I’m not one to get into mobile gaming but every few months something comes along and enough friends and peers tweet about it that I feel compelled to join them, if only for a day. Crossy Road, a sort of isometric, voxel-y, infinite take onFrogger, is the latest title to join my iPhone library due to peer pressure.

Hello, Alucard This trailer forCastlevania: Lords of Shadow 2highlights story over gameplay footage and while I normally prefer for the opposite to be true, I’m fine with it here. If you’ve become invested in this trilogy, you may agree. Curious to see how the arc closes out. Konami has also announced pre-order bonuses for the title in the United States.
