The best silly sports mobile games to play with one hand
It's sunny, there's a slight bite to the air now summer's coming to an end, and we're half-way through the week. Why is that a big deal? Well, it's not really, but it can often feel like the day's going a little slower than usual. You know what would be a pretty good remedy to such a time? Silly sports games, of course. What? You've never played any silly sports games? You're probably not alone. Whatever mood you in, whatever kind of day you're having, these mobile titles take the idea of playing a sport and gives it a bit of a jiggle. Management sims offer up more of a logical, straight-forward challenge if you're a hardcore sports fan. But, for me I often think about the lighter side &nd…
Flip DivingThe best 5 mobile bullet hell games for iOS
You may think that diving into a bullet hell on Monday morning might not be the best idea. After all, you probably won't wake up properly until at LEAST Tuesday afternoon, but I'm not judging.

It's the end of another week and, thanks to a beautiful bank holiday Monday here in the UK, it probably feels a little shorter than normal. Well, I guess that's because it was shorter than normal… because we were all enjoying an extra day of R&R. Like last week, Friday's a great time to take a look back at the past few days and see what's been going on over at AppSpy's YouTube channel. Don't worry I won't waffle on too much. If you've been umm-ing and ahh-ing about whether to subscribe, I'd suggest doing so. James does have the voice of a gruff, grizzy angel after all.

The best first-person RPGs for mobile
Whether you're here just because you LOVE RPGs or fancy putting some time into some first-person mobile games before Elder Scrolls: Blades comes out later this week, you'll have an absolute ball with these. Or maybe you won't, I'm not your mother. Elder Scrolls: Blades has been an eagerly-awaited mobile game since its reveal at E3 earlier this year. Not only will it be free-to-play, but it's got a lot of the classic Skyrim charm and has a new and vastly interesting combat system. Better still, it looks like it'll be a breeze to play. That makes this list a bit harder since RPGs are rather subjective and I'm missing out on a couple of greats, I'm sure, but I think there's a lot to love here…

REACH classic is the new match-3 puzzler on the block
Match-3 puzzlers are in no short supply on mobile, but that didn’t stop REACH classic from standing out on the app stores during its soft launch in Canada.

The 5 best JRPGs that you can download for mobile
Updated 1st November 2021. Original post by Harry Slater, updated by Himanshu Cheeta Japan has made a very significant and notable impact on the RPG genre all around the globe. It is easier to look at how Japanese culture influences most RPGs' characters and gameplay now that anime and manga series are so popular and sought after by people. Your favourite game might very well be an RPG from the beginning; odds are it is also a Japanese RPG (JRPG). What does JRPG mean? Even though both Japanese JRPGs and Western WRPGs were very much influenced by pen-and-paper RPGs such as Dungeons and Dragons, the cultural differences between the developers resulted in vastly distinct games and gameplay e…
