One to watch - Galaxy Stack is out for iPhone and iPad next week

There aren't that many publishers working in the mobile gaming industry that we respect more than Crescent Moon Games. Here's a studio working with some of the most interesting talent going, that's always releasing really good new games. And next week could see another one of those, with the release of Galaxy Stack. It's a game that mixes together two of the most popular genres on the App Store - the shooter, and the stacker. You're not just blasting alien invaders out of the sky in order to win, you need to make giant piles of their corpses too - just in case they weren't clear after you'd shot them down who was in charge around here. Intriguingly this one is a premium game - it's going…

The top 3 best top down shooters for iPhone and iPad

Welcome to the third part of our round up of the best of the different styles of shooter that you can grab from the App Store. We've already covered the top 3 arcade shooters as well as the top 3 platform shooters. Today, we're going to look at what we think are the three best top-down shooters that you can pick up from the App Store at this very second. Since it's such a short list, there's a good chance we've missed out one of your favourites. We've not done it on purpose, and we'd love to hear your suggestions - and the reasons you think they should be included - in the comments section down there at the bottom of the list. For now though, let's get on with the games we've chosen. Neon…

The top 3 platform shooters for iPhone and iPad

We've already told you what the best arcade shooters on the App Store are (you can click that link to find out if you missed the article), and now it's time for the next addition to our list - the best platform shooters. It's almost a side-genre from the arcade shooter, but there are so many games that could fit in, we thought it was best to give it a list all of its own. Since we've only picked three games, there's a chance that we've missed out your favourite. If that's the case, do let us know the games you think should be included, and let us know why as well, in the comments section down at the bottom of all of these words. Right then, on with our picks. Downwell This one would mak…

It's hard to think of a less specific genre than the shooter. So we thought we'd break it down a little bit, giving you a series of lists about the different types of blaster you can download from the App Store. With this one, we're going to look at the top 3 arcade shooters you can grab for your iPhone or iPad right now. Of course there are loads of arcade-style shooters on the App Store, so there's a very good chance that we've missed out on one of your favourites. If that's the case, make sure you let us know about it in the comments section down at the bottom of the article. Steredenn We'll start off the list with one of the best shooters in recent memory.

The top 3 iPhone games that will help you keep your new year's resolutions

It's the time of the year when you're going to be making a lot of resolutions, and here at AppSpy we thought we should give you a helping hand, by letting you know about some games that could help you get fit in the new year. Exercising is pretty dull after all, so if you can find a way to make it more interesting that's okay with us. We've picked what we think are the three best games that are going to help you get more fresh air this year, but if you've got your own suggestions, especially if they've helped you out, do let us know in the comments section at the bottom of the article.

One to watch - Lyrical Letters is out next week for iPhone and iPad

Let's take a moment and look to the future. Not too far into the future, obviously, we're not magicians - but into next week. In fact, let's take a look at what we think is the best game that's coming to the App Store in the next seven days. What game is that? Well we've had a good long think and scratched our beards and we think you should be getting excited about Lyrical Letters, a puzzler that sees you tickling the ivories to your heart's content. But it's not just about music, it's about words too. You play songs, find letters, and then use those letters to make - you guessed it - words. There are a number of different sounds you can get out of your little digital piano, and on top of…

The 3 best games that came out for iPhone and iPad in December 2018

It might seem like it happened about a thousand years ago, but December is actually only three days dead. Which means it's time for us to take a quick look back at the very best games that came out in the twilight month of 2018. If you think we've missed anything out (we probably have, since there's only three games on the list), then make sure you let us know in the comments section at the bottom of the article. Command and Conquer: Rivals It was a pretty big surprise when this came out and it wasn't terrible. It was an even bigger surprised when it turned out to be one of the best midcore MOBAs of the year. It's got some neat ideas, it's well balanced, and the violence it offers is fa…

We've already told you about games 10-6 on our list, and you can read all about them by clicking this link right here. Now it's time for number 4 in our list.

Of course there's a chance you won't think that, so do let us know in the comments if you think we've got this one wrong. The Room: Old Sins The fourth game in The Room series does away with things like numbers. It's a stand-alone story set in the same unnerving Victorian universe, and it's all about poking and prodding a doll…
