Quick bit of trivia: I owned two different versions of the Total Recall film tie-in game back in the 16-bit and 8-bit era.

Now, I can say I technically own three, for the official game of the Colin Farrell 2012 reboot has slipped quietly onto the App Store.

It's not, alas, another action-platformer in the vein of the Arnie versions of the game. Instead, Total Recall Game (to give it its full App Store title) sees you blasting enemies in a rail shooter.

You think this is the real Total Recall game? It is

There are a few nods to Time Crisis in this new Total Recall title, in that you can duck behind cover at points during the level and then pop out to pop baddies in the face, as well as pick up extra ammo magically floating around the level.

Talking of extra stuff, if you're averse to freemium mechanics, look away now, for while Total Recall is a paid release, there are a lot of IAPs peppered throughout this game (to unlock new weapons, for instance).

Total Recall Game is out now on the App Store for 69p / 99c, and you can nab it by hitting the button below.
