Hitman: Sniper iPad Review
Hitman: GO managed to distill the sneaky essence of the Hitman series into an easy to grasp mobile format. Can Hitman: Sniper do that same? Er, nearly. Or at least that's what Harry from Pocket Gamer thinks anyway.…

Anomaly Defenders Review
The Anomaly series made a name for itself by reversing the standard tower defence formula, and putting you in charge of the advancing force you usually find yourself repelling.

Yes, it's filled with randomised dungeons and chance encounters and lots and lots of death. But there's a clever team dynamic at play that elevates it beyond the average swipe-powered puzzle adv…
