10 articles you must read this week
Every week, Pocket Gamer provides a weekly digest of the most important and popular stories from these digital pages.
1. We debuted our rad new mobile gaming news round-up show The Wrapp, with our pals at AppSpy. Want to find out about the Apple Watch, Tales from the Borderlands, and Five Nights at Freddy's 3 in less than three minutes? Press play.
2. Speaking of the Apple Watch, we finally got to hear how much one of those things will cost and when you can buy it. But because we're gamers, we wanted to know what you can play on the snazzy wrist watch. Here's a complete(ish) list of wearable games.
3. We picked peace-seeking strategy epic Sid Meier's Starships as our top iOS game of the week, to reflect the Gold Award review. Only have an iPhone? We recommend Card Crawl. And rocking an Android? Try Table Tennis Touch.
4. We're back from GDC, and we've still got a lot to talk about. Like a hands-on with Mortal Kombat X, a round-up of Noodlecake's new games, news about more Oddworld coming to mobile, and some footage of Aralon 2.
