AppsApp of the day: Don't Steal My Banana review (iPhone)
There's a lot to be said for monkeys, particularly ones wearing shades. That's the prime reason that we downloaded Don't Steal My Banana, an app in which you need to hold a line of defence by lobbing fruits to fend off a variety of hungry mammals whom,...

AppsApp of the day: Ridiculous Fishing - A Tale of Redemption review (iPhone)
We know what you're thinking: Fishing as a computer game - how can that be good? Ridiculous Fishing really proves its name's point: it has guns, guts and, er, hairdryers. But it'll hook you in in no time - this is as classic a game app as they come. Ridiculous...

AppsApp of the day: G.o. Jump review (iPhone)
Games are like movie productions these days, so when a title such as G.o. Jump harks back to "the good ole days" and focuses on simple yet addicitive gameplay in a bold-coloured, single-screen environment it's a breath of fresh air. Inhale it, go on....

AppsHands-on: Twitter Music for iOS review
It came as no surprise when Twitter on Thursday launched Twitter Music, an app for iOS that helps users find what music their friends are listening to based on social recommendations. It’s an interesting concept by the folks at Twitter, who just released...

AppsApp of the day: Pilot's Path review (iPhone, iPad)
Exploratory helicopter games haven't really existed since Nuclear Strike finished the Strike series in 1997. Pilot's Path could be accused of being more of a nod to the yet-older Desert Strike game, albeit minus much of that title's "strike" action. If...

AppsApp of the day: Sprint Driver review (iPhone)
Take one bike, the open road and a bunch of hazardous trucks, lane-swerving police cars and, er, trails of collectable coins, pop it onto a gyro-controlled Apple device and - boom - we have Sprint Driver. The tilt-to-control mechanism game is not so much...

AppsApp of the day: Puzzle Retreat review (iPhone)
Puzzle Retreat may not have the most imaginative name in the world, but its variety of puzzles are brain-taxingly imaginative right from the off. If order and deductive logic are your thing, or you just want to train those brain cells and frustrate your...

AppsApp of the day: Weight Watchers review (iPad/iPhone)
A new year normally means a new start. Better person, better body, more organised. Well, for about five days until you realise that actually, doing nothing and eating the contents of your entire fridge is a far more satisfying experience than running...

GamingAPP OF THE DAY: Tic Stac Toe review (iPhone)
Some games are undeniable classics. Noughts and Crosses, Tic-Tac-Toe, Connect 4, Four in a Line - whatever you happen to call the line-em-up game - there's a smart little app called Tic Stac Toe which adds a third dimension to the game. As if a flat,...

GamingAPP OF THE DAY: Kings Can Fly review (iPhone)
Puzzle games float our boat or, as is more the case with Kings Can Fly, fly our red-ballooned airships. Ahem. Firedroid Games's three-dimensional puzzler is not only rather glorious to look at, but it will also get those brain cogs gloriously turning...

AppsAPP OF THE DAY: Mini Ninjas review (iPhone, iPad)
When Square Enix isn't making top AAA titles for the PS3 or Xbox 360, it seems it spends its time making fun little apps for the iPad and iPhone. But can the company that normally only does "epic", do lighthearted fun as well? Mini Ninjas Format iPhone...

GamingAPP OF THE DAY: Raiden Legacy review (iPhone)
If you're a fan of Nineties arcade action shoot 'em ups that were so tear-jerkingly difficult they'd make you spill as much profanity from the lips as bullets sprayed from the on-screen fighter, then Raiden Legacy poses incredibly good value for money....

AppsAPP OF THE DAY: Real Racing 3 review (iPhone and Android)
Real Racing 3 represents a significant leap in the world of smartphone gaming. Some apps, such as Horn and Modern Combat, all manage near console-like graphics but under closer scrutiny, give themselves away. Real Racing 3 is closer to an Xbox 360 game...

OnlineAPP OF THE DAY: Solarian Tactics review (iPhone)
Turn-based role playing games aren't particularly commonplace on mobile devices - at least there haven't been that many releases in the genre of late. If you're after a move-by-move title to play on the go then Solarian Tactics's quirky mix of bobble-headed...
