John Bedford (Modojo): After the heady rush of September's release schedule - when Infinity Blade, Angry Birds, and FIFA battled it out for supremacy - October's seemed a little flat by comparison. There are still plenty of top-notch mobile games coming out week by week though, and it's given smaller games the chance to have their moment in the spotlight.
Here's our pick of the very best of iPhone, iPad and Android gaming this week.
TouchArcade: The short turnaround time between the iPhone 6 Plus' announcement and release has left developers scrambling to support the larger iPhone, which has some new technical wrinkles because of its higher resolution.
Tower defense games are a dime a dozen, so normally their release isn't worth a news article. However, SteamPunk Tower has a unique take on the genre, and it isn't just that it takes place in everyone's favorite alternate geek reality.
SteamPunk Tower is actually about a tower. Players build and upgrade the defenses of their steam powered tower while enemies advance from both sides. It looks both simplistic and hectic, with more than a healthy dose of style thrown in the mix.
John Bedford (Modojo): There were some huge new releases for Android gamers in October, from the full-on, in-your-face zombie-slaying antics of a Dead Trigger sequel, to the more sedate and cerebral charms of Type:Rider.
Here's our pick of the ten best games to hit the Android platform in the month of October.
