Apple Arcade Just Got Another 30 Games, Including Some Beloved Classics

As you probably know if you frequent this site, I've been covering Apple Arcade games ever since the service's launch in 2019. I have a separate roundup I write periodically for them, as well as including them in my weekly roundups. The idea behind Apple Arcade is that you pay $5/month (or get it in a bundle with other Apple services) and you can play the library of over 100 games as…

Perspective Puzzler ΓÇÿMoncageΓÇÖ Set to Release on PC, Switch and Mobile in 2021

Moncage By: OPTILLUSION / XD Network I usually prefer to get my hands on a game before giving it attention here, but I had to make an exception for OPTILLUSION's upcoming perspective puzzler, Moncage. I'd seen earlier trailers for it a while back and my first thought was how it looked perfect for touchscreens, but I had no idea if it was planned for mobile. Well, now we know that it is…

Play NYC 2019 Highlights: Fourzy, That Chicken Game, GRIS and More

For the last few years, I've been going to Playcrafting's summer games conference called Play NYC. Last year was pretty lacking on the mobile front so I didn't cover it, but I wrote about my experience in 2017. This year had a pretty good turnout for mobile games, as well as games that seem like a great fit for the platform. I also checked out some PC games that looked interesting and…

Fourth of July, American Independence Day, is actually over, and I didn't really do much to celebrate it other than watch some Stranger Things Season 3 with a friend. But there have been a good number of noteworthy iOS games sales that popped up that are still in effect. So I'm going to list them here, along with any reviews or impressions I've written.

Apple Rejects ΓÇÿNSA Intern,ΓÇÖ Claiming ΓÇ£It Encourages Users to Fight TerroristsΓÇ¥

One of my favorite types of games to play is the satirical kind, the over-the-top humorous games that poke fun at current events and shine light on corruption, injustice, and absurdity. Though Black Vein Productions' first game, NoStranger, was in a different vein (pun intended), it had you solving puzzles using Google Street View and finding clues in fake blogs and music videos. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was looking forward to…

ΓÇÿDissemblerΓÇÖ Content Update Coming August 30th

Dissembler By: Ian MacLarty Ian MacLarty's colorful puzzler, Dissembler, is one of those games that I hadn't heard of before and didn't grab me from its screenshots, but I gave it a shot anyway since I was sent a code. It ended up being one of my favorite games, and a Game of the Year contender for 2018. I reviewed it back when it released earlier this year, and since then I've…
