Mobile games publisher HandyGames has revealed a bunch of new titles due for release in the second half of this year.

They include Romans and Barbarians, which will let you take part in battles between, yes, Romans and Barbarians. We're thinking a strategy game. Meanwhile, AD 1066 will focus on the Norman invasion of England.

Little Firefighter sees you playing a little fireman chap, tasked with putting out blazes, while 4 In A Wheel is a casual puzzler.

There's also the intriguingly-named The Great Bible Game, plus a sequel to Dr. Kamasutra Sextrainer We wanted to lump those two together in a paragraph.

HandyGames is also planning to launch more WAP-based games in the next few months, including a version of the latter adult game.

Perhaps most exciting is World of Dice, a dice game that uses motion-sensing technology to make "the mobile phone the new virtual dice cup".

Overall, HandyGames says it'll have released 24 games by the end of this year, split equally between hardcore and casual titles.
