile game is finally upon us, and it takes the form of Amazing Alex (which sadly, could have been called The Amazing Chad instead). If you're familiar with the Goldbergian devices of 9...

In the glorious pantheon of vaporware, Sadness stands at the tippy top. The hype behind the game -- if it ever truly existed in some playable capacity at any point in time -- was only matched by the curious insistence of its ...

That Ferris Bueller Super Bowl ad was one big troll, and I'm still feeling the sting. How dare you, Honda? And how dare YOU, Mr. Broderick!? You knew how fans would flip out, yet you went through with the commercial regardles...

In an effort to address some recent questions regarding the Vita port of the game, the community managers at the Dungeon Defenders team have erected a forum post to help shed some light on important DD happenings. A number of...

Kemco unveiled a new JRPG at E3, but we somehow missed it. If the Japanese publisher had not sent us screenshots and a new trailer for the upcoming game, we would have missed it entirely.  Symphony of the Origin isn't t...

Great news Android users. Ninjatown: Trees of Doom is now on Android. And not only is it available for the low low price of zero but with the latest update also comes with a host of fresh features. Players can now e...

Bring on the exquisite pain of third person shooting to your Android mobile device. Rockstar has just announced Max Payne Mobile, arriving this week. Play the original Max Payne in updated HD graphics, Social Club connectivit...

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 ... Burnout is awesome. Always has been, always will be. And while it is true that we haven't seen a true game from that franchise in a while, Criterion has been doing its best to bring all of the insane, anarchic fun we ...

You can find gold in the most unlikeliest of places. That's never been more true than at E3, and this year's show is no exception. I was scoping the Gameloft booth, not expecting much, checking out the licensed The Amazing Sp...

Although Machinarium was already available for the PC, Mac, iPad, and Android platforms, now you can pick it up on the PS3 as well via the PSN. C'mon Microsoft and Nintendo -- you're the only odd ones out here!The develo...

If financial domination was EA's goal then FIFA just scored big time. EA has released financial figures for fiscal 2012 that indicate it was a banner year for FIFA, pulling a record $108 million between microtransactions and ...

Love it or hate it, Angry Birds is still a massive deal, as evidenced by the ludicrous amount of merchandise surrounding it. While it's become cool to despise, legendary videogame developer Shigeru Miyamoto has taken its side...

Warballoon's Star Command seems to be shaping up rather nicely. As one of those games that got Kickstarted before it was cool, it missed its initial planned release of late last year, but it is currently planned for a Summer...

Damn you, Zack Gage! The hit iOS crossword search-like puzzle game SpellTower is now out for Mac. Creator Zach Gage sent me a copy today, completely blowing my productivity.  If you've somehow missed this form of digital...

Two developers at Hello Games made the realization one day that Joe Danger would translate perfectly to the mobile platform. After the well received Special Edition and sequel, it appears as if that dream will finally become ...

"Rain chili dogs" is Sonic speak for "release date" (that cartoon influenced me to eat way too many chili dogs back in the day). Just like the first Sonic 4 title, Episode 2 will be coming out for every platform under the sun...
