The App Store is finally starting to pick up speed and tonight the flood gates are opening as tons of quality titles are launching simultaneously. Check out the fine selection below.
Soul Calibur – $12.99 [Universal]
Soul Calibur is the port of the 1999 Dreamcast version of the game and is debuting to the tune of thirteen dollars. Though the typical Apple gamer may balk at the price tag, fans of the fighting series are probably mashing the buy button as it releases around the world.
JAZZ: Trump’s Journey – $2.99 [Universal]
Set in New Orleans during the era of jazz music, JAZZ certainly seems to embody how the city looked like back then. With a unique musical twist this platformer certainly looks like a great time. Check out our review of it here: http://www.the-app-shack.com/2012/01/jazz-trumps-journey-299-bulkypix-egg.html
The popular JRPG Ash, now has a sequel which is surprisingly published by Konami. There are two versions called Silver and Gold. Apparently Silver gets you half off all future content updates presumably available by iAP. Gold, while being a bit more expensive, promises free content updates forever.
Time of Heroes – $0.99 [Universal]
Looks like an interesting turn-based combat game with an interesting story. Coming from Smuttlewerk studios, we are sure this is a top of the line game.
Niko – $1.99 [Universal]
Free to try platformer with full game unlock for $1.99. Looks like it differentiates itslef from the other platformers with an unique control system.
Puzzlejuice – $2.99 [Universal]
Another of the many word game that have been taking the Appstore by storm over the past few weeks. From the description it seems like a combination of Bejewled, Tetris, and Spell Tower. Certainly looking forward to this one.
Also a number of other releases came out earlier today before the massive rush. Here are the ones that looked worthwhile to download:
Caverns of Minos – $1.99 [Universal]
Coming from the master of retro games, Llamasoft, this will tide you over till the rest of the releases come out and probably for the rest of your weekend! Just got it and am really loving it so far.
OVERTURN – $3.99 [iPhone only]
(Footage of Wii version)
Adapted from the Wii to the touchscreen interface, Overturn certainly looks like an interesting game. My only worry is that the controls may not be the best. Other than that looks great!
