We’re still trying to figure out what caused this week to be the biggest week ever for iOS games since Christmas last year… Or, bigger, as Jared suspects. Either way, tons of games, and we talk about our favorites as well as recent news, drama, and Money in the Bank predictions for this weekend.

Don’t forget to shoot us emails with any questions, feedback, or anything else relevant or irrelevant to [email protected]. We read ’em all, even if they don’t make it into the podcast. As always, you can listen to us with the links below… And if you like what you hear, please subscribe and/or drop us a review in iTunes. Much appreciated!
