Battlestar Galactica mobile game guns for glory

But will it come to the UK?

Battlestar Galactica mobile game guns for glory

Battlestar Galactica? Isn't that the cheesy old space TV show that was never quite as good as Star Wars? Well, yes and no.

As discerning sci-fi fans will know, it's recently been revamped as a slick new TV drama, with proper plotline archs and everything. One thing it's not is cheesy.

And now it's got a spin-off mobile game, courtesy of Glu Mobile (well, its Superscape division, to be specific). It's a shoot-'em-up that sees you choosing from three types of Viper or Raptor ships, to lay waste to the nefarious Cylons.

Expect 24 missions to play through, plus training. The game is out in the US now, but it's currently unclear whether it'll come to the UK, since the series isn't quite as high-profile here (despite a deservedly loyal following).

We'll keep you posted, naturally.
