Beat Sneak Bandit review

Simogo skilfully blends rhythm and stealth in the funkiest iOS game to date.

You won’t need to play Beat Sneak Bandit for long to realise its creators are every bit as nimble as their protagonist. Swedish duo Simon Flesser and Magnus Gardebäck have crafted a bright, angular comic-book world that distances itself from the pastel-hued melancholia of the pair’s earlier Bumpy Road with every bass squelch and synth stab. Both, however, are equally unfashionable.

Vita review

Sony’s handheld packs together some of the best features of portable consoles and smartphones.

Look at the specifications: Sony’s new handheld has game cards, memory cards and a digital store. It has two touchpads, thumbsticks, a gyroscope, an accelerometer, a microphone and cameras.

Irish game designer Owen Harris pumped his fists in the air as he bounded up to the stage to collect his prize – a brand-new Kindle Fire. If you didn’t know his name had been drawn at random as part of a giveaway concluding the first-annual Games Ireland Gathering, hosted at Dublin’s Gibson Hotel last Wednesday, you’d assume he’d just won an audience choice award. The cheering and applause from the crowd was that raucous.
