Pocket Gamer and Friends

We did it, folks. We made it to the end of another week, and something only briefly caught fire at the office. Granted it was "the entire building" and now there's "criminal charges" being placed on me, but these things happen, y'know?

All sleep-deprived jokes aside, it's time for us to once again shine a light of the work of people who aren't us but are owned by the same company, and are therefore just as good as us.

So get the boys in, crack open a cold one, and take a look at what's been going on around the Steel Media family this week.

148Apps

Did you know there's far more than 148 apps on the market? There's at least, like, 149 now. It's mad, really.

Our fine friends at 148Apps are powering on ahead regardless, with a lovely little article about the best doggos in mobile games being our pick of the week.

That's mostly because Hot Date is on that list, and if you've not played Hot Date then you're doing yourself a disservice. Yes, you. Don't look behind you.

Not convinced? Then here's five games that are a bit like The Room which you can play on your iPhone. I bet there's a surprise on that list for you! (I'm surprised one of the entries wasn't The Room 2, for a start.)

AppSpy

AppSpy is still going strong, and with our News Master Emily now heading up the bulk of content over there, things are getting better and better. Emily's great.

Here's proof of her greatness: a list of the five best detective games available on mobile. Think it's just Her Story? I mean, it's on the list, but there's way more where that came from, hotshot.

And how about the best premium room escape games on mobile for good measure, because I'm doing my first escape room tonight and I'm bricking it because I'm genuinely quite dumb. And can't handle pressure. Why am I in charge again?

(Major Her Story spoilers for the video below, by the way.)

PocketGamer.biz

It's not all fun and games in the world of mobile games. Well, there are games. Look, I didn't think this through very well.

What I'm trying to say is, sometimes we need to look at the cold, hard facts. And that's what our sister site PocketGamer.biz does. They love facts and figures.

This week superstar staff writer Iain took a gander at the Switch's Online services, and honestly found the whole thing quite lacking. Aside from the NES games, which are actually kind of great.

If you're looking for something a little more interview-y, how about this interview with Tencent on how it's looking to grow Arena of Valor in the West? Go on, you know you want to.
