Here’s another weekly round-up of news, previews, and features from Pocket Gamer, 148Apps, and the rest of our sister sites.

On our Youtube page, James Gilmour provides his impressions of the challenging precision platformer Temple of Spikes, discussing its masochistic level design, various abilities you gain, and controls.

Over on Pocket Gamer, Clement Renaudin checks out the cooperative city-builder Pixel Plex (out now on iOS) and it’s uniquely multiplayer-focused designs, including mayor elections every two days.

Tre Lawrence on Android Rundown reviews the new fighter Tekken, particularly praising its detailed 3D graphics and controls well suited for touchscreens, simple to grasp but with additional depth through its card attack system.

And finally, Harry Slater on 148Apps provides an extensive retrospective on Rovio and their most well-known franchise Angry Birds, focusing on the factors that led to the company’ and series’ fall from the top of the charts, and where the two could be heading in the future. 

For those stories and many more, be sure to visit our fellow sites, and keep an eye for more weekly round-ups on upcoming Fridays.
