This brutal GIF of a Space Wolf Scout shooting a Chaos Marine and shattering his skull is all sorts of awesome
As Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf approaches launch, Herocraft has popped us over a GIF, and I just had to share it with you. It's a Space Wolf Scout with a Sniper Rifle, taking aim and firing at one of the legion of Chaos. And it is absolutely devastating. PS. You grabbed your code for a free Booster already, right?…
Warhammer 40kThanks to Dead Trigger 2 I know what the 11 best weapons for killing zombies are
Zombies. They're a pain. We all know that one day - maybe even this Halloween - zombies will eventually attempt to overrun the Earth. When that day comes though, I'll be prepared. I'll be prepared because I play video games. Video games with big weapons to kill the undead. Video games like Dead Trigger 2. Not wanting to keep this knowledge to myself, I've compiled a list of Everyplay videos showing the 11 weapons from Dead Trigger 2 that I think will be most effective against the living dead. And this is that list... A pistol and knife. Standard. A heavy gun emplacement. A little less standard. A person sort of pretending to be PewDiePie. Increasingly standard. A "Brainmill" a…
Chain Breaker is an auto-runner / platformer / puzzler hybrid, and this is what it looks like
Chain Breaker is from indie developer Lemonauts. It's a game all about running through levels, and cutting chains and smashing platforms to create safe paths through said levels. While you're doing that you'll collect coins and even transform into a flaming flying ball of death too. Neat. Fancy giving the launch video a peek? Sure you do! The game's out now for iPhone and iPad, it's 99c / 69p, you can find it on the link below. [App Store link]…
Halloween Update trailer for Age of Warriors shows off a few of its seasonal extras
Age of Warriors has had a small but not insignificant update for Halloween. Spooky clothing and ghastly new avatars are in this update, and some time sensitive special items have been thrown into the mix too. So now you can enjoy the sweet sensation of punching elves in the face during real time strategy combat, all the while dressed as a man who has a pumpkin on his head. Huzzah for video games! If you want in, you can download Age of Warriors (and its new update) from the App Store now. [App Store link]…
'Tea and the Tub' video from Supercell shows Boom Beach's massive new Task Forces update, reveals Lt. Hammerman love of bubbles
Even evil dictators need some "me time" every once in a while, and Lt. Hammerman is no exception. The 'Tea and the Tub' trailer that Supercell's just popped out is evidence of this. But it's not all about the relaxation: this video also explains all about the huge new update that finally adds clan support to Boom Beach. I was a big fan of Boom Beach, but I lost interest after the updates seemed to dry up. However, with this new content, which is out now as a free update, I'm very tempted to return...…

Bounty Hunt is a free-to-play gunslinging duel in the wild west
Games set in the wild west are almost always a bit naff, with a few exceptions, most notably Sunset Riders and Red Dead Redemption. I'm yet to play Bounty Hunt, but the trailer looks really promising. It's a duelling game with a "flick fire" mechanic, Wi-Fi multiplayer, some cool weather effects, character customisation, and the ability to get new weapons as well as upgrading the ones you already have. Here's that trailer I mentioned earlier. Bounty Hunt is out now on iOS and Android, and it's free-to-play. [App Store link][Google Play link]…
Hands-on with Javelin Masters 2, in which I throw a mighty 94.52 metres
In this video I get a score that's almost good enough to break into the top 100 of my country. That's pretty good I reckon, certainly far better than any real life attempts at getting into athletics I've tried. Javelin Masters 2 is out now, it's free, it's a bit moreish, and I'm loving it at the moment. So AppSpy community, go grab it and see if you can beat my score.…

Twisty Hollow is full of spinning wheels, kooky characters, and bacon
Arkadium's latest puzzle game is Twisty Hollow, and I'm loving the papercraft look to it. In addition to the maple syrup sweet visual style, there's also 50 levels of spinning a wheel to solve puzzles, thereby satisfying the demands of the local populace and a tyrannical mayor. These demands include gathering up bacon. Twisty Hollow is out on October 30th as a paid game for iOS and Android. Here's the announcement trailer.…
Drift'n'Drive trailer reveals 4 person local multiplayer, 60fps play, and thumping soundtrack, has me shaking with anticipation
I love nothing more than a good arcade racing game, and it looks like Drift'n'Drive is shaping up to be a very good arcade racing game. It's a top-down racer where you fight through a pack of cars, avoid obstacles on the track, and use speed boosts to win championships. Gameplay mods and randomly generated tracks should keep things fresh, there are upgrades to be made to vehicles, there's single screen multiplayer for up to 4 people, it's a silky smooth 60 frames per second, and EDM artist Tommy Baynen (who's been featured on Armin van Buuren's ASOT, as well as contributing music to AG Drive) provides the soundtrack. I'm hyped, here's the trailer.…
Hands-on with Puzzle to the Center of the Earth, where Spelunky and Bejeweled combine
What do you get when you cross a rogue-like with a match-3? You get Puzzle to the Center of the Earth, that's what. Playing like a combination of Candy Crush Saga, SteamWorld Dig, and Mr. Driller, it's a heady mix of spelunking and puzzle matching. Here's my preview of the game, let me know what you make of it in the comments.…
