With Sony at the helm, I have to believe that there are resources that could be employed if they were so inclined. I'm not sure I have the secret formula to make a successful multi-platform game but CounterSpy is currently missing some key ingredients.

If you've ever been stuck in traffic and wished you could go through the cars ahead of you instead of waiting for things to clear up, do me a favor and pick up Battle Riders instead, you psycho. It's a much healthier and far more enjoyable way to work those anger issues out.

More often, though, all that planning and calculation serves to figure which hero is most disposable, who can most efficiently be left behind, that his comrades may survive The Nightmare Collective meat grinder just a bit longer.

It's a bit weird for a game that had a soft launch of a decent length to enter wide release with issues like this. If you plan on playing it now, be careful about spending any premium currency. Between crashes and money-eating bugs, it's too likely you'll lose it. Once it's fixed, I think people who have enjoyed King's other games will be quite satisfied with Diamond Digger Saga, even if it's less diamond than cubic zirconium.

But if this is the last Mikey game, BeaverTap has gone out with a bang with Mikey Boots. This is yet another speedrunning masterpiece that everyone ought to own. BeaverTap are absolute masters of their craft. They know how to make speedrun games that feel perfect on mobile, and Mikey Boots is just further proof of that. Buy this game.

Bioshock for iOS isn’t perfect, and I can understand the hesitance from those that may have already played it before. But for newcomers, it’s still an experience that needs to be taken.

I would love more from Epic Eric, both in terms of content and exploration of its concept, but hey, this can be quite the swinging romp.

If endless games are your thing, you'll definitely want to check out ALONE. It's probably a bit too spartan to click with everyone, but there's a lot of joy to be found in experiencing its clean design and mastering its unique handling.

It currently stands as an enjoyable journey through impossible reality worlds inspired by some of the most popular surrealists. The lines are blurred between art and game. If you feel like being caught between worlds, this is the game to take the trip with.

The average player with no connection to the license who only goes for the occasional table can probably find more interesting choices, however, and veteran pinball players are likely to find it just a bit too simple to solve to be truly satisfied.
