Each and every day new mobile games are hitting the App Store, and so each week we put together a big old list of all the best new releases of the past seven days. Back in the day the App Store would showcase the same games for a week, and then refresh those features each Thursday. Because of that developers got into the habit of releasing their games throughout Wednesday or very early Thursday in order to hopefully get one of those coveted features spots. Nowadays the App Store refreshes constantly, so the need for everyone to release all on the same day has diminished. Still, we’ve kept our ..read more

Thinking back to when I first got my iPhone, one of the earlier games I bought was a decent little take-off of Nintendo’s 3D Picross called Oh! Cube. It was implemented fairly well, and I had a nice time going through all of its puzzles. I expected more games along those lines, but just as on consoles, they never really came. Well, here’s one: PiKuBo (Free). It’s pretty clear what it’s doing if you’ve played 3D Picross before, but the devil as always is in the details. Is it worth trying out? Investigation time! Let’s talk the money stuff first, because that’s how the world works. As you can s ..read more

Paradox Interactive’s grand strategy (and other) games have been the most interesting PC games to follow when it comes to all things relating to the Steam Deck. You might immediately question who would want to play these games outside a keyboard and mouse environment, but I’ve been interested in, and have been playing Paradox Interactive games on consoles and more-recently Steam Deck for a few years now. Yes, the games might not be ideal on those devices compared to playing on your PC with a mouse and keyboard, but having options is always good, assuming the end result is fine. That’s what I a ..read more

It’s a surprisingly slow day today outside of a bit of news from Nintendo’s president saying that the company will talk about Switch’s successor sometime this fiscal year, but not at the June Nintendo Direct.

After a lengthy but satisfying visit with the Thunderbolts, it’s time for Marvel Snap (Free) to turn the page to its next season. Fortunately, this one appears to not be a tie-in to a movie that got delayed a year. Well, maybe it is… in another reality. We would have to ask Marvel’s experts on the matter, The Exiles, and luckily for us the new season is all about them. A Blink in Time is the name, and we’ve got all the details for you along with some light analysis. First of all, as ever, the charming Mr. Ben Brode and the folks at developer Second Dinner have produced a very funny and inform ..read more
