  • Deus Ex GO

    —

    ,

    The GO series of games from Square Enix Montreal has been fantastic so far, and I’ve been anxiously waiting for the release of this latest one, based on the Deus Ex franchise (another series I quite like). It’s pretty much what you’d expect it to be like, an extension/evolution of what we saw with Lara…

  • Mr. Robot:1.51exfiltrati0n.ipa

    ,

    I wrote the other day how I was getting excited about playing a few iOS games, and this is another one of them. I really loved the first season of Mr. Robot – and am currently waiting for season 2 to finish before watching it – and when I saw that there was a new…

  • Reigns

    ,

    I haven’t been playing games on iOS of late, but finally got around to trying out Reigns last night (a game I’d been hearing raves about), and loved it. It’s such a simple idea – a binary text adventure game (think choose-your-own-adventure) – but presented in such a beautiful way, and with the added mechanics…

  • iA Iconic

    Space Invaders with a typographic twist. This is a free game that was released by design studio iA (the company behind the iA Writer app) and visually it’s a beautiful thing to take in, with “Invaders” taking the form of icons, and a great soundtrack as well. Where it loses me a bit is in the…

  • Pathfinder Adventures

    ,

    I’ve been wanting this card game for ages, but I never picked it up because it’s pricey, especially when I was in Tokyo and looking at import prices. That’s why I was pretty excited when I found out that they were planning on making an iOS version (and I think it’s also on Android and…

  • Miitomo

    ,

    A lot of people are playing with this right now (it came out outside of Japan on Thursday), and you’re hearing a lot of “what’s the point here,” and the thing is that there isn’t one, really. It’s just a way to spend some time looking at funny things, with a light level of interaction (answering…

  • Rival Books of Aster

    —

    ,

    I am absolutely falling in love with a new collectible card game on iOS called Rival Books of Aster that just came out (although it seems like it’s currently only available in the Canadian App Store). The gameplay is sort of a cross between Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering, while still feeling original. The first…

  • OK K.O.! Lakewood Plaza Turbo

    —

    ,

    I really like the idea behind Cartoon Network’s new game, of creating a new series but starting out with a game, not a proper animated cartoon show – this Wired piece explains what they’re up to with this. I was excited to give OK K.O.! Lakewood Plaza Turbo a try, and I gotta say, it’s…
