Just how did we become so obsessed with portable pixels?

As well as pop royalty, we hear from key developers Imangi (Temple Run) and Telltale (The Walking Dead), plus gaming experts from Edge and Retro Gamer magazines. We have a band facing off over Fruit Ninja and 1Xtra's Nick Bright will be getting hands-on with some of the machines that have defined mobile videogaming as we know it.
