The Monday Musing - The iPhone and iPad games every Twin Peaks fan should play
Well Twin Peaks finished last night. Did you watch it? I didn't, I don't really care about anything. I hope you enjoyed it if you did though, and that you're not pining too strongly for a thing now forever lost. Wait a minute though, if you are, maybe I can help? After all, Monday is when we have a muse here at AppSpy, so I guess I could have a muse about the best games to play on your iPhone or iPad if you like Twin Peaks? You know, surreal experiences with unreliable narrators that sway between kooky weird and what on earth is going on weird? I'll just do it, no need to reply. As usual you can click on the emboldened names of the games below to download them from the App Store. And if yo…
The 5 best games for iPhone and iPad this week - September 1st
It's Friday. That's just a fact. I don't have anything witty to say because, well, sometimes it's hard to think of witty things to say. I realise it's my job and all, but you just don't know the pressure I put on myself to be witty in these first three paragraphs. I think it's eating me alive. It's cool though, I'm going to get a big sandwich tomorrow. Meh. Friday is when we round up the best games that have come out on the App Store this week. Well, the five best anyway. Some other games might have come out, but I only have the energy to tell you about five of them. If you think some other games should have ended up on this list, why don't you tell us all in the comments below. And if you…
The Thursday Find - Smashy Duo
Oh hi there Thursday. How are things going with you? I honestly don't care. I'm really hungry and I sort of need to get all of these words written before I go to the shops. So let's drop all these niceties and get down to the nitty gritty of hot, steaming content. Every Thursday at AppSpy we choose one game that we think you should be playing this week. Just one. It's called the Thursday Find, and since we're not messing around here I'm going to get to the end of this paragraph and then write one more and we'll get all the way into the heart of it. As usual, as you know, as everyone knows, you can click on the emboldened name of the game below to download it from the App Store. And if you…
The best games on sale for iPhone and iPad right now - August 30th
Oh hi there Wednesday. I'm super confused and I'm still pretty sure it's Tuesday. But then, yesterday was Tuesday, and I don't think days can keep going for more than one day.

Because officially it's Wednesday, and officially Wednesday is when we round up the best games that are on sale on the App Store. And there are some real gems going cheap this week.

The Tuesday best of - Survival games for iPhone and iPad
It's Tuesday. It's not as hot as it has been for the past few weeks, and I'm pretty glad about that because my entire flat was starting to smell like the changing room at a lower league football club during the off season. But Tuesday is also when we round up three of the best games in a specific genre for the App Store. And this Tuesday is no different. This Tuesday we're going to look at three of the best survival games on the App Store. As usual you can click on the emboldened names of the game to download them from the App Store.

The 5 best games for iPhone and iPad this week - August 25th
Well it's Friday, and that means two things. First I'm back at home after a trip to Gamescom, and second it's time to round up the very best games that came out on the App Store this week. After all, that's what we do every Friday. There have been some pretty big releases this week too, so this is a list that's chock full of some really rather excellent options. It's going to be a tough week for people who only ever buy one game at a time. Although I honestly don't know if any of those people exist. As usual you can click on the emboldened names of the games below to grab them from the App Store. And if you think anything is missing from the list, feel free to chuck your own suggestions in…

The Tuesday Best of - SNK Playmore games for iPhone and iPad
Well, it's Tuesday now. Doesn't time fly. I'll let you in on a little secret though – it's actually still Monday for me, but thanks to the wonders of scheduling, I'm talking to you from the past. I guess, in a way, I'm always talking to you from the past. There's something for you to have a ponder about. Whichever way you look at it, Tuesday is always the day when we do our best-of. It's called the Tuesday best-of, after all, it'd be crazy to do it on another day. Just proper bonkers. So I'm doing it today. Or yesterday. Wow this is confusing. This week we're going to look at the best SNK Playmore games on the App Store. There's three bonafide classics here, and while they might not…
The Monday Musing - Is AR gaming the future of mobile?
Well, Monday has stumbled over, yelling about what an amazing weekend it had. It probably didn't do any of things it's telling you, but just nod and smile and tell it that it sounds like it had a blast and hopefully it'll go away pretty soon. The only good thing about Monday is that it's when I get to write the Monday Musing, which as I'm sure you'll agree is the single greatest piece of regular content that's ever had the word Monday in its title. Don't try and think of any others, you won't be able to. Anyway, this week I'm going to have a good old muse about AR gaming. Is it the future of mobile, or is it another flash in the pan that's going to fizzle about before it's even really fizz…

The Thursday Find - Portal Walk
Oh look, it's Thursday. Time, as ever, is moving inexorably onwards. Soon the heat death of the universe will be upon us and then, finally, the content can stop being created. Not yet though. Not just yet. Thursday is when we regale you with the Thursday Find. It's the game we think you should be giving a go this week. If you only get one, then get this one.

The best games on sale for iPhone and iPad right now - August 16th
Hello there. It's Wednesday. So that's probably good. Especially if you like the days of the week. I don't like them. They are mean to me. I have to do things on them. What a life. What a silly, silly life. Anyway, Wednesday is when we round up the best games that are on sale on the App Store at the moment.

The Tuesday Best of - Zombie games for iPhone and iPad
Well, we survived Monday. Unless you're a ghost or a zombie while you're reading this, in which case I'm sorry, but I'll try and tailor the site to your undead needs from now on. Wait a minute, the undead. That gives me an idea. There are loads of zombie games on the App Store in one shape or another, so it's probably time that someone wrote about which three are the best. I think you'll agree that that makes perfect sense. And if you don't agree, well that's your problem, not mine. You can click on the emboldened names of the games below to download them, and if you've got your own suggestions then feel free to add them in the comments at the bottom of the article.

The Monday Musing - The best Sonic The Hedgehog games for iPhone and iPad
There's a new Sonic game coming to the 3DS this week, so that's exciting if you've got one of those.

And this time around I'm going to muse about the best Sonic games that you can get on mobile. And some of them are going to be pretty shocking to you. They might not, I'm not really bothered either way to be honest. Anyway, you can click on the emboldened names of the games below to download them from the App Store.
