There doesn’t seem to be any limit to the appetite for good live multiplayer games, and any of them that arrive with an established name figure to have a leg up on the competition. With seasons, guilds and other standard features built in, Titanfall: Assault is definitely positioned to support an enthusiastic community. Will one form? Waiting to find out is probably going to carry some of the same anticipation you get while waiting for those Titans to drop.

Despite the lack of direction and precise controls, we enjoyed our time on Vulture Island. Each individual level, from the gorilla-guarded jungle to the seagull-infested pier, is a charming slice of an oddly cohesive whole thanks to the shared collection of puzzles and items scattered around the world.

I say this with no irony: Heads Up! Hot Dogs is one of the best arguments for smartphone/tablet gaming I've seen yet.

Overall, this game is a gem and a steal for being available in the App Store for free. If you're a fan of simulation games, Hay Day is visually pleasing and will definitely keep your inner agriculturalist giddy for hours.

Despite these issues, Skylanders Lost Islands is not a game that feels incomplete. If you know a youngster who's a fan of Skylanders, or if you're a fan yourself, take a second to introduce your plastic pals to the Mabu's island home.

Little touches, like different dialogues from NPCs depending on who you have selected as your active character, bring the world to life and reward players who explore in depth. The amount of game here—easily six hours plus—is massive for an app that is 100% free without ads or in-app purchases, with each of those hours lovingly crafted by a team that obviously cares about all of its source material. This is a gift to fans of Stranger Things or NES/SNES-era adventures with no strings attached, except the time you’ll inevitably lose once you’re sucked into its world.

While MU Origin 2 doesn’t bring anything substantially new to the franchise, and hardened RPG players are liable to baulk at the degree to which you can play the game on autopilot, it’s a slick, streamlined, good-looking, and comprehensive addition to the mobile RPG genre. Grab it now for free on Google Play or the App Store.

The game is clearly designed for little kids who have a budding interest in what goes on in the kitchen, and for that audience, it’s pretty much ideal.

There’s nothing especially revolutionary about the way CastleStorm plays, but once you experience the hectic switching back and forth during a full-scale siege, you’ll understand that its formula works.

If you can look past the visuals though, and are looking to take a break from Hearthstone, Mabinogi Duel is the game for you.

Without the dense rules and minute details that these sorts of strategy games usually employ, Super Tribes leaves the door open for players new to the genre to come in and see what the game is all about, hopefully leaving as a fan.

As a puzzler, Framed is a sought-after package: a special brand of visual problem solving. A sleuthy escape depends on its panel-switching mechanic, which feels like second nature.

If the number one goal of gaming is to have a good time, then this is a great way to do just that.

Penumbear is a great example of how platforming controls can be done right on iOS - and it's a lovely little puzzler to boot.

A perfectly serviceable adventure that doesn't try too many new concepts, but executes familiar ones excellently, and it should be added to any platforming fan's collection.

Numsol is one of those perfect mobile puzzlers that scratches your head-scratching itches in all of the right ways. It’s not going to change the way you think about the world or anything like that, but it’ll keep you pleasantly entertained for a good long while.

The result is simply that Splot is best experienced in short bursts of a few stages at a time, ideal for on-the-go mobile gaming but less fit for binge-playing.

Camouflaj definitely delivered on its promise of the longest chapter so far, though some of it is like busy work in the sense that it makes you anxious to get through it just to see what twists the story is going to take.

Overall, Garfield Kart is good fun.

If you’re strongly attached to another racing game, switching to GT Racing 2: The Real Car Experience will be a hard sell, despite its lack of price tag.

Despite tripping on its own IAP system, Life is Magic is a surprisingly captivating game. Great in small, frequent doses, it's the perfect pick-up-and-play title when you want a little RPG action without all the fuss.

Despite its crusty patches, World Zombination is a fun take on the apocalypse. Defend humanity or run it down. It’s up to you.

Real Racing 3’s good handily outweighs its bad. There’s plenty of variety in race types, more vehicles than you can shake a stick at, and even if it’s not ideal, old school racing fans can still have plenty of fun with the assists on.

Crash Drive 3 is a rich, chaotic experience that urges you to push things a bit further. Try that backflip, go and climb that hill, explore and play and have a lovely time while you’re doing it. It’s got a few niggles, for sure, but they’re not enough to put you off coming back for more.

While not perfect, the game offers a lot to get excited about. Excellent visuals and voice work, and a wonderfully fun story to play through make City of Secrets well worth your time.

The first fifty word puzzles are free, and you can purchase hundreds more for a low fee. More free puzzles are coming in August, so if you decide to hold on to your cash, you can be assured that an update is on the way. You can't lose-unless you neglect to remember that a goblin is actually a malevolent spirit and not a pony-gobbling under-dweller.

If you don’t want to listen to Eminem’s music on repeat, you’re not going to enjoy this game. I promise you’ll be hearing the same song a lot during the “cheap death” phase of the learning curve. However, if you’re a big fan, or even just enjoy Eminem’s music, this is worth the download.

Simple objectives, challenging platforming, and an adorable art style make Cordy 2 a worthy addition to your library. It's got a robust set of in-app purchases for those looking to take their game further, and plenty of heart to carry it along. Put this little robot in your pocket and check out the first game while you're at it.
