Whether you're crawing around under a cardbox box in Metal Gear Solid, or straddling a hallway while an unsuspecting guard strolls beneath your crotch in Splinter Cell, there's nothing quite like a good stealth game.
Counterspy is a cartoon love letter to espionage thrillers and cold war unease. This side-scrolling roguelike casts you as a secret agent trying to infiltrate a military base and prevent the imminent launch of a Soviet nuke.
As Pocket Gamer's Giles Armstrong found, the iOS port does a great job of recreating the PSN hit on a touchscreen device. If you want to find out why, just watch the video above.
