While Google's Android platform has proven itself to be a tenacious competitor for Apple's iOS over the past few years, one thing it has arguably lacked is a readily-identifiable 'hero' handset which can effortlessly capture the imagination - and support - of the general public. 2011's Samsung Galaxy S2 was as close as Android has ever gotten to this kind of lead device, and it has so far shifted an amazing 24 million units globally, allowing Samsung to leapfrog Apple to become the world's largest manufacturer of smartphones.

Do the skies really need a postal service? The denizens of Air Mail's towns do not, as a general rule, occupy the world's upper atmosphere. The number of times you're actually delivering packages is minimal, and you don't get much of a taste for actual floating cities until the game is nearly finished. But I guess the more accurate title "Air Errand-Boy-turned-rebel-pilot" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

It feels wrong to turn Project P-100 into sentences. It feels wrong to try and turn it into words, really. Instead, it should be left to exist as it is: a confident, colourful tangle of frantic, wriggling onomatopoeias. You know, the kind of thing you might get if you shut a very small, very fancy dog inside a washing machine and then dialled in the jauntiest of spin cycles.

Microsoft has updated its My Xbox Live companion app for iOS devices, and launched it on Android for the first time.

Capcom has announced Street Fighter x Tekken Mobile.

It's safe to say that last year's Wii U E3 debut left us with more questions than we had answers. It was clear that Nintendo has once again stepped back from the technological arms race that had cost its competitors billions in losses, and was focusing on controller-driven concept games that it felt had a greater chance of mainstream success. However, at the same time, the console was being released seven years after the debut of Xbox 360, so surely it had to reflect the generational leaps in technology we've seen since then? The demos suggested otherwise and, one year later, the evidence suggests that not a great deal has changed.

Amazon UK has slapped a £199 price tag on its Wii U product listing page.
