It’s that time of week when we round up all the new iOS games that hit the App Store in the past seven days, and this post is also my final one before going on a week-long vacation roughing it on the California coast. I am TOTALLY checked out already, but I can muster up enough motivation to finish off this week’s list. And it’s a good one! Fans of CAVE shooters will surely enjoy Aka to Blue, a new premium game from a studio comprised of former CAVE people. It’s really good! Modern Combat Versus has also launched globally, and is an excellent multiplayer-only first-person shooter (when the servers are running well, that is). And perhaps the biggest sleeper hit is Dunkers 2, the sequel to my favorite wacky physics basketball game ever. So dig into the full list of games below and let us know which ones you’ll be picking up! See you guys next week!
