What's up with Pocket Gamer's new "conversational" reviews. At first, I thought it was just a device for the review I was reading. Now that I see that it's for every review, it's really annoying.

Anyone know how to request a mobile view for a site? I requested desktop view for pocket tactics to fix a bug but now I can't go back to mobile view.

It changed on iOS9, tap the Export button at the bottom of the screen and there is 'Request Desktop Site' hidden on the right.

Playing Downfall too after seeing Giant Bomb show it off this week. I'm surprised how good the controls are on iOS - it literally only took me a couple of minutes to get used to them. That said, 2-1 onwards gets super hard. Fun though.

Little late to this I know but I'm really enjoying card crawl. Addicting card game despite the fact that I don't even like most card games.

Hey guys, what do you think is the best football/soccer game? Thanks :)
Click to expand...

New Star Soccer (NSS)

Used to be amazing. Then they updated it with more stuff, and tweaked it to push more IAP's. Primarily through an exhausion stat / energy drinks, basically really difficult to balance all you need to do / games, without being knackered all the time. Still worth checking out though.

First Touch Soccer

Hear good things / positive reviews, can't comment myself.

FIFA / Football Manager / ??? No comment.

Destiny.
:) :| :( :)


I'm also playing an iOS game though,
Contest of Champions

How did Cloud Chasers turn out, anyone? Watched some gameplay but didn't really look that engaging.

For the ones interested, this week Rodeo will announce next thing.
Probably not really 'next thing' like new game, but realistically something Deathwatch related (I'm hoping for new acts, yeah!!!!).

Also they decided to publish last patch 1.3 this week too (that is ready since forever but iOS9 wrecked Game Center and multiplayer...so they were waiting for 9.1 but now they are sick of waiting).

BTW...Deathwatch FLIES on iPhone 6S.
I wonder if getting the PC realtime shadows can be a possibility (I saw them briefly, REALLY cool).

Guitar Hero Live is out on iOS:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apple-store/id1024764676?mt=8

2 Free songs and then:
49.99$ iAP for the "Digital Touch Unlock"
or
99.99$ for a bluetooth guitar plus unlock:
http://videoeta.com/game/32088/guitar-hero-live-bundle-ios/

This is the exact same version of the game that is releasing today on consoles with HDMI out support.

I don't know about others but I don't think I'd take a risk on this with mobile being the way it is. IOS versions breaking things. Support even for previous GH games on mobile has not been good. I know this is a more advanced game and high visibility release, but I'd only even consider it if you have no console and absolutely had to have it.

I certainly want to support premium games, but I just don't have enough confidence to buy something this big on mobile yet. It's also typically been the bigger companies that fail to support older apps.

Maybe if this on turns out well and there is dedicated support for it, then the next go around could be different.

I know I'm super late to the party but Badland is awesome.

Never really played it till I re downloaded it to just try 3D touch in a game.
So I played some levels...got intrigued...then after some more levels I was totally hooked.
I'm now in the middle of day 2 (the second outer circle)....no idea how many days are there nor if there is some kind of story or ending (sometimes I see things moving in the background so I wonder)....but it's really cool, 'simple' but with a lot of variation and many levels are simply brilliant.
Perfect level length too.

Unfortunately, Apple doesn't have enough feature slots week to week to cover all great games :(

Quality is (usually) necessary for success, but it isn't a guarantee.
Click to expand...

I can't remember a high quality game that wasn't featured in any way. I love iOS, but we don't get that many high quality games every week to easily fill all the spots. I'm sure there's a few examples of good games left in the dark, but from my experience they are the exception, not the rule.

Too much into Steam lately, so many games to play (FEZ, Super Meat Boy, Environmental Station Alpha, Cryptark, Rayman Legends, Feist,...) and buy (Ori and the Blind Forest, Galak-Z, The Bug Butcher,...) I dont know if I will buy this or not. Right now, seems unlikely...

From the makers of the excellent Lunar Flowers, another great looking experience:

The Beautiful Dream, based apparently on a Chinese poem.

EDIT: Just tried 5 minutes. GORGEOUS.

Just finished Lunar Flowers yesterday, it's beautiful but some puzzles were really annoying, the feedback is just so sparse and the clues so subtle that I got pretty angry at it ...

Will try the beautiful dream just cause it looks so beautiful again -.-

Hey guys!

Despite all the crazyness I've been through this past month, I'm still super pumped with what my team at Halfbrick was able to achieve in our Jetpack Joyride: Back To The Future update, and today's the day to really play it!

Jetpack-Joyride-back-to-the-future-Android-update-1-600x338.jpg


Throughout this month we've been running the JJ:BTTF event in the game - brand new mode where you pick up flux capacitors to extend time, and use two brand new vehicles: The Delorean and the Hoverboard.

The trailer we made is sweet, and the vehicles are so damn awesome, I'm super proud of my team back at Halfbrick. I pitched the original idea for vehicles and the mode. Turns out I picked the right horse considering how much the media is going all in on BTTF this past week (Also the mode we made is super cool, I think we're the only guys who jumped on the BTTF bandwagon too! Score!)

It's got two weeks more to run right now. If you want to keep the Delorean and Hoverboard for use in the regular game there's an IAP, but man, it's pretty awesome. Playing the game unlocks Marty, Doc and Biff costumes too!

It's out on iOS as well as Google Play.
