The Monday Musing - The best 3 games of 2017 so far
Ah Monday, the greyest of days. Speaking its name out loud feels like ash in your mouth. It is the great destroyer, the end of dreams, the final nail in the coffin of the weekend you cling on to so tightly. Monday. Monday. So it's time for a Monday musing. That's where I like to muse about things going on in the mobile gaming world. And I do it on a Monday. I'm a sucker for alliteration. Don't judge me, I used to be cool like you. In this week's musing I'm going to have a look back at the three best games that have come out on the App Store this year. After all, we're already half way through 2017. Think I'm wrong?

The best games on sale for iPhone and iPad right now - July 5th
Welcome to Wednesday my lovelies. Remember, if anyone wishes you a happy hump day today, it's your sworn duty as a member of the AppSpy community to stare them directly in the eye and sigh as loudly and dramatically as you can physically manage. Trust me, it's in the rules. To try and deflect from the agony of having to talk to other people today, I figured it was only fair to do what I usually do on Wednesday. Which means I've gone right ahead and written up a list of the five best games that are currently on sale on the App Store. There are even more gems out there for cheap though, so chuck any suggestions you have in the comments at the bottom of the article. Oh, and you can click on t…
The best games that are like the classic film Independence Day for iPhone and iPad
It's the 4th of July. Or, as I like to call it, the day Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Paxton, and that crazy drunk guy saved the world from invading aliens. I'm pretty sure that film was a documentary, right? It looked so real. Anyway, because Americans everywhere are celebrating Independence Day, I thought I would too. By writing about some games that are most like my favourite movie, Independence Day. Not the new one though, because that film was horrid and silly. You can click the emboldened name of the games below to download them. Also, I'm sorry if I offended anyone in the first two paragraphs. You might like Independence Day: Resurgence. It takes all sorts to make a world, after a…
The Monday Musing - 3 games in soft launch you should be excited about
It's Monday. Monday is here. Let's all rejoice by getting on with our work diligently. It's what our capitalist overlords want from us, after all. I thought this week we'd take a look at some games in soft launch that you should be excited about. There's three in all, because that just seems like the sort of number that fits these features. There are definitely other soft launched games you should be exciting about, but I can hardly cover everything now can I? The emboldened names of the games won't take you to the App Store this time around, because the games aren't out worldwide. Don't worry though, we'll be sure to let you know when they get a full release. Unless they turn out to be ru…

Wellity wellity well. It's Thursday, the fourth day of the working week. That's pretty exciting isn't it? It'll be Friday tomorrow.

Well, it's Wednesday, it's tipping it down, and the temperature has dipped down to Autumnal levels. To say I'm happy would be an understatement.

Oceans & Empires’ new update is making a real splash
It looks as though it’s high time to be diving back into Oceans & Empires, as the naval strategy MMO’s new update makes landfall today. The June Grand Update brings a number of exciting new features that breath fresh excitement into your ocean adventures. Put your naval might to the test with a new Boss Monster, Aestaros, who challenges players to intense Rally Attacks.

The chat system allows players to talk to anyone, regardless of server. New preset features make battles flow more smoothly, too, as you can no…
AndroidThe Tuesday Best of - Turn-based strategies designed for iPhone and iPad
There are an awful lot of turn-based strategy games on the App Store, but which are the best? And, more importantly, which are the best that started out life as mobile games. There are a lot of slick ports for your phone and tablet, but I thought we'd focus on games built from the ground up for mobile. So that's what this week's Tuesday best-of is all about. Deep tactical experiences that were always meant to end up in your pocket. And I think I've found three proper gems that should keep fans of the genre super happy. As usual you can click on the emboldened names of the games below to download them. And if you've got your own suggestions for our readers to play, feel free to toss them ca…
The Monday Musing - 3 games we'd like to see on Sega Forever
Welp, Sega Forever is a thing now. It's not quite a streaming service, more like a bunch of Sega games that you can get for nowt. Or pay for if you want to avoid seeing adverts all the time. It's a pretty neat idea, and apparently the big S is going to be updating the catalogue regularly with games from its extensive archive. Obviously that's lead me to a Monday Musing. I used to heart Sega with all of my heart, so I figured I'd have a think about three games that I'd love to see coming to Sega Forever sooner rather than later. And that's exactly what I've done. If there are games you'd like to see, feel free to chuck them in the comments down at the bottom of the article. Unless you're go…
