Are you afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? I sure hope not, because then you wouldn't have the chance to enjoy the latest gripping adventure series from Telltale Games! And as luck would have it, Telltale also just so happened to announce today that the recently released first episode of The Wolf Among Us titled "Faith" will be headed to iOS devices later on tonight.In case you somehow might have missed the PC version, or haven't been up to date on your Gamezebo readings lately (tsk, tsk), The Wolf Among Us is Telltale's latest adventure game series, and based on Bill Willingham's whimsical comic book series Fables. In the game, players take control of detective Bigby Wolf, as they solve various crimes in a warped and gritty representation of classic fairytale characters in a downtrodden New York City."The first episode of The Wolf Among Us should be popping up on the App Store sometime later tonight, and it can be yours for only $4.99. But if you feel like planning ahead and want to save big, then you'll also have the option to buy the full season multi-pack for $14.99, which grants you access to episodes 2 through 5 once they are respectively released.

November has always traditionally been one of the greatest months to be a gamer: after all, that's usually when all of the big-name developers decide to release their most highly-anticipated projects of the year, just in time for the holidays. But now it looks like the same could also be said for the mobile games industry as well, as this past November gave us so many amazing new releases that we had an unbelievably difficult time trying to narrow them all down for this list!So here's a quick rundown of the incredible new gaming experiences that kept us busy all throughout November: an exhilarating platform-runner that took us through all sorts of hot and cold places where the ground is made of food; a strategic look at the afterlife for shoguns, where things are actually a bit more crowded than one might initially believe; and of course, a monstrous adventure across the colorful seas that could even give The Legend of Zelda a run for its money."For a more detailed account of all the games we thought were among November's best this year, just keep on scrolling down this page. And don't forget to let us know what you think of our picks in the replies below, or if you have some other great November games in mind that you think should have been included. I guess the only thing left to say now is this: Bring it on, December!
Do you guys like new screenshots? Who am I kidding, of course you do! Well today we just so happen to have a fresh batch of them from Gameloft's upcoming World War II shooter, Brothers in Arms 3, and let me tell you something right now: they look unbelievably realistic and sharp, especially for a mobile game at that!Set within a variety of indoor and outdoor environments against a WWII backdrop, Brothers in Arms 3 will feature slick tactical shooting gameplay with a big emphasis on changing weather conditions. From desolate streets and burning palace interiors, to a once-idyllic forest that's now crawling with tanks and bunkers, the new screenshots seem to perfectly capture that uneasy balance between the beauty of nature and the horrors of war."First announced over the summer, Gameloft's Brothers in Arms 3 is currently slated for a release sometime in early 2014, but you can take a gander at the brand new screenshots right now by scrolling down on this page.
Inspiration is just as likely to come from unlikely sources as it is from the most obvious places. In the case of Touch & Learn, a British studio devoted to creating educational games and apps, it relies on a little of both.The surprising part of the equation starts with the Touch & Learn's founder and CEO, James Lewis. With experience as a Hollywood art director responsible for the look of work as wide-ranging as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Band of Brothers, he's not the first person who'd come to mind as a creator of kids' apps.Yet his motivation is both simple and easy to understand: he's got kids of his own, and he watched how easily they were enthralled by mobile devices."I'm a bit of a tech geek, and I got the original iPhone," Lewis said to Gamezebo. "Once I got over the fact that I didn't want to damage it and it wasn't so precious, I let my daughter, who was 18 months old at the time, just interact with it. It blew me away how intuitive the phone was. And then we got the first iPad and it was the same thing.
If that headline is lost on you, I feel sad for two very good reasons. One: you're out of the loop on one of my favorite memes of all time, courtesy of Kaz Hirai's 2006 enthusiasm (that nobody else shared) about Ridge Racer going mobile on the PSP. Two: There might even be a chance that you're completely unaware that Ridge Racer is a thing, and since it's really going mobile soon, that makes me one sad panda.Namco Bandai has just revealed that the next game in the series will be Ridge Racer Slipstream, a mobile racer for iPhone, iPad and Android. The game will feature 12 vehicles, 300 customization options, and 20 tracks.Get ready to download this one on December 19, aka the last day before the iTunes Connect shutdown freezes the new games section of the App Store solid for a week's holiday.
Life for a tadpole may not always be easy, but as Tasty Tadpoles taught us earlier this year, it sure can be fun! In the game, players take control of a young tadpole named Taddy, as they tap on the screen to guide him through a pond filled with all sorts of obstacles like logs and electric eels. Well as if all of those hazards weren't enough to make the bravest of tadpoles shiver in the water, we've now gotten word that toxic ponds are going to be added into the mix in a new free update that's coming this week.Toxic waste has been leaking into Taddy's home, and he'll soon have to fend off mutant 3-eyed tadpoles and exploding toxic waste barrels. All in all, the Toxic Pond update to Tasty Tadpoles is said to bring 25 new levels into the mix, and for you completionist gamers out there like myself, 2 new trophies to earn and 4 new challenges to conquer.We had a real blast here at Gamezebo with Tasty Tadpoles the first time around, and so any more of that bright and arcade-style goodness is A-OK in my book!
