Pac-Man 256 headed iOS's way

A new version of Pac-Man to celebrate the game's 35th birthday will arrive in summer, playing on the game's legendary bug, with a host of new features and updates to bring the pizza-shaped hero to a new audience.

Star Drift brings classic shooter action to iOS

Another indie team formed from the ashes of UK dev legends Rare is out there doing it for themselves. Squarehead's first effort is now live on the app store with the impressive retro-modern Star Drift. Levels are procedurally generated to keep things fresh with a David Wise soundtrack.

It brings to mind Flow, Gravity Crash and a few others in this quick peek. There's a unique upgrade system to help you along, with various powers, upgrades and some virus-laden tokens to avoid. Star Drift is only a 70Mb download for iOS 7 devices. It is optimised for iPhone 5 and up. The game is just 79p on the store during its launch window.
