The Monday Musing - What AR gaming needs to do to succeed
Well, last week was all about the AR wasn't it? AR this and AR that and the new iPhone is expensive but it does AR things so that's cool. Is AR the future of gaming? I don't know. I'll be honest, I'm not really sure it's the present of gaming yet. So in this week's Monday Musing I'm going to have a muse about what AR games need to do in order to to become an important force in mobile gaming. I've got some hints, I've got some tips, and I've got a whole shed full of mad ideas. If you've got any ideas that you think might help, feel free to chuck them into the comments section at the bottom of the article. I'm pretty sure that, together, we can make AR gaming incredible.

CompetitionThe Tuesday best of - Games like Deus Ex GO
Sometimes here at AppSpy we like to be controversial. I know, I know, I'm surprised too. I thought we just said the nice things that the nice people wanted to hear. But no, we like to stick our oar in, wiggle it around, and see how long this metaphor can be stretched out for. Anyway, in our regular piece of Tuesday content this week, I've decided to throw up the three best GO games that aren't actually GO games. So they're like, GO-style games. Or something like that.

The Tuesday best of - Games like Metroid: Samus Returns for iPhone and iPad
There's a new Metroid game out on 3DS. Well, there sort of is. It's a remake of Metroid 2, I think, but with some extra bells and whistles tossed in for fun. Whatever it is, it's called Metroid: Samus Returns, and it's never going to come out for iPhone. But that doesn't mean you have to miss out on all that lovely metroidvania action, because there are plenty of games out there on the App Store that fit into the genre. And a good deal of them play around with the formula in some interesting ways. So since it's Tuesday, I thought I'd tell you about three that you should play.

The Monday Musing - Everything you need to know about the new iPhone announcement
It's that time of the year again. A new iPhone is coming out. Or like three new iPhones. Maybe a hundred? I don't know for sure, because Apple hasn't actually announced anything yet. And it likes to play its cards reasonably close to its chest. Still, what's the internet for if not wild speculation? Facts? Hah. I laugh in the face of your facts. Or I would do if there were any. Everything's made up nowadays anyway, or so I'm lead to believe. Plus it's Monday, so it's time for a muse. Here's some stuff we think we know about what Apple is going to be announcing later this week. Some of it might be true, some of it might not be true. Right now it's Schroedinger's true, and we won't know what…
