With such a massive release in Angry Birds 2 dropping, you might have missed Operation Dracula coming out, and that's a shame, because it's probably the best thing on mobile this week. A hardcore shmup with intensely nostalgic visual and audio design, it's well worth checking out.

How we spent our weekend

Rob: Zoo.

Mark: Inconsolable weeping. Also: zoo.

Glen: Playing Pikmin 3 while questioning if it's an accurate representation of how humanity treats animals. Or maybe itself. I'll probably get some fresh air at some point too.

Harry: I'm playing a festival on Saturday and then going to see two of my favourite bands in Manchester on Sunday.

Danny: I have decided I identify as a robot, so I'll be doing robo-things. Fix the toaster and that.

Peter: Enjoying a relaxing weekend of reading and relaxation before the carnage and terror of Gamescom.
