Back in October, Square Enix director Takashi Tokita announced that his team was working on a mobile version of its popular Final Fantasy VI title. The game, he said, will be landing on iOS and Android platforms “this winter.”

Originally developed by Core Design and published by Eidos Interactive, Tomb Raider has introduced the world to perhaps the most famous female protagonist, the English archaeologist named Lara Croft.
Tomb Raider is one of the games which helped sell Sony's original PlayStation though the franchise with its subsequent installments, movie tie-ins and merchandize would prove quite popular in years to come.
Seventeen years following its 1996 debut, Tomb Raider I is now available for the iPhone and iPad. The action adventure recreates the original experience, environments, levels and gameplay with touch-optimized controls, with support for iOS 7 game controllers such as the Moga Ace Power and Logitech's PowerShell...
Ebook and mobile app publisher Random House Digital has released an interesting iPad education app in the App Store. Stephen Hawking’s Snapshots of the Universe, suitable for children aged 9+, uses the work and writings of Stephen Hawking, the famous English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University of Cambridge, to teach students the basic theories of the movement of the stars and planets.
The astrophysicist apparently had a say in the app's design as he envisioned an app that would help explain the fundamentals of space to both adults and children through fun mini-games. The interactive experience is optimized for iOS 7 with clean and streamlined graphic elements.
Available sections cover the basics of our solar system and let you spin planets in orbit, drop objects with Galileo to learn about gravity, search for black holes in the constellation of Leo, discover Einstein’s warped worldview and G-force in outer space and lots more...
