Sonic has persuaded some of the Angry Birds to pop into Sonic Dash for a few weeks, prompting Peter, Harry, James to ask who is doing who a favour in this brand smushing experiment. They also discuss the new features set to appear in iOS 9, and chat about new releases Transistor, Angry Birds Fight!, and Green Ninja.

This week we peer down our sights at Square Enix's latest Hitman spin-off, see if Blades of Brim can overtake Subway Surfers, and ask whether racer-cum-dating sim Drift Girls is sexist or just plain weird.

Three of this week's new games are roguelikes. Sproggiwood, Desktop Dungeons, and The Deep are all randomly generated adventures designed to kill you over and over again, and they're all vying for your cash. We also chat about Chaos Rings III, which is great when it works, and the pitch perfect iOS port of Geometry Wars 3, which you should totally get right now because it's frikkin awesome.

Having been away in Sweden covering the Nordic Game conference, James parachutes into the pod booth late on a Friday and gets Peter to tell him what the hell is going on. Things going on include Til Morning's Light, Sword of Xolan, and KOTOR 2 coming to mobile.

Have you even dreamt about the Pocket Gamer Podcast? No? Are you sure? Perhaps you're dreaming right now. Perhaps you're reading this blurb in your mind's eye as you lie in your bed, your subconscious willing the sun to rise faster so that the morning comes quicker and you don't have to keep reading this pointless, directionless drivel. Wake up, listener. You must wake up. Games are coming.

Happiness is the word of the day on this week's podcast, after Harry decrees everything awesome. Yes, even free-to-play games based on Clash of Clans. They're all awesome. Yes they are. YES. THEY ARE.

This week, Peter, James, and returning guest Alysia cover Britney Spears's upcoming Glu game, and the second part of Tim Schafer's Broken Age. They also ask whether or not Jurassic Park is actually a good film (it is, of course it is, shut up Peter).

The Apple Watch is here! And it plays games! Sort of! In celebration of this futuristic new timepiece, Harry and James check out which games early adopters will be able to strap to their wrists and tap at to the envy of all. They also cover all the new releases, include creepy survival horror Forgotten Memories, and quirky drive-'em-up Does Not Commute.

With Peter away at Pocket Gamer Connects Bangalore, he thought he'd take the opportunity to bring you some exclusive mobile games coverage directly from the event. Joining him for this special bonus episode is Danny Russell (AppSpy), Alysia Judge (PocketGamer.Biz), Eli Hodapp (Touch Arcade), and Keith Stuart (The Guardian).

We won't bury the lead - you can now play Halo on iOS. That's kinda nice, right? Luckily, if you hate Halo (?!) we also break down the new survival horror Lost Within, fetching tower defence game Tiny Guardians, and wrestling sim WWE 2K.
