One of the most appealing facets of Apple Arcade is the idea that I can try before I buy. I know a lot of games these days come with demos, but usually those are extremely limited in how much you'll be able to see of the final product. With...

It's hard to believe that Shantae and the Seven Sirens is just...out on the Apple Arcade (kind of)! I mean Shantae games are an event at this point following the incredible second showing of Risky's Revenge. From Ga...

I shouldn't need to talk you into picking up a game as perfect as Downwell when it's free. Heck, you should probably already own it somewhere -- PC, Switch, PS4, mobile -- because it's only $3. But, $3 is $3, and free is free. For the ...

So iOS 13 is finally out, and Apple is doubling down on gaming. Apple Arcade is in full swing with a ton of games, and you can now use your Xbox One and PS4 remotes on your iOS devices. Yes! Here's how to set that up (not that it's hard, bu...

While all the console and PC folks have to wait another five weeks to officially get their hands on the next Call of Duty game, the wait for the mobile crowd is much shorter. The cleverly-titled Call of Duty: Mobile blasts o...

At long last, The Floor is Lava: The Video Game is almost here. Don't Starve developer Klei Entertainment is putting the final touches on Hot Lava, a first-person parkour game that we first started following back in 2016. It looked neat the...

In mid-2018, much to the chagrin of Castlevania fans everywhere, Konami announced Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls: a mobile multiplayer series spinoff. Since then we haven't really heard much about it, but Konami is changing that with a...

Enter the Gungeon didn't inflict enough pain on this world, apparently. Game developer Dodge Roll wants us to survive another bullet-hell gauntlet. Its next venture, Exit the Gungeon, is a spin-off with the same manic vibe but a slightly di...

There are too many subscriptions in this world, but Apple Arcade – an ongoing library of "over 100 new, exclusive games, all playable across iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Apple TV" – is a particularly interesting prospect. ...

[Update: Dr. Baby Luigi is confirmed to be part of the update as well!] On September 5, Dr. Mario World will welcome a content update that features a new 20-stage world and Dr. Baby Mario. The game will enter maintenance mode on September 4...

Naruto will never die. In what is assuredly the Dragon Ball of this generation, the Naruto manga/anime moved on to Boruto, Naruto's son, who now has his own follow-up series that will also last hundreds of episodes. But that doesn't mean th...

If you haven't played 2015's Her Story yet and really enjoy the idea of a modern FMV adventure game, you probably should get on that: it's $10 on Steam and worth an afternoon (or several). It's better than the FMV board game from Community,...

If you burned out on Pokemon Go (or never started), there's a new Pokemon mobile game coming to town very soon: Masters. The gist is you'll be syncing Pokemon up with trainers for battles and friendship, as the game takes a decide...

Capcom is moving full speed ahead with Mega Man X DiVE, their mobile adaptation of the X series, and they've just revealed that the game will feature co-op. In the newest DiVE trailer we see Zero working in tandem with his ne...

Rogue Legacy is back to burn away even more of our free time with a new port to iOS. It's out today for just $0.99, but the discounted price won't last long – it's only good until Sunday, August 11. From that point on, the iPhone/iPad...

In case you missed it, I've been playing a lot of Teppen this past month. A co-developed venture from GungHo and Capcom, Teppen is a real-time card game that features heavy-hitters from the Capcom universe, who serve as "heroes" that utiliz...

Mega Man X DiVE is proceeding as planned. Despite the trepidation with fans all over the world, the next Mega Man X game is officially a mobile joint, with an "all-stars" tint and a sort of meta-narrative that involves you revisiting "...

Reed, Sue, Johnny, Ben. It's good to have you all back in the fold. I mean the 2000s-era Tim Story films didn't do you any favors with the public, and the 2015 project, "FANT4STIC," might be the worst superhero movie ever made. And yes, I r...

Whether you've stuck with Pokémon Go since the beginning or you've long since dropped off, it can be interesting to see where the game is at from time to time. This week, The Pokémon Company touted a new milestone that helps i...

"Discretion is key" is not a phrase you'd associate with Doom. This series has spent nearly 30 years solving problems by blasting big guns at bigger demons. Yet, thanks to some sealed lips and secrets kept, Bethesda was able to pull off a ...

Capcom keeps diving into the well of Mega Man X. Despite the fact that the series proper died with Mega Man X8 in 2004, the publisher is keen to bring back Zero and X on a moment's notice, cramming them into myriad fighting games, RPGs...

The Harry Potter franchise is a riddle gaming just hasn't been able to crack yet. There have been many attempts over the years, with different developers and publishers taking a swing at the book and film series, with mostly middling r...

We'll always have the original Plants vs. Zombies. I'm just putting that out there now. This week, PopCap and EA began testing Plants vs. Zombies 3 with a pre-alpha version available to Android users. You'll need at least a Galaxy S7 runnin...

The more I heard about Dr. Mario World the more I wanted in. The idea of multiple characters from the Mario-verse donning doctor outfits beyond the scope of just Mario and Luigi was a sight to behold: I mean Bowser in a coat helping cu...

Minecraft Earth is another intriguing AR game that could make waves in the mobile market, similar to what Pokemon Go did a few years back. It has a similar track, as it's going to be free-to-play and will arrive on iOS and Android, but the ...
