It’s been an absolutely insane week so far. With iOS 8 releasing today, there’s been an onslaught of updates being released to support the new software and its many features. That also means there’s been heavy, heavy traffic to the App Store, and all day it’s been chugging along at the speed of molasses. Also, when there’s THIS much action going on, it puts a strain on our own backend stuff that relies on the App Store. So, if you happen to not see any links to some of the games below, let us know in the comments and we’ll do what we can. All that aside, it’s actually turning out to be a really strong week for new iOS games. Peruse the fine list below and let us know what you’re gunning for.
