Patients beware: Surgeon Simulator out now on Android

Wannabe medical students everywhere, it’s time to rejoice: popular PC game Surgeon Simulator is finally out on Android.

As usual, you get to save the lives of your grateful patients on a daily basis. Or butcher them mercilessly; it’s your call, really.

The challenging heart and double kidney operations are now joined by even more hideous teeth and eye transplants.

London-based developer Bossa Studios says a new control system gives "your nimble fingers" control of the action (although we're sure it's going to be as difficult as ever).

There are more than 50 new achievements to unlock during all this medical mayhem.

And if you get tired of the game anyway, a bonus element (as in the iPad version) sees you able to escape the operating room and work in the hospital corridors.

There's only one problem, particularly for existing fans: ART mode isn't yet supported. But if you can live with that, Surgeon Simulator's Android Edition is out now, and yours for $5.99.
