Hello everyone, and welcome to the week! It's time once again for our look back at the noteworthy updates of the last seven days. Well friends, I'm pretty sick today. I guess the word must have gotten out to the game developers, because this is a pretty light week. I've found a h … | Continue reading

The idea behind the TouchArcade Game of the Week is that every Friday afternoon we post the one game that came out this week that we think is worth giving a special nod to. Now, before anyone goes over-thinking this, it doesn't necessarily mean our Game of the Week pick is the hi … | Continue reading
Two years ago now we launched our Patreon and since then while support from our community has been encouraging, we're still only half way to our goal to get back to firing on all cylinders. As you've likely noticed, there haven't been any new names on the site since Brad Nicholso … | Continue reading
While we're primarily supported by a mixture of Patreon, Twitch subscriptions and Amazon referrals these days, site sponsors go a long way in making up for the funding shortfalls of our Patreon never reaching its goal. To show our appreciation, we are now publishing these posts t … | Continue reading
The developer behind Hero Generations is working on a single-player card game called Brave Hand, and starting today you can check it out for yourself in its Android Public Beta, or Early Access program as it's also called.

If you watch Conan O'Brien's show, you probably know his whole "Clueless Gamer" thing where he plays games he's really bad at (or acts as if he is).

What are the best tactical role-playing games for mobile devices? I see that question a lot and, inevitably, somebody mentions Warhammer Quest [$2.99] by Rodeo Games, and rightfully so. Warhammer Quest is without question one of the best turn-based combat games out there and one … | Continue reading
If the App Store was any indicator, I'd assume that Halloween is a pretty big deal. However, here in the UK, its very name is laced with contempt, and it seems everyone simply closes the curtains and turns off the lights in an attempt to hide from the world for one horrifying eve … | Continue reading
Since I've officially become an adult (at least in the eyes of the state, maybe less so in reality), I like to feel my wiser, calmer and immensely more cynical self keeps me grounded in the lead-up to big mobile game releases.

The late 80's and early 90's were times when the more gore and shock-value video games had, the better. One of my favorite games of this time was Total Carnage.

Guns Royale [Free] isn't shy about its inspiration; it wants to bring to mobile the same experience that Playerunknown's Battlegrounds brought to PC, but tailored to the mobile platform, and now that the game has launched worldwide, you can try it out for yourself.

Rick and Morty is a huge cultural phenomenon, especially recently with all the talk of the Szechuan sauce "incidents," but it's also the source of the great Pokemon-like mobile game Pocket Mortys [Free] that has continued to grow ever since its release in 2016. And now, we are ab … | Continue reading

While I think everyone was expecting the new Warhammer Quest game to be the one we were all waiting to appear last night, it'd seem Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander [$6.99] was the hotly anticipated game that was last to cross the finish line of this week's new releases. It hit the … | Continue reading

Many Minecraft [$6.99] players have been having some issues with the game after the big Better Together update (me included), primarily because post-update the game only allowed up to 6 or 8 chunks render distance. Just for comparison's sake, I usually have mine up to 14 chunks, … | Continue reading
The Monument Valley games have managed to break out of the gaming world and into mainstream conversations, partly because of Monument Valley's appearance in House of Cards but also because for many (including Apple), they stand for everything mobile gaming can be: beautiful, perf … | Continue reading

The app description for Campfire Cooking describes the game as being about the 'relaxing moments in nature'. However, don't let this claim and the game's cozy | Continue reading
Wednesday is easily one of the best days of the week, and not simply because it follows the dreary, soul-destroying humdrum that Monday and Tuesday inevitably bring.

Hothead Games, the developer of the pretty popular Kill Shot games, is bringing a different kind of game to mobile devices on November 16th called Mighty Battles.
