If you've been playing Hearthstone [Free] for some time now, then you probably have a few copies of the Classic cards Blizzard nerfed just prior to Whispers of the Old Gods and Standard hitting.

With 'The Angry Birds Movie' right around the corner I have a feeling we'll be in for an Angry Birds-palooza of new games and merchandise to hype the release of their big screen debut. It's not even been two weeks since Rovio did the worldwide launch of the pinball-esque Angry Bi … | Continue reading
We've been eager to hear more about Card Thief, the pseudo-spinoff/follow-up/sequel to last year's sublime Card Crawl [$2.99] from Tinytouchtales, since its original announcement in early February. The basic gist of Card Thief is that it's a similar solitaire style game to Card C … | Continue reading
Quirky media can often be a breath of fresh air. Whereas dramas and grimdark settings usually go over well with just about anyone, weird comedies like Arrested Development can break the mold and have us enjoy something we never even knew we wanted. But quirk alone isn't enough to … | Continue reading
With a couple of weeks under its belt, Hearthstone's [Free] Whispers of the Old Gods is already showing the world how it came to change the game for the better, and the consensus is that it has succeeded so far.

We kick off the show this week by talking about our weekends last week: Jared didn't get eaten by bears while camping, and I managed to not get soaked to the bone at Dark Lord Day. From there, we switch gears to talking a bit about the HTC Vive VR headset and wondering what type | Continue reading

The business of running a web site is tri … | 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
There are a few ways you can look at INKS. [$1.99], the latest release from Lumino City [$4.99] developer State Of Play. On the one hand, it's a beautiful piece of interactive art, allowing each player to uniquely paint a design based on how they play. On the other hand, it's pro … | Continue reading
In an era where kids can fire up a game like Real Racing 3 [Free] for free on a mobile device, I can't imagine slot car racing sets are as ubiquitous as they were when I was a kid. Just about everyone seemed to own one back then, whether they were interested in cars or | Continue reading
The '80s was the best decade to be alive, and all you Millennials with your Snapchats and your Drake memes can just get off my lawn! Ok, so maybe the actual '80s weren't all that great, but all the stuff we use to remember the '80s is the best. Big hair. Neon everything. Leg warm … | Continue reading
I've been waiting for Prison Architect to come to the iPad ever since it released on PC back in October, but I still haven't heard anything from all those prisoners. Introversion Software had repeatedly stated its intent to bring the game over to tablets, but it had been awhile s … | Continue reading
Remember when Activision Blizzard acquired King for the measly amount of $5.9 billion?

It's not uncommon for Rockstar Games to put their Grand Theft Auto iOS ports on sale, but it's not as common to see the entire library of them all on sale at the same time. That's what we're experiencing right now, in what I'm dubbing "The Great Rockstar Games Grand Theft Auto (a … | Continue reading
I think it's safe to say we are not lacking in Pokemon-like games on mobile, and we've even got some actual official Pokemon stuff both released and currently in the works. That isn't stopping DeNA from taking a stab at the genre though with their new monster-collecting-and-battl … | Continue reading
After a loooonnng soft-launch, Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Identity [$4.99] finally launched world wide just over two months ago.

Hearthstone's [Free] rule consistency - or lack thereof - has been an ongoing source of frustration for Hearthstone players, and the recent issues with card interactions post-Whispers of the Old Gods certainly haven't helped the situation. Fortunately, many of those issues were, … | Continue reading
I can't decide if I'm happy or sad that we've gotten enough EXE-Create RPGs from Kemco this year that I'm getting a bit weary of them. The developer behind the Alphadia, Across Age, and Asdivine series, as well as numerous other one-off RPGs, EXE-Create generally creates the best … | Continue reading
Dungeon crawlers are in my blood. One of the first games I ever played for the NES was Dragon Warrior, also known as the first Dragon Quest.

I feel like it's been too long since Nitrome released a game. I mean, they've been pumping out the Rust Bucket [Free] updates and I love them for it, but it's been a while since they released a brand new title. The good news is that you won't have to wait much longer, as Leap | Continue reading
Blue Wizard Digital has announced their debut title Slayaway Camp, a game with a familiar look but an interesting concept.

No Code's Super Arc Light [$0.99] has just gotten a big update that provides some major tweaks to the game. The big obvious one is the new easy mode.
