Well, Samsung went right ahead and announced the Galaxy S8 last night. It's the newest in the South Korean firm's range of smartphones, and it's got a few new features that gamers are definitely going to be interested in. And a few potential problems too.

The best games on sale for iPhone and iPad right now - March 29th
Oh Wednesday, where have you been all my life? In exactly the same place in the middle of the week? Well I guess that makes a lot of sense if you stop and think about it. Anyway, Wednesday at AppSpy means a round-up of the very best games that are on sale on the App Store right this second. And let me tell you it was a bit of a chore digging up some of these beauties. Still, I think we've ended up with a pretty darn solid list. As per ever, click on the emboldened name of the games below to download them.

Destiny 2 for iPhone and iPad won't happen, but you could play these games instead
Well. Wellity wellity well. Bungie has gone and announced Destiny 2. I mean, sort of, it's shown a picture with the word Destiny and a big number 2, which could mean a lot of things. But I'm gonna go ahead and say Destiny 2 is coming to consoles this year. But console games, as we all know, are for dweebs. Mobile is where all the best experiences are at. Yup. Sure. We all definitely believe that. Move on. Nothing to see here. Which got me thinking, what games could you play on your iPad or iPhone to get some of that sweet Destiny feeling in your eyes and fingers. Since, y'know, the game is highly unlikely to ever come to mobile. So here's a list of games that might just scratch your mobil…
The Tuesday best of - If you loved Card Thief, try out these other Tiny Touch Tales games
Oh look, it's Tuesday. At least I think it's Tuesday, I'm having a hard time keeping track of time. Hang on, let me shout out of the window and ask a passer-by... Yup, it's Tuesday, and apparently I'm an idiot. Anyway, Tuesday is when we have a look at some of the best games on the App Store. They might be the best games in a specific genre, or the best games with a particular style. This time round they're the best games from a developer. And that developer is Tiny Touch Tales. Its latest game, Card Thief, just came out on the App Store, and it's really, really good. So I thought we'd have a look at three other games from the dev that you should definitely play. As ever, click on the e…
The Monday Musing - The best console tie-in games for iPhone and iPad
Well The Elder Scrolls: Legends came out last week. It's a card game set in the super famous Western RPG universe. There are cards, monsters, and it's all wrapped up with some pleasing strategy that reveals itself as you play. But that got me thinking about big console games that have made the transition to mobile. Not ports, but games that have taken some part of their experience and transcribed that onto touchscreen. So in today's Monday Musing that's what we're going to have a look at. You can click on the emboldened names of the games to download them. And if you can think of any more, stick them in the comments all the way down there. Deus Ex GO - £4.99 / $4.99 To be honest…

The Thursday Find - Retro Soccer
I have something of a soft spot for silly football. I think it stems from the fact that I'm not very good at sensible football.

I mean, hopefully it's going to come as something of a surprise, because that's sort of the point.
