Now home to an entire farming life simulator, the iPhone and iPod Touch are becoming ever more confident gaming platforms. In Astro Ranch you take control of a spacefarer who was looking for the perfect patch to set up a farm. That is until the starship Agricultural Enterprise crash lands into a crater which just happens to have 90% vacant farm land for rent! It is off-the-cuff humour like this which guides you through every aspect of the game.

A fusion of a very well designed fantasy world with a neat and simply entertaining, if somewhat unoriginal, role playing game, penned by famous Russian fantasy fiction authors Sergey Lukyanenko and Nikolay Perumov, A Farewell to Dragons is the second title from young developers Arise.
