One to watch - Lyrical Letters is out next week for iPhone and iPad

Let's take a moment and look to the future. Not too far into the future, obviously, we're not magicians - but into next week. In fact, let's take a look at what we think is the best game that's coming to the App Store in the next seven days. What game is that? Well we've had a good long think and scratched our beards and we think you should be getting excited about Lyrical Letters, a puzzler that sees you tickling the ivories to your heart's content. But it's not just about music, it's about words too. You play songs, find letters, and then use those letters to make - you guessed it - words. There are a number of different sounds you can get out of your little digital piano, and on top of…

The 3 best games that came out for iPhone and iPad in December 2018

It might seem like it happened about a thousand years ago, but December is actually only three days dead. Which means it's time for us to take a quick look back at the very best games that came out in the twilight month of 2018. If you think we've missed anything out (we probably have, since there's only three games on the list), then make sure you let us know in the comments section at the bottom of the article. Command and Conquer: Rivals It was a pretty big surprise when this came out and it wasn't terrible. It was an even bigger surprised when it turned out to be one of the best midcore MOBAs of the year. It's got some neat ideas, it's well balanced, and the violence it offers is fa…

[Updated] The top 10 iPhone and iPad games of 2018: No. 10 to 2

Because it's the end of the year we're rounding up all of the amazing games that have come out over the past 12 months. This is the page where you're going to be able to see the entire list coming to life, since we're going to be updating it every time we add a new game. Right now we've got links that'll take you to check out games ten through six, which you can check out below. We had a tough time picking all of the games on this list, as you might be able to imagine. It's hard to remember a year when the releases were so varied - even if we broke the list down into genres the choices would be tough to make. But we've done what we think is our best to make a sensible list that really refle…

Yesterday we told you what we thought the fifth best iPhone and iPad game of 2018 was. We've already told you about games 10-6 on our list, and you can read all about them by clicking this link right here. Now it's time for number 4 in our list. It's a gloomy return to screen-poking that's filled with horror, spooks, and a sense of unease, and it's bloody brilliant. Of course there's a chance you won't think that, so do let us know in the comments if you think we've got this one wrong. The Room: Old Sins The fourth game in The Room series does away with things like numbers. It's a stand-alone story set in the same unnerving Victorian universe, and it's all about poking and prodding a doll…

It's time to take a look at what we think is the sixth best game to come out for iPhone and iPad this year.

The top 10 iPhone and iPad games of 2018: No. 8 - Tiny Bubbles

2018 has been a really great year for mobile gaming. In fact it's been so great that it was really tough to pick the ten best games that have come out for iPhone and iPad over the past twelve months. We've done it though. We started our round-up with what we thought was the tenth best game of the year, and yesterday we told you all about game number nine. This time round, for the less mathematically cognizant, we're going to tell you about the eighth best game that came out this year. Do you agree? Do you disagree?

The top 10 iPhone and iPad games of 2018: No. 10 - Oddmar

Since it's coming up to the end of the year, we've decided that it's time to start rounding up what has been a particularly good year in the mobile gaming world. And we thought we'd do it by running down our ten favourite games of the last twelve months. Because we're traditionalists we're going to start with our tenth best game of the year. We'd love to hear what you thought of the game, whether you agree with its position on the list, or if you wouldn't even bother playing it with a twenty seven foot barge pole. Oddmar We're starting things off with what we reckon might be the best mobile platformer of the past twelve months. It's all about a Viking who's trying to prove that he deser…

Here's what you missed last week on Pocket Gamer's YouTube channel

Hello and happy Tuesday, one and all. It's been a minute since I last blathered on here on AppSpy and figured it might be a good idea to catch you guys up on what our/Pocket Gamer's YouTube channel had been up to last week. Since it was a flurry of Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales, it was pretty busy over on Pocket Gamer last week, so sorry about my absence. Good ol' James has had you well covered though with a variety of videos for your viewing pleasure. Bill and Ted's Wyld Stallyns You might have seen this game creep out a couple of weeks back, but now that James has gotten his hands on it you can see what it's like up-close and personal. Er, we wish we could tell you that it's the g…
