Eternity Warriors 4 represents the newest in this series of fantasy RPG’s from popular developer Glu. It involves players in a classical fairy-tale with the player having option to play as an assassin, a mage, or a warrior while travelling across its fantasy world in a quest to complete goals and upgrade his gear.

Lara Croft GO follows on from last year’s success that Square Enix’s enjoyed with the Hitman GO video game, and now the developer has provided the well-established Tomb Raider gaming franchise with the same opportunity to build on its previous successes. Lara Croft GO is once again ensconced within Tomb Raider’s familiar world, with the main difference being that it no longer plays exactly like the Tomb Raider titles of the past.

If this sounds like a bit of a copout players will be pleasantly surprised since it somehow just works, gameplay offers five chapters containing 75 unique puzzles, sporting brilliant cel-shaded gaming aesthetics with gameplay being of an acceptable length. The game also offers a number of in app purchases which are relatively inexpensive and does not represent anything essential to complete your missions/puzzles.

Both the below apps should never be considered a trivial matter since both have achieved global fame and recognition in the popularity stakes since the initial inception with the one finally entering the mobile industry, hopefully with a bang of success. The other app is an oldie but known to be one of the best of its kind that have now received a much-needed interface revamp to modernise its look and keep it contemporary, while adding a few new innovative features.

The first app is the age-old family game now a newby in the mobile market, Trivial Pursuit, and a singularly successful social trivia quiz game, that is now at last making its entry into the mobile arena by newly introducing us once again to company’s latest baby dubbed Trivial Pursuit & Friends.

This latest sequel easily deserves to be called one of the greater iPad games ever and this statement is qualified by considering that it’s originating game, Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor, is still considered by many to be one of the very first truly great mobile games.
