Control and race toy cars with Anki Overdrive this September

Remember when you used to play with Scalextric as a kid, seeing how fast you could make the toy car go before it flew off the track? Anki have taken that idea to the next level.

22cans addresses the Godus community over concerns about the game's future

As it currently stands, a fair few of the features promised in the Kickstarter campaign won't be making their way into Godus, which has resulted in an outpouring of concern from the Godus community. Amidst this unrest, the developers of Godus have released a video status update to try and address the concerns about the future of the game, which has had its development shifted to a smaller team. Check out the video below, where 22cans go into much further detail about the Kickstarter campaign, the game's development, and its future.…

Hands-on with Religion Simulator, and praise be to the cheese slices

I'm not one for organised religion myself, but I find the concept fascinating. If you're equally interested in how religious dogma spreads across the world, or are just up for a fast-paced strategic game, then Religion Simulator may be for you. I got my hands on an early build, and this is what it looks like in motion.…

Check out how Legend of Grimrock will play on your iPad this spring

2012 saw the arrival of a real indie gem in Legend of Grimrock which was inspired by first person dungeon crawlers of yore such as Dungeon Master and Eye of the Beholder. Legend of Grimrock is now coming to iPad and I can't wait to give it a second run. It's just entered the beta stage which means, in technical terms, that it's nearly there. Legend of Grimrock will arrive in the App Store this spring. Check out the brand new footage from Almost Human below to see the game in its current state.…

Hands-on with Daytona Rush, the endless racer that goes round and round and round and round and

So far I've enjoyed my time with this early version of Daytona Rush. A colourful and chunky endless racer, Daytona Rush mostly has you zipping between three lanes, trying to avoid the heavily congested tracks, all the while keeping an eye on your fuel gauge and pitting into a fourth lane to resupply. The game's out shortly, here's an early look...…

Just how much damage can your mobile gaming device withstand?

There are a lot of things to consider when deciding which mobile, tablet, or handheld device you're planning to purchase.

Soul Seeker is a mobile action RPG that's all about the team effort

Come to think of it, most action RPGs are selfish experiences. Bar a small few, you're largely on your own destroying absolutely everything in your path such as orcs or barrels just minding their own business. However, in Soul Seeker you assemble a whole team of action junkies to take on the world with. Let's hope that means you don't have to hammer the health potion button when you can get a team mate to heal you instead. Soul Seeker RIse of the Devils is out now on iOS and Android. The trailer below will give you a better look at the game and the links below will take you to the App Store and Google Play. [App Store link] [Google Play link]…
