It’s that time of week again when we roundup all of the new iOS game releases of the past seven days. As always, there’s a hefty list of new games below that run the gamut of genres, and there’s very likely at least a little something for everyone. Normally we ask you to share which games you’re interested in the comments section, but we’ve been trying out Discord (Free) for the past several weeks and have ended up growing quite an entertaining little community of chatters. So, in addition to the comments section below, feel free to mash this link to get invited to our Discord chat and discuss which games you’re excited about this week with other members of the TA community!
UPDATE: Splitter Critters added to the list below!
