About

Pocket Arcade started as a group chat where a few friends kept swapping links to games worth trying on the commute. At some point the messages got long enough that we figured a proper site made more sense. Now we run a small editorial desk and publish a handful of pieces every week.,We focus on the stuff you actually play with one hand on a bus: racing, arcade, casual pick-up-and-play titles, plus the occasional deeper RPG or strategy game when it earns the space. Everything gets installed, played for real, and put through the usual questions. Does it run smoothly? Does it nag you every ten seconds? Is it fun after the tutorial?,We pick games by a mix of reader suggestions, store browsing, and word of mouth. There's no paid placement in our lists. If a game gets recommended here, it's because someone on the team actually enjoyed their time with it.,We keep the writing casual because that's how we talk about games anyway. If you disagree with a rating, tell us. Half our best coverage came from someone emailing to say we were wrong.
