The Thursday Find - Standby
Thursday is here again. It's quite sunny and nice out, but that doesn't mean that the content train is going to get derailed. I'm far too much of a professional to go outside and play in some fountains. Instead, it's time for the Thursday Find. If you're new here you might not know what the Thursday Find is. Well, it's our weekly suggestion of the one game you should definitely be playing this week. And I reckon we've found you a doozy this time. So long as you actively hate yourself and avoid success at all costs. As usual you can click on the emboldened name of the game below to download it from the App Store. And if you've got something to add to the discussion, feel free to chuck it in…
The best games on sale for iPhone and iPad right now - August 9th
Well, would you look at that. It's finally stopped raining. Again, this probably doesn't have any bearing on your existence if you don't live near me, but the sun is out again and I can feel the first soft caresses of autumn rolling in the window. This is a good thing. Especially if, like me, you have the constitution of a seal. With that in mind, or more likely, with none of that in mind, it's time to round up the best games on sale on the App Store right now. There are some pretty good games on the list this week, although it took me a while to find them, because they all went on sale earlier in the week. But I persevered, for you. As per, you can click on the emboldened names of the gam…
The Tuesday best of - Hellblade is out, so here are the best psychological horrors for iPhone and iPad
Well, it's Tuesday. I just went outside and got soaked to the skin. Don't go outside if you don't like getting wet and live near where I live. In fact it's probably best not to go outside at all if you live near where I live, it's pretty grim around here. And speaking of grim things, today has seen the release of Hellblade on PS4 and PC. It's a gritty hack and slash game with psychological horror elements. Obviously it's not going to come to mobile, but it did get me thinking - what are the best psychological horror games on the App Store? So that's exactly what I've gone and written. A list of the three best psychological horror games for iOS. You can download them by clicking on the embo…
The Monday Musing - Everything you need to know about Titanfall: Assault
Well, Monday has flobbled into view, weary from its exertions at the weekend, dreaming of a Tuesday that it knows will never come. Poor Monday, so despised by all and sundry, all it wants to do is live a little, but it never can. What it can do is provide the perfect platform for the Monday Musing. After all, both of the words start with M. It's like it was meant to be, pre-ordained in the glimmering ether. Or some such nonsense. This week I'm going to have a muse about Titanfall: Assault. It's a card-battler in the Clash Royale mould, and it's set to hit the App Store later this week. Here's everything you need to know about what the game has to offer. What is it? It's a real time strat…
The 5 best games for iPhone and iPad this week - August 4th
Oh look, Friday is here. Hello Friday. How are you? Eating all your greens? What's that? You're already drunk. Well you should be careful, you don't want a reputation as a booze hound. No, don't stick that smashed glass in my face. NO! STOP! While I wait for the ambulance of the weekend, I suppose I'll write up the five bests games that came out on mobile this week. It's been an alright week if you like gaming on the go, although I doubt it'll go down in history. Because, well, that would be ridiculous. Anyway, you can click on the emboldened names of the games below to download them from the App Store. And if you've got any games you think should be included on the list, stick them in the…

Aren't you a bunch of lucky sausages?

