The Room is a clever puzzle game with an unmistakably gloomy atmosphere and amazing 3D graphics. Each solved puzzle opens more unanswered questions drawing you further deeper into the game. The attention to detail is stunning - you do have to turn the key and spin the dial to make it all work. The game definitely deserves a special mention for maintaining its gothic atmosphere throughout.

You’ve probably already heard about it - Rayman Jungle Run has arrived on both Android and iOS and it is the prettiest platformer we’ve seen on a mobile platform yet. It is not a port of the Rayman game (and we’ve seen those before), and this means the whole world and controls fit smartphones and tablets easily.
