Gboard

After releasing it first on iOS, Google has finally released Gboard on Android. Instead of being a separate app, Gboard replaces the Google Keyboard app on your phone. Although the two are largely the same, Gboard does include the Google search function built-in, which lets you do quick searches from within the keyboard, without leaving the app. You can also search for GIFs and images and paste them within compatible apps. So far the compatible apps only include Google's own apps, unlike the iOS version of Gboard which can paste in many more apps.

Super Mario Run

There is not much new to say here that we haven't already said in our review. To sum it up, it's not exactly the Mario game you may have been looking for on your phone, but it's still a decent game nonetheless. iOS only for now.

iOS

Bully

Bully is a popular Rockstar title that released on consoles back in 2006. The game revolves around the life of a 15-year old student named Jimmy Hopkins who has a penchant for getting into trouble and his school life. The protagonist is very different from what we are used to seeing in Rockstar games but the game nonetheless has the classic Rockstar gameplay style that we have come to love from GTA games.
