OUT NOW – High Steaks! New From Future Fossil
Scientists. From the amiable if eccentric lab-coated boffins of British fame, to the megalomaniacal 'Fools! I'll show them. I'll show ALL of them! Mwah ha ha...!' Frankenstein-esque human centipede creators, they love meddling in things they ought not to. And if you're meddling with things you ought not to, then clearly, second only to building …

OUT NOW – Incandescence
Tippety tappety went the programmer, staring at the screen. The tealy-orangey wash of the monitor lit his face, like a well-considered light source in front of his serious face. If this was a cool Hollywood movie, the code on the screen would have been somehow projected onto his serious face. But it wasn't. It was reality. …

Shred It! is a brand new and original mobile game from Glasgow's EM Studios.

OUT NOW – Pug Rapids
If we've learned ONE THING from video games, it's that pug dogs are possibly the smartest creatures in this, or any other universe.
