This week has been pretty awesome for me so far, so it’d only make sense that we’re getting some awesome games out of the ol’ App Store games spigot this evening. I’m chomping at the bit so hard for Defender Chronicles II that I… I don’t know, whatever happens to you when you chomp on a bit too hard. The first game was great and I’m expecting big things from the sequel.
Anyway, like all Wednesdays, all of these games should be available at 11:00 PM Eastern. If you follow us on Twitter, I usually blast out a tweet around that time reminding everyone too.
Air Mail, $4.99 – Forum Thread – Judging by the trailer, this game looks bananas. (B.A.N.A.N.A.S. for you Gwen Stefani fans out there.) I seem to love everything that involves a biplane, the graphics look great, and hopefully the story of the game is as cool as the trailer makes it sound.
Bee Leader, 99¢ – Forum Thread – This game might just have the best trailer I’ve seen in quite a while. The way they built the text into the actual gameplay? That’s super clever. iOS developers, take note!
Defender Chronicles II, $2.99 – Forum Thread – We had our pepperoni-greased hands all over this game not too long ago. The original was great, and I’m fairly confident this game is going to soak up the rest of my week.
Extreme Skater, 99¢ / HD – Forum Thread – The latest game from the guys at Miniclip. I had a chance to spend some time with it at GDC, and it’s a fun twist on something that vaguely resembles an auto-runner with a skateboard mechanic and levels.
Golf Squared, 99¢ / HD – Forum Thread – These sort of 2D golf games always seem to be a ton of fun on the iPhone, so it’s not that big of a leap to assume that Golf Squared will be good too.
Iniesta Vs Casillas, Free – Forum Thread – Download this free soccer shootout game and never stop scoring goals against Madrid. Like, ever.
Sakura Slash, Free – Forum Thread – A free game from Gamevil that seems vaguely similar to Fruit Ninja with a samurai-style twist.
Shoot the Zombirds, 99¢ – Forum Thread – A slick looking shooter with an oddly off-season Halloween-style theme?
Sky Gnomes: Battles, Free – Forum Thread – We’re huge fans of Sky Gnomes proper, and this turn-based standalone racing game seems pretty rad as well.
Slingshot Racing – Forum Thread – Remember Rocket Jockey? Well, take that similar mechanic and apply it to a racing game. Sounds good to me.
Subway Surfers, Free – Forum Thread – This looks to be a Temple Run-style endless runner, but set on some subway tracks. That seems… Really dangerous!
Tiny Plane, 99¢ – Forum Thread – Remember what I said earlier about biplanes? Yeah, that applies here too. Looks great.
Virtua Tennis Challenge, $4.99 – Forum Thread – A Virtual Tennis game for iOS devices with gesture controls? Ree-hee-hee-healy. I’m so in.
