TouchArcade Rating:

With the holidays and the big App Store freeze finally behind us, things can finally get back to normal with our weekly iOS game releases. Well… sort of. As it turned out, there were enough games that trickled out between our pre-Christmas Out Now post and the actual iTunes freeze that we posted an Out Now during that week. Then last week, when things were finally unfrozen and we expected an avalanche of new games to pour out, there were only a small handful of new things, so we didn’t even do an Out Now. I guess if there’s one thing about the App Store that’s consistent it’s its inconsistency. So this week includes stuff that actually came out this week along with several games that released last week, so check out everything below and let us know what games you’ll be checking out.

IWO: Bloodbath in the Bonins

screen1024x1024-2

iTunes Description

Iwo Jima was a critical point on the flight path of US bombers from their Saipan bases to their Japanese targets. The island would be a refuge for malfunctioning or damaged bombers coming or going. An obvious target for a US amphibious assault, the Japanese had reinforced the garrison and dug miles of tunnels the length and breadth of the island. Their goal was to inflict maximum casualties on the Americans to force them to reconsider the seemingly inevitable invasion of Japan. The resulting battle was brutal, even by the standards of the Pacific War.
