With Apple's earnings call and Thursday's Mac event, there's been plenty of serious
0:05
business in the world of Apple this week, which is why we've chosen an all game line
0:09
up in this week's apps of the week. Plus, when the titles are this good, they're hard to ignore
0:14
So let's get started. Did you wake up wishing to spend your Sunday playing a mashup of pinball and 80s sci-fi
0:24
classic Tron? Well, if you did indeed have this oddly specific dream, you'll be pleased as punch this week
0:30
That's thanks to Pinout, a fun remix on the pinball genre which fuses pulsing lights
0:34
retro wave beats and an original take on regular pinball tables. In the game, pinball is fused with an endless runner game of sorts, as you compete to see
0:43
how far you can move through a seemingly never ending table in the time allotted
0:47
Unlike more traditional pinball games, it's a pinball experience that could only ever take place in the digital world, and it's all the better for it
0:54
Well, there goes all that free time you were going to fill with useful jobs around the house

The long anticipated Civilization 6 rocked up on the Mac this week, 3 days after it landed
1:04
on the PC. 25 years after Sid Meier's popular franchise, squeezing all of, well, Civilization into
1:09
a single game, first shipped, the experience is as rewarding as ever
1:13
It builds on the same epic, turn-based format that's worked for so long, but at a plethora
1:18
of new material. You'll need a high-end Mac to run it, and right now it's still a single player game
1:23
that's pricier and not as expanded as Civilization 5. But so long as you've got the hardware, and are happy to sign over a few thousand hours
1:30
of your life, no one is going to regret this purchase. With the title RPG Dragon Sinker, it's no great secret what kind of game this is
1:39
The fantasy role-playing game is a fun flashback to the 8-bit days of Nintendo
1:43
While not quite on the time-munching time of Civilization, RPG Dragon Sinker is, nonetheless
1:48
a game that promises to the consumer plenty of waking moments. As you lead a team of up to 12 party members, as they do the usual exploring and battling
1:55
stuff you'd hope for from any self-respecting RPG. If you've played any of the developers' previous RPGs, you'll be at home very quickly
2:03
What it loses in novelty, however, it certainly makes back up in other ways
2:07
It's definitely recommended. Imagine Street Fighter 2 with no physical combat, but a whole lot more Gordon Ramsay
2:13
style insult throwing. That's basically the premise behind Oh Sir! The Insult Simulator
2:18
An hilarious game that lets you choose your fighter, and then engage in round after round
2:22
of DIY verbal jousting. There are all of the combos, criticals, continuations and other fighting game mechanics you'd expect
2:29
but with a brilliant twist. Probably the most laugh out loud app experience of 2016
2:33
Well, that's it for all this week's apps of the week. I'll make sure to leave links to all the apps featured in the description down below
