In the world of sequel tropes, the wild west is an oft-ignored setting. More often than not we see a leap to space, or a trip to Manhattan – neither of which possess the same level of romance as the gun-totin' west. Does this mean SQUIDS Wild West, the upcoming sequel to the highly popular SQUIDS, will be the most romantic squid-based game of all time? One can only hope.

You want to play a game with your friend, but it turns out he or she is not in possession of an iDevice. One reaction would be to call them a peasant. The other, to fire up Ring Fling – a local multiplayer game that requires but one iDevice.

Circus Atari was released for the Atari 2600 in 1981. A port of the mid-70s arcade game Circus, it offered nothing more than slight graphical improvements. Atari recently released a game on iOS under the same name, leading myself and others to assume it was a remake of some sort. It's not. It's a different game that's “based on” the original. Pretty weird, right?

I've yet to encounter a developer on the App Store who gets humor the way [adult swim] does. Their willingness to take crazy concepts and run with them – sometimes literally – is something I can't praise enough. Extinction Squad, arguably their most ridiculous game yet, finds the studio venturing even further down the proverbial rabbit hole. Is there no end to this (wonderful) madness?

Imagine that every bird that you’ve ever shot down in Shoot the Birds has returned as a zombie, and in their thirst for revenge, they are now devouring the earth . . . and its pumpkins. If you have successfully allowed your imagination to take a turn for the worse in following our strange example, you are now imagining precisely what is happening in the world of Infinite Dreams’ Shoot the Zombirds.

If there’s anyone you’d trust to make a great zombie game, it’s a pair of doctors involved in genome research. That’s who’s behind The Game Doctors – the indie mobile studio that brought the world Zombie Smash back in 2010. Now a part of the Zynga team, the doctors are following up their castle defense classic with something a little more slash-happy.

Skippy the Squirrel just can’t seem to play nice with the other animals. Or maybe the other animals don’t really play nice with him. Either way, it seems like his crazed affinity with electrocution has led him to yet another animal-frying adventure. First, it was Bird Zapper, and now, Namco Bandai brings us Bug Assault.

Regardless of your social standing or your yearly income, you probably have a pickle jar full of pennies, nickels, and quarters fermenting somewhere on top of a kitchen cabinet. You pass by that jar at least once a week, and you constantly promise yourself that you’re going to sort through it—except you never find the time, and you don’t relish the idea of having your fingers smell like copper, sweat, and disease. Your procrastination has gone on long enough. Now the spellcasters in Money Witches for iOS are going to take that sorting job into their own hands.

Welcome to the quick start guide for Bubble Safari, a new Facebook game from Zynga. In this arcade game you will find yourself aiming your bubble cannon at rows upon rows of colored bubbles in an attempt to clear the screen. Match colors and use special bonus bubbles to drop large sections of bubbles to score points and earn stars to unlock the next levels.

While we all know thievery is a crime, there's something in our culture that makes it alluring to watch. Perhaps it's the concept of getting away with it vicariously. Maybe it's the "do not enter" effect. You know, the fact that our parents told us not to back when we were kids. No matter the reason, Jake Escapes is counting on your fascination. The question is: does this one put the appeal of burgling into your hands, or make you want to steal your money back?
