The best games on sale for iPhone and iPad right now - August 9th
Well, would you look at that. It's finally stopped raining. Again, this probably doesn't have any bearing on your existence if you don't live near me, but the sun is out again and I can feel the first soft caresses of autumn rolling in the window.

With that in mind, or more likely, with none of that in mind, it's time to round up the best games on sale on the App Store right now. There are some pretty good games on the list this week, although it took me a while to find them, because they all went on sale earlier in the week. But I persevered, for you.

The Tuesday best of - Hellblade is out, so here are the best psychological horrors for iPhone and iPad
Well, it's Tuesday. I just went outside and got soaked to the skin. Don't go outside if you don't like getting wet and live near where I live.

Face your foes head on in Carmageddon: Crashers, available on iOS and Android
It’ll be time to turn up the heat and burn major rubber for all long-time Carmageddon fans out there, as the destructive racer squeals its way onto iOS and Android from today. A respectful reinvention of the controversial car franchise, Carmageddon: Crashers aims to be the antidote to dreary drag strip racing games of times past. Featuring a suite of classic Carmageddon cars to collect and race around in, Crashers tasks players to work their way up the top of the Crashers league, defeating all enemies in your way. This is drag racing with a difference however, with cars starting from opposite ends of the drag strip in order to race as opposed to simply edging each other out over the…
The Monday Musing - Everything you need to know about Titanfall: Assault
Well, Monday has flobbled into view, weary from its exertions at the weekend, dreaming of a Tuesday that it knows will never come.

After all, both of the words start with M. It's like it was meant to be, pre-ordained in the glimmering ether. Or some such nonsense. This week I'm going to have a muse about Titanfall: Assault. It's a card-battler in the Clash Royale mould, and it's set to hit the App Store later this week. Here's everything you need to know about what the game has to offer. What is it? It's a real time strat…

Monday has come round again. With all the good grace of that drunk friend who calls you at 3am and just sort of makes noises at you. Thanks Monday, it's always great to see you. Same time next week, yeah? At least Monday being here means it's time for some excellent AppSpy content. And Monday is when we smash out our Monday Musing.
