It might have taken nearly a year and a half since it was originally announced, but Capcom's HD remake of the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney trilogy finally landed in the App Store in May of this year. All three games in the series were partially redrawn and reworked to look great on high resolution mobile device screens, but it turned out not to be quite all it could have been. The new visuals didn't match the resolution of Retina iPad screens, nor did it properly fill the aspect ratios of iPads or widescreen iPhone or iPod touch devices...

Here is a very nice treat as we head into the weekend. 1337 Game Design's Devil's Attorney [$1.99] is free for the first time ever. Originally launching back in September of last year, Devil's Attorney took the strategic turn-based battling that you might find in any number of RPG or TBS titles and applied it to the courtroom. Rather than hurling magic spells, you're using Objections to cool down the prosecution or Reverse Psychology to get key witnesses against your client to turn on themselves. Being that you're the Devil's attorney and all, your ultimate goal is to get your less-than-desirable clients off scot-free by using every dirty trick you can think of...

Halloween may be over, but there's still plenty of vampire slaying to be done in Square Ennix's Bloodmasque [Free], which is currently free for the first time ever. Originally releasing this past July, Bloodmasque is an action RPG that tasks you with ridding Paris of vampires in the late 1800s. Combat resembles the face-to-face fighting of Infinity Blade, and there's a fairly robust leveling system for your vampire slayer along with a variety of different weapons and attacks to acquire along the way...

This past June, Square Enix released the latest entry in the critically-acclaimed Deus Ex series with the mobile-only title Deus Ex: The Fall [$0.99 / Free]. Set right after the events that took place in the novel 'Deus Ex: Icarus Effect', and leading right into the timeline of events in 2011's console release Deus Ex: Human Revolution, The Fall did an outstanding job capturing the atmosphere and intrigue of the recent Deus Ex games and fitting it into a mobile, touchscreen-friendly package. ..

Crescent Moon's epic open world RPG Ravensword: Shadowlands [$6.99] has just received its biggest update ever, and to celebrate it's also on sale for its lowest price ever at just 99¢. Shadowlands originally launched back in December of last year, and is the sequel to the original Ravensword [$2.99] which ushered in a new era of mobile open world games when it was released way back in 2009. Ravensword: Shadowlands expanded upon just about everything over the original, from better visuals to an even larger open world to explore and much more. We were quite impressed with it in our review...

With Halloween right around the corner, there's absolutely no better tip to check out Double Fine's Costume Quest [$4.99]. The console iteration was reviewed well, and as far as I can tell this is the cheapest the game has ever been (Unless you count paying the absolute minimum for the various indie PC bundles, I guess.)...

Here's a nice treat if you're looking for something to do this weekend. Farseer Games' quirky physics-based, stunt-skiing, evil robot-killing game Krashlander [$1.99] is free until Monday. Krashlander originally launched way back in February of this year, and you may remember that we took it for a spin in a TA Plays video where we showcased just how much we sucked at the game. It wasn't just us though, as Krashlander used unique mechanics that relied heavily on the position of your skier and the physics system to accomplish what you needed to do for each level. In fact it was such a tricky game to grasp that the game's developer Jeff Weber offered up some tips to try and help players click with the game. Krashlander was such an interesting and unique game that it was worth putting the time into understanding how to play...

Frogmind's Badland [$3.99] is just one of those gifts that keep on giving. Originally launched back in April, this one-touch flapping adventure was already pretty fantastic in its initial release. Since then, it's been updated on an almost monthly basis adding in new levels and features. This week, in its seventh update, Badland gets a whole Halloween theme along with a new multiplayer level and four new multiplayer characters. If you haven't played Badland before, its same-device multiplayer mode is a hoot, so it's always nice to see new content in that area...

Hamburg-based developer Fishlabs has been on the forefront of the mobile scene since the company was founded nearly 10 years ago. We were unbelievably stoked back in 2009 when news that Galaxy on Fire [Free] was coming to the App Store. I've always been a huge fan of massive PC space games like Freelancer, so having a similar experience on my iPhone was almost too good to be true. When Galaxy on Fire was released, Fishlabs was providing a real, super-in depth gameplay experience that was essentially unrivaled at the time. It looks super dated now, but the trailer for the original Galaxy on Fire is at least worth skipping through just so you can appreciate how much better the sequel is-..

If for some insane reason you haven't played Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic [$4.99], hopefully its recent 50% price drop to $4.99 is enough to get you to solve that grievous error in your life. I mean, if I've learned anything from The Butterfly Effect, it's that one small mistake like this can lead to potential heinous consequences in the future. We effortlessly gave it five stars in our review, with most of the "issues" (Using some massive air quotes there!) just stem from the game itself just being on the old side. There's no Retina assets, for instance, because KOTOR comes from an era where a game running at 2048x1152 was something reserved for science fiction novels...

Well I thought it was both surprising and awesome when Viewtiful Joe and Lester Knight were added as playable characters in the Game Bakers' fantastic touchscreen brawler Combo Crew [$1.99], but today's update really takes the cake. Four new fighters have risen to the occasion and again the Game Bakers have partnered up with Capcom to bring them into Combo Crew. Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and Blanka from Street Fighter II all make their Combo Crew debut in this latest update. Like Viewtiful Joe, each of these new characters will cost 99¢ to download and unlock before you can play with them. Or, if you prefer, you could buy the "Capcom Crew" IAP for $3.99 which unlocks all four new characters and Viewtiful Joe, plus will include any future new characters for free...

There's nothing quite like when a truly amazing game gets even better through updates. Such is the case with XCOM: Enemy Unknown [$19.99]. The critically acclaimed reboot of the original 1994 turn-based strategy title made waves with its release on desktop and consoles late last year, and an incredibly faithful port made its way to the App Store this past June. Its graphics were slightly dumbed down and it was missing a few of the features from its console counterpart, but the iOS version of XCOM was still simply fantastic, and set the bar for what we should expect from a premium experience on our mobile devices...

It's Friday and we're getting ready to kickoff the weekend, and what better way to do that than with a bunch of cool games that are currently available for free. The App Store is host to constant price drops and freebies, but here's a list of some of the more recent ones that have caught our eye...

It's hard to believe that there were that many people out there who were letting the former 99¢ price tag of the fantastic NimbleQuest [Free] put them off from downloading the game, but, hey, these are weird times we live in. We've got a review up if you need some additional convincing, but hopefully the $0 price tag is all you need to download this super fun game...
