It’s been a super lame week so far for iOS news. I’m really not sure what is happening. Is it possible everyone in the iOS world is avoiding this week to not conflict with the PS Vita launch? Extra long Presidents Day vacations? Extra long Presidents Day vacations while playing the PS Vita? I don’t know! I just hope it stops soon! Tonight’s releases aren’t even that amazing compared to most weeks. When will this madness end?!
Anyway, this works like every other week. These games will all be available for download in the US App Store at 11:00 PM Eastern, or potentially much earlier if you’re in a European, Asian, or Pacific island market.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions for iPad, $17.99 – Forum Thread – If you were wondering where Final Fantasy Tactics was for the iPad… Here it is! For reference, here’s our review of the iPhone version which is a classic game that was marred with porting problems.
