The #PGCSanFran video wrap up - AppSpy's Sunday Service

It's AppSpy's Sunday Service, your weekly round up of all the biggest mobile gaming news that's fit to make a video about. This week was the aftermath of Pocket Gamer Connects in San Francisco, and the huge new games we saw there.

The Big Stories 1. Zombie Match Defense quite rightly won our Very Big Indie Pitch.

So much fantastic stuff came out this week that narrowing it down to a single game seems a bit unfair. We could have easily gone with Warhammer 40,000: Deathwatch - Tyranid Invasion as our recommended game this week, but instead we chose the dark and disturbing This War of Mine, for its unflinching portrayal of the realities of war.

How we spent our weekend

Harry: I'm going to try and not fall over on a nightclub dance floor, and then I'm going to sit in a park and count butterflies.

Mark: What I do every weekend: be a rad dude

Peter: I will be pretending to be Batman in Arkham Knight, and trying the new Origins set for Magic: The Gathering.

Glen: Scouring Bristol for a new pad, hooking up my new Shield to my TV, and taking my infirm brother for dinner.

James: I will be getting the taser because Peter has gone full-Gollum and needs to be zapped back to reality. Then probably Batman or something. I dunno.

Danny: I'm going to go for a walk into town and hide away from this fine summer weather by catching some films. Maybe sort out some of my junk, but most likely not.
