Atari has sent us a rather disturbing email today. A cluster of asteroids are propelling their way towards planet Earth! Uh oh! Fortunately, the ship that saved us all back in 1979 in the original Asteroids has had a few upgrades in the past 30 years and it's back again.

Coming soon will be free-to-play, dual-stick shooter Asteroids: Gunner. It'll offer three galaxies to explore with 150 waves of asteroids and aliens to wipe out. Three different spacecrafts will also be available: the Miner, the Bomber and the Dart and plenty of upgrades are on offer. New galaxies and upgrades will be purchaseable with Space Bucks, while leaderboard fans will enjoy the all-important Game Center and Open Feint support.

For now, we've just got a selection of screenshots of what's to come, but I strongly suggest keeping an eye on the Asteroids: Gunner Facebook page as well as here for more information as and when we get it.

Bugs are universally considered pests in the gaming world. All the more so it seems when it comes to attempting to destroy historical artwork such as the great paintings located in The Louvre Museum.

This is the premise of Paint in the Bugs, a simple casual game all about wiping out bugs in order to stop them damaging the beautiful paintings within the museum. Along the way, players can take in the sights of such classic masterpieces as the Mona Lisa and more.

To do this, players must shoot their way through each level ensuring that they use the right color paint for the right creature in order to vanquish them.

Good hand to eye coordination is required, as well as a keen eye to keep track of the color variants. This looks set to be one for the high score chasing fan.

Paint in the Bugs is out now and priced at $0.99.
