The Room 2 to unlock for iPhone
The Room 2 is going to be available for download on iPhone from today, i.e the 30th of January. The first version of the game had come out on the iPad which was launched sometime in December and was priced at £2.99. And Android users will have to wait as a launch is scheduled “on or before 14th February”, said developer Fireproof Studios. The Room 2 is a sequel to the studio’s original The Room, which had won the Best British Game BAFTA at last year’s awards. “Crafting a sequel to a bite-sized surprise hit is never easy,” Dan Whitehead said. “Fireproof has taken a conservative approach that avoids those pitfalls, but it hasn’t abandoned ambition in the process. I doubt the structural integrity of The Room would survive another extensi...

Shenmue’s Ryo is being featured as a playable racer in Sega’s newly released Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed on mobile devices. The game can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store and Google Play for $4.99. This mobile version of the game features 10 playable racers, (and we heard more are on their way!), multiple control options optimized for mobile devices, and the same style of arcade racing which spices up things with dynamic tracks and transformable vehicles. According to various reviews, the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game has occasional techinical glitches, but was a good game to watch and play nevertheless. The Wii U version wasn’t so good though. “Ryo was the protagonist of Sega’s Shenmue games, which were supposed to be a flagship tri...

Cut the Rope 2 for iOS out now
The wait is finally over now as ZeptoLab has released the follow-up to its popular physics-based puzzler Cut the Rope on the App Store yesterday. The main aim of Cut the Rope 2 remains the same, as in players are still tasked with collecting candy for Om Nom, but the addition this time around is that Om Nom is joined by a bunch of that supporting characters called Toss, Boo and Blue.
