Pocket Gamer iPhone and iPad gaming podcast: Episode 231 - XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Where's My Mickey?, Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage

The recording of this week's podcast just so happened to coincide with regular panellist Keith's birthday.

After we've called him old and reminded him that he's only a few years away from THAT free bus pass, we take a look at the first game to emerge from Rovio's new Rovio Stars publishing wing. That game's name is Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage.

Next, we pore over a predictably blurry picture of what is allegedly Logitech's upcoming iPhone case controller, and discuss Robert Bowling's decision to remove IAPs from his upcoming strategy shooter Breach & Clear.

Naturally, XCOM: Enemy Unknown is at the top of our New Releases pile. We also discuss Mickey's return to the limelight in Where's My Mickey?, and cast an eye over Forever Lost: Episode 2 and Rivals of Catan.

Finally, I explain why you should buy XCOM: Enemy Unknown in spite of its relatively high price tag, and Peter gets all philosophical over Plague Inc.
