Prepare for the Premier League 2016/2017 season with these apps
We're nearly there. This weekend sees the start of the new English Premier League football season, and it's shaping up to be an absolute barnstormer. If last season's Leicester win took everyone by surprise, then this season could see the big teams striking back with a vengeance. Not only do we have three of the world's best managers taking new positions - Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, Chelsea's Antonio Conte, and Jose Mourinho at Manchester United - but the latter has signed the most expensive and sought-after player in the world in Paul Pogba. It's the biggest show in football, and the Premier League 2016/2017 season could be the best year. With that in mind, here are a few apps tha…
Eisenhorn: Xenos - 6 worthy Warhammer 40k games on iOS
With today's launch of Eisenhorn: Xenos onto the App Store, it's worth reflecting upon the better iOS games set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. There are quite a lot of them. Eisenhorn: Xenos is a super-slick Unreal Engine-powered third person action game with some top notch vocal work from Mark Strong. It really is blockbuster stuff. What's great to see when looking around the iOS Warhammer 40k stable, however, is the sheer variety of content. Sure, it might all have a similar grim-dark sci-fi dystopian tone - that's pretty much a pre-requisite - but there are a number of distinct genres represented. And represented well, at that. Warhammer 40,000: Freeblade Freeblade isn't exactly…
EisenhornPokemon GO update - Fix the tracking already, Niantic!
Niantic has released another update for Pokemon GO, but it still doesn't seem to have fixed the main problem with the free-to-play smash hit - tracking. Pokemon GO has been a runaway hit, racking up $200 million for Niantic in just a month. Which is pretty good going when you consider it's been broken from day one. Now, we're not the kind of people to rant and rave over the perceived flaws and missing features of a free-to-play mobile game - particularly when that game has brought us many hours of pleasure. But the fact that a core component of Pokemon GO is fundamentally non-operational so long after the game's release leaves us rubbing our heads like a Psyduck. Pokemon GO shipped with…
Get your No Man's Sky fix on the go - 6 epic iOS space games
One of the most eagerly anticipated and crazily ambitious games of recent times, No Man's Sky, is finally out this week. The only trouble is, you'll need a PS4 to play it. It's an epic sci-fi first-person exploration game that takes in a whole randomly generated galaxy. You can explore planets, engage in space-bound dogfights, become a wealthy trader - the options are bewildering. Fortunately, there are a fair few games on the App Store that boast many of No Man's Sky's qualities. Maybe not all in the same package, and certainly not at the same scale. But download each of these six games and you'll have a pretty accomplished composite of Hello Games's latest effort. Galaxy on Fire 2 Ga…
6 iOS games that capture the Olympic Games Rio 2016 spirit
The 2016 Olympic Games are now in full swing in sunny Rio, and we've already seen some exquisite sporting action. From the young gymnastics prodigy Simone Biles to the shock of seeing the Williams sisters and Novak Djokovic knocked out of the tennis competition, it's been a fascinating start to this year's Olympics. If you've been bitten by the Olympics bug, here are six iOS games that will help scratch the itch in the hours in between events. Real Boxing 2: Rocky In a year where head protection has been dropped for Olympic boxing, it seems right that we include a top boxing game on this list. Forget the fact that this is a tie-in with the Rocky series of films - all you need to know i…
Take on the mightiest ships of WWII in Warship Battle’s third season update
JoyCity, the Korean developers behind the hugely successful Gunship Battle, bring you the third season update of Warship Battle – where the action takes places on the open waves of World War II naval history in stunning 3D. In Warship Battle you can take part in some of the most historic WWII missions through the games Hidden Mission mode, which along with Boss Attack, has been significantly improved in this latest update – including the option to reduce the Hidden Missions difficulty with the inclusion of two more levels to the mission stages. Not only do you get to take control of a vast range of authentic WWII era ships, season three brings you two new limited edition vess…
Suicide Squad - 6 iOS games featuring DC's baddest heroes
Suicide Squad is fresh out in cinemas, which has led us to thinking about about the not-so-super team's iOS treatment. If you want to see how Harley Quinn, The Joker and co. have fared in DC's gaming universe to date, check out these six games. Forget grumpy Batman and amoral Deadpool - if you like your cinematic heroes to be preceded by the word 'anti,' DC's Suicide Squad is where you should be directing your attention. The reviews for the movie have been mixed, but the sheer novelty of rooting for a team of established supervillains, all forced to do something worthwhile, will doubtless be a big draw for many. The likes of Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Killer Croc, and of course The Joker hav…
Mobius Final Fantasy not what you expected? Check out the best classic FF games on iOS
Mobius Final Fantasy is finally out on western App Stores, giving us a slick slice of JRPG-inflected card battling. It's rather good. But for many people, Mobius Final Fantasy may well be a bit of a disappointment. To those of a certain age, it's far from the traditional Final Fantasy experience they may remember from the '90s, with all of the hours spent exploring and chatting and fine-tuning your party. Fortunately, iOS is home to a whole bunch of excellent Final Fantasy conversions - usually with enhanced graphics and features. Here are our favourites. Final Fantasy IX Final Fantasy IX is the unheralded gem of the series, falling between the peak-popularity years of VII and VIII and…
Best new films and TV to watch on Netflix this week: Sicario, Black Sheep, and more
It's Friday, which for many exhausted people will mean an evening in front of the box watching Netflix. It can be hard to keep up with the comings and goings on the world's favourite streaming service, so each week we're going to be highlighting the latest film and TV releases. This week, we have an intense Hollywood thriller, a jet black horror-comedy from New Zealand, and a slightly twisted American sit-com given a second chance to shine. Sicario Image: Lionsgate This gripping action thriller from Denis Villeneuve stars Emily Blunt as an FBI agent who joins a task force to bring down the head of a brutal Mexican drug cartel, played by Benicio Del Toro. If classy thrillers like Zero…
Where to watch Pokemon XY, the Pokemon movies, and more
With Pokemon GO seemingly taking over the world and Pokemon Sun and Moon set to do the same in November, it could be said that Pokemon's popularity is reaching a new peak(achu). Of course, a large part of Pokemon's enduring appeal over the best part of two decades has been the long-running animated show based on its world. The good news is, it's never been easier - or cheaper - to watch these slickly produced, family-friendly cartoons. Here's a run down of some of the key avenues for getting your Pokemon anime fix. Pokemon TV app The first way to watch Pokemon is also the cheapest. It's the Pokemon TV app for iOS, and it's free to download. The app provides a rotating roster of shows t…
Limber up for the Rio 2016 Olympics with these apps
The 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio officially kick off tomorrow, August 5. Whether you're watching from afar or planning to head to Brazil to catch some of it live, here are some essential apps to enhance your experience. It's felt like Rio 2016 has been in the news for all the wrong reasons of late, but once the opening ceremony kicks off on August 5, all attention will be on the sporting action. However you plan to follow the 306 sporting events spread across two weeks, several of these apps will come in handy. Rio 2016 Let's start with the most obvious one - the official Rio 2016 app. This is where you come for all the up to date event times and results, as well as for detailed sp…
Top new film rentals: Batman v Superman, 10 Cloverfield Lane and more
With so much competing media, it can be easy to miss the latest movie rentals on iTunes and other digital stores when they arrive. AppSpy is here to help. Netflix and Amazon Video are all well and good, but when it comes to watching the latest films mere months after they leave the cinemas, you still can't beat a good digital rental. This week, we've got angry superheros, supernatural mysteries, biting satire, and some good old-fashioned family fun involving talking animals. Batman v Superman Do you want to see the two biggest superheroes of all time punching each other in the face repeatedly? Your raised nose and furrowed brow may say no, but your inner 12-year-old is screaming yes. B…
Mobius Final Fantasy isn't the first mobile-focused Final Fantasy game
The western launch this week of Mobius Final Fantasy reminds us that it's not all about conversions of the big numbered console RPG series for Square Enix. Indeed, there are already some unique mobile-focused Final Fantasy games on the App Store. You can now play enhanced versions of Final Fantasies I through to IX (though Final Fantasy VIII has been skipped, for some reason) on your iPhone or iPad. That's a pretty spectacular thought. In addition to these conversions, however, there's a handful of Final Fantasy oddities on the App Store that have been made specifically for mobile - of which Mobius Final Fantasy is only the very latest. Final Fantasy Dimensions Final Fantasy Dimen…
Batman: The Telltale Series - Telltale's best games so far
Batman: The Telltale Series hits the App Store this week, bringing a welcome sense of adventure and narrative sophistication to the Caped Crusader's typically action-heavy gaming oeuvre. Fortunately, the new Batman game has pedigree. The name Telltale might not ring any bells with you, but the developer is responsible for some excellent story-led games that demand meaningful choices from the player that will affect future episodes. What's more, Telltale's games typically have major intellectual properties attached, making them all the more appealing. Here are six of the most notable Telltale game series (there's no point skipping to later episodes here) on the App Store to get you in the m…
Creed and 5 more great boxing films available to stream
Creed is this week's iTunes Film of the Week, meaning you can rent it for just 99p. Ryan Coogler's Rocky spin-off got us to thinking about other top boxing films that are currently available to stream or rent for a decent price. Whether you're talking about Robert De Niro, Steve McQueen, or Tom Hardy, there are some true acting heavyweights represented in the following list. Creed (iTunes, 99p) PIC: Warner Bros. Let's start with the inspiration for this feature. Ryan Coogler's Creed is an nicely poised spin-off from the Rocky series, with Stallone's battered ex-boxer reluctantly taking up training duties for Michael B. Jordan's Adonis Creed - who happens to be the son of his late frie…
