Angry BirdsLearn how to play Monster Hunter Freedom Unite with AppSpy - Part 12
It was a week of failure.

On the bright side of things though, we did start up our Multiplayer Meeting Post, so that's something. Want to see us not fail? Try one of these episodes.…

Hands-on with Run Sackboy! Run!, the LittleBigPlanet auto-runner coming to mobiles
Much like seeing Pokemon on your iPad, controlling Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet on your mobile feels a bit weird, a bit out of place. Not that we're complaining mind, especially since he's starring in a pretty decent auto-runner. I had a quick look at the game, and already I can report that, while it's occasionally a bit “safe” feeling, it's definitely the high level of quality you'd expect.…

Here's my quick hands-on with the game.…
Hellraid: The Escape is out now on Android, expectedly looks amazing
The Unreal Engine-powered survival horror puzzler Hellraid: The Escape is a very good looking game. I mean, it's totally gross in spots, and has an incredibly dark, dank, oppressive atmosphere, but its fidelity and the technical realisation of its horrific environment is spot on.

If you played Inferno+ you're probably very excited indeed to hear that there's a new game in the series out in the neon wilds.

Cycleplay's new auto-runner is called Hyper Cat, and it features cats in hats, trying to catch birds and generally (but futilely) try to reach the tops of the infinite trees they're scrambling up. The gameplay is definitely arcade-y and instant in feel: you tap on the screen to change which tree you're running up, avoiding hazards, very much like Timberman. Want in on the free-to-play feline fun? It's available now on iPhone, iPad, and Android. [App Store link] [Google Play link]…
