Physics puzzlers are one of the most recent, and smartphones have become a serious hotbed for them. Jumpster, by developer Vogat, is an upcoming entry in the subgenre, and it's arriving with the promise of head-scratching fun.

    Ubisoft bringing Wii U titles to tablets, smartphones

    By

    It's easy to take it for granted, but this is one of the most exciting times in the game industry. Case in point, the announcement that Ubisoft will be porting Wii U titles to smartphones and tablets. It's true that companies have been porting console games to mobile platforms for years now, but this particular reveal is interesting in light of the current gaming climate. There's big money in the mobile market, and Ubisoft is using that to leverage the costs of developing for consoles.

    Duck and Cover: SimCity is coming to Facebook, and the shockwave is going to be huge. SimCity Social, a venture between EA studios Maxis and Playfish, offers a realistic city-building experience that's atypical of traditional Facebook-based building games. EA isn't shy about setting SimCity Social apart from Zynga's fare, either, having chosen the tagline "More City, Less Ville" for the game.

    LEGO The Lord of the Rings Preview

    Previous LEGO games, like LEGO Batman and LEGO Star Wars, have been surprisingly good, but the upcoming LEGO Lord of the Rings looks like it might just be the one game to rule them all. We haven't seen much of it yet, but the screenshots and preview trailer look brilliant, with minifig representations of the entire Fellowship ("minifigs" is the official name of the famous little LEGO guys, by the way) and a big, blocky, not-at-all-mini version of the Balrog that caused so much trouble for the group on their way through Moria.

    Temple Run: Brave Preview

    By

    The folks at Imangi Studios have had a lot of time to think about their next move. After all, with a game like Temple Run under your belt, you can afford to take the time to carefully consider what you're going to do next. And while they've turned down other licensing deals before (read more about that in our interview), when Disney came calling, they did so with a property that Imangi would have been crazy to say no to: Pixar's upcoming animated blockbuster Brave.
