I have to give SEGA some credit. One of the many points where I felt that the initial line-up of SEGA Forever titles was lacking was in the selection; they were all games drawn from SEGA's 16-bit platform, and only two of the games were new to iOS gamers. Subsequent releases have … | Continue reading
Today is a happy day for many mobile gamers. Why?

There are clever game names and then there's Sir Vival - Do Something or Die!, which is pretty much next level when it comes to a perfect name for a game about survival.

What makes a good mobile esport game? That is a question that many developers (and investors) are dying to answer, but it's not an easy one to figure out.

A few weeks back, we wrote about HQ Live Trivia Show [Free], the game from the creators of Vine that has players answering live trivia questions twice a day for real money. I've been playing the game ever since, and I've been seeing the game grow day by day. A week and a bit ago, | Continue reading

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.

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
One of 2015's best games was HeatPot's Hero Emblems [$3.99], a match-3 RPG with strong gameplay mechanics, a fantastic cast of characters, and a charming story. Oh, and unlike most its siblings in the genre, this one was a totally paid, premium title. Even two and a half years ag … | Continue reading
My interest was piqued pretty hard as I was perusing the app store a couple weeks ago, only to see a puzzle game that involved exploring an alien ship and solving the puzzles of its technology and the fate of mankind after encountering them.

Football Manager Mobile 2018 [$8.99] is out today, so those who only have a phone or those who like a simpler, faster experience are probably already playing well into their first season.

Forever Lost [$2.99] was a pretty spooky adventure game set in the happiest place on earth, an abandoned asylum where nothing is what it seems.

Back in August of last year, Pretentious Game and Kill the Plumber developer Keybol announced a new mobile game project called Tower Fortress.

Take an entertaining story and fill it with charming characters, and you've got yourself a fun adventure game.

Here's a fun fact about me: The original Touchgrind [$4.99 / $7.99 (HD)] from Illusion Labs is the reason I bought my first iOS device. I'd wanted one since the original iPhone, but the price of the device itself coupled with the exorbitant fee I'd have to pay to switch carriers … | Continue reading
If someone told you that there's a mobile game with Stephen Curry, of the Golden State Warriors, on the App Store, you would probably expect to find a basketball game, but Chef Curry [Free] has nothing to do with that sport. Instead, the game relates more to Ayesha Curry's caree … | Continue reading

Originally launched back in May of 2016 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and had a really strange development cycle before then where it didn't really seem like Bethesda could decide if the 2016 Doom release was going to be a sequel titled Doom 4 or a reboot. In the end, it turned out … | Continue reading

I'm sorry, I couldn't write about an archery game and not mention the famous Skyrim line about taking an arrow to the knee, even though in Battle of Arrow you'll be aiming for heads more than knees.
