Swap Heroes launch trailer is equal parts epic and adorable
In Swap Heroes you take a group of hroes and wade through level after level of turn-based combat with a puzzler twist: you swap members of your party to launch attacks. I love the pixel art and retro-inspired soundtrack on this trailer, and I think you will too, so take a look. It'll be available on iOS this week, and will cost you 99c / 69p.…
Swap HeroesCreepStorm is an impressive looking tower defence game that'll be exclusive to Fire Tablets
CreepStorm may be a tower defence game, but its towers are a bit different to what you might expect: they're actually heroes - with their own stats and upgrades - that you can move around the playfield to conquer all foes that lie in wait. It's out of Happy Tuesday and Amazon Game Studios, and it'll only be available on Fire Tablets. Hopefully we'll bring you more on the game in the run up to release, but for now here's the trailer.…

Play Sigils of Elohim now, unlock doodads in The Talos Principle later
Croteam has a new title for PCs (and maybe mobiles) on the way, called The Talos Principle. It's described as a "philosophical first person puzzle game" and looks like a cross between Myst, Portal, and Gone Home. It's not out for a while, but to get you in the mood there's a free prequel that's just been released for iOS and Android (and PC, Mac, and Linux). Sigils of Elohim is its name: a puzzle game where completing its various challenges will unlock special items in The Talos Principle.

Final Fantasy VI Symphonic Poem is 20 minutes of orchestral awesome
"The music of Nobuo Uematsu remains as powerful and as moving today as it did when we first heard it 20 years ago" - that's what producer Thomas Böcker said of the Final Fantasy composer's oeuvre, and I think you'd be hard pushed to disagree. So you should definitely spend part of today watching the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra cracking through 20 minutes of Final Fantasy VI's score, as part of its anniversary celebrations. To do so, all you need to do is click this link right here, and you'll be transported to the RSPO's official website. Have patience though: the video's worth watching, but the site itself is antiquated, taking approximately 1 billion years to load anythin…

WinterForts: Exiled Kingdom is out now on Android and iOS, brings a new twist on strategy management
It seems like every week we see a new game like Clash of Clans come along, and while WinterForts: Exiled Kingdom may use that formula as its base, it's also a little bit different, a little bit special. The main change, and it's an important one, is that there's more strategy to defence construction, with the option to setup your fortress in such a way that forces enemies down routes that will likely spell their demise.

The launch trailer for Skater sees Andrew Reynolds talk you through an infamous Hollywood skate spot
Skater is Frosch Media's play for the title of "best simulation skateboarding game", and though we haven't played it enough yet to confirm if that's the case, it's certainly super authentic: the game replicates real world skate parks and spots - such as the Carlsbad Gap and Woodward Plaza - and features big name skate brands too. The launch trailer is equally in tune with skating culture, with pro skater Andrew Reynolds explaining the history of the 12 and 16 step at Hollywood High, a spot featured in Skater.

Sleep Attack TD trailer will leave you spinning
The big twist in Sleep Attack TD is that, in addition to placing down towers to defend your location, you can also quite literally twist the battlegrounds to work in your favour. So if powerful enemies are approaching from one angle, but your towers that will deal with them most effectively are in another location, you can simply spin the world around and bring the baddies to the area they'll be weakest in. Neat, eh? Sleep Attack TD will be available October 23rd on the App Store, and will be priced $2.99 / £1.99. Here's the trailer to keep you going until then.…
