Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh it’s finally here, The Binding of Issac: Rebirth ($14.99), which really seems like the perfect game to get to celebrate today’s made up holiday which is Cigarettes are Hazardous to Your Health Day! For real though, the game is fabulous, the port is great, the controls are on par with the best dual stick shooters, but most importantly: We need to support premium games like this as a community of iOS gamers. If you often find yourself complaining about free to play, IAP, shallow games, and all the other common mobile criticisms, put your money where your mouth is and download The Binding of Issac. Nothing would make me happier than for word to get out that the port did incredibly well on mobile, as it could help to reinvigorate interest from developers to make more premium iOS games if we show them a market exists for them. Here’s a lengthy Let’s Play that will give you a great idea of what you’re in for:
