Stop reading this and go play Oceanhorn
Why are you still reading this? Did you miss the headline? *Sigh.* Ok, for those of you who insist on an explanation, here it is:Oceanhorn is a Zelda-inspired mobile adventure that has blown our collective socks off here at Gamezebo. It's now available to the public ($8.99 on iTunes), and while we've been playing it for a few days, we don't quite have a review ready yet to sell you on why this is an absolute must-buy.Is it because we're lazy? Normally I'd say yes, but with Oceanhorn, it's because the game is just that @#$%ing big. I'm four hours in, and the game tells me I'm only 17% complete. A lot of that could be sidequesting and bonus play, but even so, story-wise it feels like I'm only a third of the way through. For a mobile game, that's a lot. That's like the App Store gaming equivalent of War and Peace."We have a review in the works. It's coming. But I can't do it right now - because I'm too busy playing Oceanhorn. Want a spoiler? You should be too. Snag it here.
New iOS Games Tonight: Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas, King’s League: Odyssey and more!
Don't you just hate it when there are so many amazing new iOS games coming to the App Store all on the very same night that you can't possibly decide which one that you're going to play first? Sure, you can certainly download them all at the very same time, but you'll still be forced to choose one and only one to start with (unless of course you find some way to play three different iPads all at once, which in that case, the more power to you!).Well this always difficult decision couldn't apply more to tonight's amazing batch of brand new mobile games: from a magical adventure that rivals even Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda console games, to a highly-refined monster collecting RPG, to a mobile port of one of the most popular strategy Flash games that we've seen in recent years. There's no doubt that you'll want to be buying them all, but which one of these games will you be booting up first tonight? Be sure to let us know in the replies!
Replay Wednesdays: Might & Magic: Duel of Champions, Big Business Deluxe and more!
I've always been a big believer in the "short and sweet" mantra when it comes to taking anything in moderation. Who wants to watch a three-hour movie when they can watch a three-minute YouTube video instead? Who wants to read 80 pages of introductory content to this Replay Wednesday article when a slim three paragraphs will more than suffice?So in following this short and sweet fashion, this week's list may not have a lot to it, but everything it does have reeks of all sorts of awesomeness. This week brings a few new hidden object adventures for you to investigate on your iPhone and iPad, including Eternal Journey: New Atlantis and Dark Dimensions: Wax Beauty, and an epic strategy card game to engulf your PC in all sorts of might and magic (or mighty magic, if you prefer)."
The Blind Sights and Sounds of Papa Sangre II
We're big fans of innovation in mobile games here at Gamezebo, and Somethin' Else's Papa Sangre II not only made us use our smartphones and tablets in exciting new ways this past Halloween, but the game itself was unlike anything we've ever experienced before. A horror game that's told completely through the use of sound, Papa Sangre II has players putting on headphones, closing their eyes, and spinning around to face whatever sounds are lurking out there in the darkness. It is a truly fascinating thing to behold, and even more so when you try to imagine just how Somethin' Else went about creating this modern masterpiece in mobile gaming.I recently had a chance to interview Nicky Birch, the Head of Products at Somethin' Else, who served as the Executive Producer on Papa Sangre II, and also managed the internal marketing and promotion of the audio-only horror game. We discussed everything from the challenges of making a strictly audio video game, to working with actor Sean Bean, who provides the voice of the game's eerily haunting narrator. But as you might expect from a team whose game is shrouded in all kinds of darkness and mystery, not everything about Papa Sangre himself could be brought into the light over the course of this interview. After all, what fun would that be?"You can read the full interview with Birch just below this paragraph, and be sure to check out my 5-star review of the incredibly innovative Papa Sangre II right over here. And of course, I encourage everyone reading to give the game a spin for yourselves: that is, if you're not afraid of the unnerving scratches of the mindlice growing closer in the distance, or fleeing for your life (err, death) through the black recesses of your very own mind.
‘Video games will rot your brain’ and other lies
Video games have the ability to change a person's brain, but the myth is that it's for the worse. It has long been suggested that gaming negatively impacts our children. The press consistently focuses on the negative aspects of video games: the correlation with "rotting" the brain, encouraging aggressive behavior, promoting anti-social behavior and the list goes on. Must we always look at the downside of something we are not altogether familiar with?For countless reasons, parents and teachers are hesitant to use gaming technology in the classroom. As both a parent and veteran teacher of 14 years, I've had numerous discussions with colleagues who consider video games as simply "mindless" fun. But, those critics are unaware that the touchscreen taps, mouse clicks and joystick jiggles can help sharpen cognitive skills.Edu-gaming—a now-popular concept that integrates games with education—disputes the theory that video games will rot children's brains. A recent and compelling article by writer Nic Fleming discusses how educational games are proven to help people see better, learn more quickly, develop greater mental focus, become more spatially aware, estimate more accurately and multi-task more effectively.As the current lead for reading engagement innovation at Evanced Games (a company that designs influential educational mobile game apps for kids), I spend time each week playing edu-games with children in their school environments. This gives me firsthand experience with the benefits of video games. When played with a purpose, video games are important tools for helping kids take the skills they learn in school and build upon them further after the school day ends.

The Humble Store is currently featuring big deals on Don't Starve ($7.49), Rogue Legacy ($7.49), Gunpoint ($4.99), and more for the next five hours at the time of this writing.

Skee-Ball Arcade rolling onto mobile devices next week
Everybody loves Skee-Ball. It's all the fun of bowling combined with the thrill of pumping quarters into a metal slot. Scopely, the developers behind a little game you might remember called Mini Golf MatchUp, have recently announced that they'll be bringing the officially licensed Skee-Ball Arcade to the App Store and Google Play on November 20.This shouldn't be confused with ngmoco's Skee-Ball - which mysteriously disappeared from the App Store and was re-launched as Arcade Ball a few months ago. (methinks there was a licensing deal that ended to allow for this Scopely release - but let's file that purely under "speculation")That said, ngmoco's title was a chart-topper for a time, so we know that Skee-Ball is a formula that has plenty of potential on mobile devices. Few details have emerged, but if the trailer is anything to go by, you should expect a variety of wacky playing fields, power-ups, and the ability to "challenge your friends" - an element that Scopely excels at. Keep an eye out for this one when it hits next week.
Why Moscow Matters: Russia is an emerging market you should keep an eye on
When mobile game developers and other business-minded folks throw around the term "emerging markets," their thoughts almost immediately go to three places: China, Korea, and Japan. For Western developers, these are the markets with the clearest potential for growth - and they're the markets that no Western company has really managed to crack.But what if there was another untapped market eager for developer attention?This year's Live Mobile! European Mobile Congress is being held in Moscow this week (Nov 12 & 13, to be exact); the capital city of a nation that's ravenously eating up the best that mobile gaming has to offer. And as companies like Game Insight are quick to point out, it's home to some chart-topping mobile developers too.To highlight the potential of the Russian marketplace, Game Insight and J'Son & Partners have teamed up to provide this handy infographic - or as we like to call it, a cheat sheet on why you should really be considering translating your latest app into one more language:
