Notable Releases: Urban Tycoon, Hooked: Pocket Fishing, Nanosaur 2, Loot Wars

Unfortunately, we don’t have time to review every new release that appears in the App Store, but here are a few new releases that we thought were worth a look (along with part of their App Store descriptions):

Nanosaur 2 ($3.99)

In Nanosaur 2 you pilot a flying dinosaur from the future who is equipped with massive firepower! Your goal is to find and retrieve the missing dinosaur eggs, and to do that you’ll have to blow up a whole lotta stuff! You’ll battle other Nanosaurs and their defense systems, and collect powerups which give you a large array of weaponry ranging from heat seeking missiles to cluster bombs.

Nanosaur 2 was originally a Mac game which is still available as a downloadable demo.

Loot Wars ($1.99)

Loot Wars is a multiplayer online item collection game. Players can scavenge, trade, or fight each other to win possession of a host of interesting items. Loot ranges from the fantastic Elven Dagger, fanciful Reading Glasses, awesome Stealth Fighter, everyday Laptop, to delicious Fish and Chips.

Trying to fill the casual multi-player niche.

Urban Tycoon ($1.99)

Urban Tycoon puts the city in your hands.. literally! Pinch and swipe your way through your city. The goal of Urban Tycoon is to build a financially flourishing metropolis that’s environmentally safe and low on crime. As an urban tycoon you will have complete control of your urban area’s budget… so spend it wisely.

We previously posted a teaser video for Urban Tycoon which hopes to attract Sims fans.

Hooked: Pocket Fishing ($0.99)

Hooked: Pocket Fishing is the first completely interactive fishing experience for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Hooked: Pocket Fishing simulates casting, reeling, setting the line, changing your reel rate to compensate for the fish’s behavior, and managing your equipment for the best chances at catching a fish.

Forum members have already been recommending this fishing game which has now been dropped to $0.99.
