Review: Running with Friends

Fri, 24 May 2013 10:25:21 GMT

This is a freemium game review, in which we give our impressions immediately after booting a game up, again after three days, and finally after seven days. Click on the links to go straight to day three or day seven. I love the idea of the "... with Friends" series, I really do. I get to enjoy multiplayer sessions with my friends, but we don't have to go through the painful process of coordinat...

Samsung shifts 10 million Galaxy S4s in 1st month on sale

Fri, 24 May 2013 10:01:00 GMT

Samsung must be rather proud of itself at the moment. Why? Well, because it has recently announced that it has shifted 10 million Galaxy S4s worldwide little under a month after its new superphone went on sale. And that's in spite of some initial shipping delays in the UK. Although we had some reservations about Sammy's new flagship Android phone, that hasn't prevented rather a lot of peo...

Hold it! Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy HD out on iOS next week

Fri, 24 May 2013 09:17:35 GMT

Capcom has tossed out some false testimony about Ace Attorney HD being delayed until July, and let the record state that this three-game collection will, in fact, be out on iOS next week. This imminent app includes the first three games in the Nintendo DS franchise. That's Phoenix Wright, Justice for All, and Trials and Tribulations. They all star rookie lawyer Phoenix Wright, who is assigne...

Review: Unearthed: Trail of Ibn Battuta

Fri, 24 May 2013 09:11:00 GMT

'This does NOT look good.' It's perhaps apt that we start this review with an action script cliche, because Unearthed is full of them. And also because this was my first thought some 15 seconds into the game. Admitting defeat Semaphore Studios's third-person shooter has such unwieldy controls and unbalanced gunplay that I couldn't get past the opening corridor in my first half a dozen ...

It's been almost four months since the US release of the Platinum Award-winning Fire Emblem: Awakening, and the DLC schedule has finally drawn to a close. Today, 3DS owners will have received a notification that two new maps are available for purchase: The Future Past 3 and Apotheosis.

Review: Turbo Racing League

Thu, 23 May 2013 18:00:00 GMT

Turbo Racing League is an unashamedly bright racing game. Every aspect of the snail-based speedfest, from the track you race along to the rich red tomatoes you spend on upgrades, is painted in vibrant hues. That vibrancy can be felt in the simple gameplay, too. This is a game that's all about accessibility, and, while it never quite opens up to reveal hidden depths, as fast-paced arcade blasts ...

Thu, 23 May 2013 17:23:22 GMT

Welcome back to our weekly run-down of Nintendo's digital shop. This week we have classic Nintendo characters, nifty RPGs, rhythm platformers, and all sorts of other strange-looking games in the eShop. And there's older retail games now available for download, just in case you missed them the first time around. But which ones are worth grabbing, and which should you leave well alone? Take...