The best games on sale for iPhone and iPad right now - August 2nd
Welp, it's Wednesday. I'm sort of running out of things to say about days of the week now. I'm sorry Wednesday, I feel like I've let you down. It's just that I'm very tired and my face feels really warm for some reason. What a life. One thing I know for sure is that Wednesday is when I round up the best games on sale on the App Store at the moment. And this week there are some real gems that have had their prices slashed. One might even call it a vintage week. Some of the games that didn't make this list would have easily made it into other week's lists. Anyway, you can click on the emboldened names of the games below to grab them from the App Store. Except the one that's got two entries.…
The Tuesday best of - Double Fine games for iPhone and iPad
Tuesday has crawled in, probably covered in mud and with a weird look in its eye like it's been up to something terrible, but it's not quite ready to tell you what yet. Maybe next week Tuesday. You keep your secrets for now. Anyway, on Tuesday here at AppSpy we like to round up some of the best games on the App Store. And this week is no different. We're going to take a look at the best Double Fine games for iOS. And you're probably going to get a bit angry. As usual you can click on the emboldened names of the games below to download them. And if you disagree with anything on this list, which you probably will, fell free to stick your own suggestions in the comments all the way down there…
The Monday Musing - Three games that should get their own mobile card games
Monday has come round again. With all the good grace of that drunk friend who calls you at 3am and just sort of makes noises at you. Thanks Monday, it's always great to see you. Same time next week, yeah? At least Monday being here means it's time for some excellent AppSpy content. And Monday is when we smash out our Monday Musing. We just sort of have a sit down and a think about things. Not too deep a think though, I mean, it's still Monday. This week I'm thinking about The Elder Scrolls: Legends. It's a card game based on the super popular Western RPG, and it just came out for iPhone. And that got me wondering about what other massive games should have their own card game on mobile. The…
The 5 best games for iPhone and iPad this week - July 28th
Welcome, one and all, to Friday. If you've never had a Friday before, here's a brief run-down. It's the last day of the working week, and everyone looks forward to it with the grim determination of prisoners looking forward to the hour they get to spend outside. It also means that here on AppSpy we get to round up the best games that came out this week. So that's pretty exciting. And it's been a mammoth ol' week for games coming out on the App Store. They haven't all been dross either. As usual you can click on the emboldened name of the games below to swoop off to the App Store and pick them up. And if you think we've missed anything out, then whack your suggestions in the comments at the…
The Thursday Find - Galaxy of Pen and Paper
Happy Thursday everyone. I hope all of your dreams have come true and you're not squatting in a pit of filth and misery. Because, quite frankly, that sounds completely awful. If you are doing that, then reach out to someone. They might be able to help you. Weird intro. Anyway, Thursday means it's time for the Thursday Find. And we've got a super duper cool find for you this week. It's so found that it's off the finding charts. I don't think that's going to catch on, but I'm going to keep pushing it anyway. As per, click on the emboldened name of the game below and you'll be able to download it from the App Store. And if you've got an opinion on the game, chuck it in the comments all the wa…
The best games on sale for iPhone and iPad right now - July 26th
Ah Wednesday. The central pillar of the working week. It's like the pole holding the rest of the miserable sheet up. If only we could find a way to knock it down. Together comrades, charge at the pillar that keeps us oppressed. No? Okay, maybe next week then. Wednesday is when we like to look at the best games on sale on the App Store anyway. So it'd be a shame if we dismantled capitalism before I got a chance to tell you what you can save some pennies on at the moment. As usual you can click on the emboldened name of the games below to go and grab them from the App Store. And if there's anything you think should be on the list but isn't, why don't you let everyone know about it in the com…
The Tuesday best of - Word games for iPhone and iPad
Tuesday is here. It's Tuesday everyone. Okay, real talk, does anyone know what Tuesday is actually for? Has anything important ever happened on a Tuesday? Look back through your history books, and I bet you'll find that literally zero things have occurred on a Tuesday. Anyway, here at AppSpy on Tuesdays, we like to buck the trend by trying to do something interesting. It usually involves rounding up three of the best games in a genre. And that's what we're doing today. And we're having a good long look at word games. As usual you can click on the emboldened names of the games below to swoop over to the App Store and download them. And if you think there should be other games in the list, w…
The Monday Musing - Three genres that need the mobile deconstruction treatment
Oh my word it's Monday already. Dark and dreary Monday, cowering in a corner and scowling at anyone that dares to ask it how it's doing. A forgotten thing, lonely at all times, scorned simply for existing when it does. Poor Monday. But Monday also means it's time for a Monday musing. And this time around I thought we'd have a look at genres that could do with a sensible mobile deconstruction. We've seen it a lot recently, with games like Clash Royale and Wagers of War – titles that are taking the core ideas of a genre and then squishing them into mobile-sized packages. With that in mind, here are three other genres that I think are ripe for the squishing process. You might agree, you…
The 5 best games for iPhone and iPad this week - July 21st
Hi there Friday. You look lovely, strutting around in your finery like the cock of the walk. You know we love you best of all the days in the week, and you're not afraid to milk that affection for all that its worth. I can respect that. And since it's Friday, that means it's time to round up the best games that have come out on the App Store this week. It's been a pretty decent week all told, especially when you compare it to last week. Let's never talk about last week ever again. As usual you can click on the emboldened names of the games below to download them from the App Store. And if you think I've missed anything, which I probably have, chuck your suggestions in the comments at the b…
