Trilobyte is making another 7th Guest, this time targeting PC, Mac, Android, and iOS devices. The game, titled The 7th Guest: 3, will be ready in the next 12-18 months. The sequel promises a whole lot of fan service for devotees of the original, and will include some staff from the original games.
After a string of hit-or-miss ports on mobile devices, Sega may have found the perfect fit for its wily mascot on iOS devices. The company announced Sonic Dash today, an endless runner coming to iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad. No word was given on the possibility of an Android version.
Tetris has gained the status of video game royalty, and that more-or-less guarantees the puzzle mechanics will be iterated on and repackaged forever. EA's latest take on the puzzler, called Tetris Blitz, is a free-to-play game for Apple and Android smartphones adn tablets. It's due this spring.
The first Temple Run was a breakout success, earning 170 million downloads in total so far. But it had to build word-of-mouth slowly, and took more than a year arriving at that number. Its sequel, bolstered by brand recognition, is off to a much quicker start.
Angry Birds Rio, the Angry Birds tie-in game to the movie that was kind-of-but-not-really about flinging poultry, is free for a limited time. Rovio has made the game Apple's free App of the Week on iOS devices, just in case you haven't gotten enough Angry Birds from the various other releases.
Temple Run is getting a sequel on the iOS App Store. The original hit 100 million in August, and has just continued to pick up steam, now topping 170 million. The appropriately named Temple Run 2 will start testing its own mettle tomorrow.
In Spoiler-Talk, we take a no-holds-barred look at some of the biggest games and discuss what the future holds for these franchises. Expect many, many spoilers.
The Walking Dead was one of this year's most talked-about games. Speaking from personal experience, I spent hours meticulously discussing my decisions with a good friend. While we both prioritized protecting the precocious Clementine, the ethical twists and turns to that end left us divided on issues in the best of ways. The water cooler conversation became one of my favorite parts of the Walking Dead experience, and I know I'm not alone. So let's review some of those tough choices, and what it might mean for the next season.
Puzzle-RPG hybrid Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes is coming to iOS devices this month, for much cheaper than it appeared on other platforms. The HD version of the game that was ported to PC and consoles in 2011 will pretty up your Retina display on January 24 for $4.99.
The Walking Dead has been one of this year's surprise critical hits, reviving the adventure genre and the zombie trope that both seemed stuck in a rut. It's put a spring in Telltale's step with strong sales, too, after the Jurassic Park game was roundly panned. So just how much has Telltale's zombie-adventure game sold?
After a slight delay, Joe Danger Touch is ready to hit this month. The game was built from the ground up for iOS with new stages and characters, and developer Hello Games is keen to point out that it's not just a port of the PSN and XBLA games.
Lego has become synonymous with cute, kid-friendly video game versions of licensed properties in recent years, but the Lego company itself still creates original concepts for block-building sets on a regular basis. This year Lego is introducing "Legends of Chima" sets, and Warner Bros Interactive is giving it a push with not one but three video games.
The holiday season tends to mean large quantities of food at family gatherings. But if you've been banned from the kitchen by your real mother, you can at least cook some sumptuous dishes with a fake one. Cooking Mama Seasons has gone free-to-play on iOS, letting you sample some of the recipes for free.
Final Fantasy 4 has already landed on what seems like every other platform that exists, so Square Enix finally decided it was high time to port it to the one device you already have on you all the time anyway. The game has released on the iOS App Store for $15.99, and is mostly a port of the DS remake.
Deck-building card games are all the rage, and Penny Arcade has one of their own, through card game maker Cryptozoic. Penny Arcade The Game: Gamers vs Evil has players selecting a Hero card and using companions like "Merch" and "Laser Squid" to take down their opponents. If you're not up for the work (and $44.99 price tag) of the physical game, a digital version is hitting the iOS App Store tomorrow for $4.99.
Shadow Warrior, a classic FPS from 3D Realms, is coming to iOS tomorrow. The game was originally released in 1997, and was considered controversial due to its over-the-top violence and cheeky stereotypes.
"Still have my box, my discs, everything and will occasionally listen to the soundtrack. Just ..."
