For those who enjoyed the 'endless runner' game, Temple Run, I highly recommend this game. It's free and the 'Pro' version may be unlocked as an IAP but from what I've seen so far this isn't necessary.

It's a better game than Temple Run, imho, with some very nice graphics. :D

Just bought two £15 vouchers for £11.25 each so saved £7.50

http://www.codesbyemail.co.uk/ - used them before, didnt realise they had a bigger sale on the week before but still worth getting a £15 or two from here.

Can anyone recommend a nice point and click adventure for Macbook or iPad? I'm thinking Syberia type.

Well its wednesday at 11am so that means theres new releases out in NZ, these will hit the UK at midnight tonight...

Loved the game 'Slingshot Racing' which was very original, this seems to be cashing on the success of that game with similar gameplay.

Pocket Heroes

Big retro look to this, multiplayer retro adventure, looks decent

Bounty Racer

Looks like it could be an 'okay' mario kart esque game perhaps ?

Hmmm so far pretty quiet, hopefully some more releases later

I hope it plays well, bit 'pricey' at $6.99 (whats that about £4.99) but thats nothing for this classic, roll on 12am now !

Might get an icade mobile which would work really well...

The Icade Jr (Similar to those other devices above) is a nice gimick but cant believe its easy to use to play games, does look cool though

Yep i'm looking forward to that one, roll on August

The new Batman game comes out friday, meant to be an open world, Spiderman the other week wasnt bad but i'm hoping this is going to be brilliant. I expect the filesize to be huge though ! Come on Apple, do some 128 gig machines ! in the old days most games were quite small or the 'large' ones were 400 meg, now you get plenty of 1.6 gig games.

I'd be interested to see if the Batman game is any good. I didn't think much to the recent Spidey game (couldn't get on with the controls, I felt the older Ultimate Spiderman was much better) but if its a good portable arkham city style Batman game I'd grab it :D
