Final Fantasy Dimensions 2 A neat FF game that sits somewhere between Squeenix's mobile output and a fully fledged title. It's a lot of fun, and it cuts back on a lot of the wandering around that some people find off putting about the series. It's full of retro charm, in…
The Thursday Find, our weekly iPhone and iPad recommendation - The Muscle Hustle

We are good to go. The Muscle Hustle What would happen if you crossed wrestling with marbles? Well a lot of people would say you were crazy. They'd say you'd gone too far. Others would call you a maverick, a visionary, the sort of person who could lead us into a golden age of mash ups between pretend sports and childhood…

Is Dreamworks Universe of Legends suitable for younger mobile gamers?
Have you ever wondered what a team-up between Po from Kung-fu Panda, a dragon from How to Train Your Dragon, and another character from a third Dreamworks property might look like? No? Me neither, but some people probably have, and they're who I'm writing this content for. That's because Dreamworks: Universe of Legends came out last week. It's a free to play casual RPG featuring heroes from a whole bunch of Dreamworks animation properties. And it's quite a lot of fun, if you're into that sort of thing. But there are a few nooks and crannies that people who are unfamiliar with the genre might have trouble with, especially if they're younger players. And since that's pretty much who the game…
The best hints, tips, and tricks for Squashy Bug for iPhone and iPad

The 5 best games for iPhone and iPad this week - October 20th
It's Friday again. The week is spinning towards its ignominious and no doubt messy end. By which I mean it's nearly the weekend and we're all probably going to go out and get real silly. I know I am.

The Thursday Find, our favourite game of the week - Time Recoil
Oh look it's Thursday again. I know I said things were going to change around here last week, but I've decided some things are better staying the way they are. At least for the time being anyway. But don't get too attached to anything, destruction is the nature of the universe. All of that means that we're going to do another Thursday Find. That's when we write about one game that you definitely should be playing this week. It was hard picking just one, but I think I've spotted an under-appreciated doozy that's going to make you go “oh, thanks for finding us that under-appreciated doozy, Harry.” As usual you can click on the emboldened name of the game below to download it from…

The best hints, tips, and tricks for Color Ballz for iPhone
Color Ballz is one of those little games that you're going to get horribly addicted to. I of course mean that in the best possible way. Like, you're not going to go out and mug old ladies just so you can get another hit. It's free, it's ad-supported, and it's an awful lot of fun. If you don't know what it is, allow me to enlighten you. Imagine a mix betwee Breakout and Pachinko. You're controlling a paddle at the bottom of the screen, and you need to hit falling balls into a funnel. The more balls you get in the funnel, the more points you get. There are a few twists though. You've only got a limited number of balls, and once they've all dropped below your paddle it's game over. Don't fret…
