Hey, it’s Wednesday again. The second Wednesday of the new year, which thankfully, is bringing us a few more games than last week. We’re still not back up to 100% of crazy nights of releases, but I feel like this is a good sign that more than three noteworthy games are out tonight. As usual, [...]
This afternoon Apple updated their rules for how screenshots work on the App Store. As of today, screenshots for apps will be locked when the app or game is actually approved, and can’t be changed aside from actually submitting an update for said game or app which must go through the whole approval process again. [...]
Winding the clocks back to August of last year revealed Infinite Warrior [$2.99], or, as we called it, Brad Nicholson: The Video Game. Infinite Warrior is/was basically the result of taking the life of our own Brad Nicholson and game it gameplay mechanics. Similarly, Glass Bottom Games is providing the same treatment for the grand [...]
The ridiculous amount of fun I’ve had blasting through Rovio’s Bad Piggies [$0.99] has really left me looking for more contraption building games on the App Store, as I really enjoyed how you not only needed to build a working contraption but also do something with it. Rigonauts was actually released on Steam before Bad [...]
It’s officially 2013, and instead of starting this week’s release cycle with a bang we’re starting with… Well, a whimper, I guess. Regardless, I’ve been pretty stoked for Hundreds, so even if this week doesn’t have dozen of new games, I’ll still take one (hopefully) really good game. That seems like a decent trade. Either [...]
Happy New Year, everyone! Now that we’ve finally got another year of raw site traffic analytics under our belt, it’s always fun to go back and see which stories were our most popular. Keep in mind, these are just articles that were posted in 2012, as for whatever reason, things like this five paragraph story [...]
Well, it’s Friday and our week of the best iOS games of 2012 is over. Looking back on all these posts, we saw an incredible amount of amazing games over the last year. No matter what genre(s) you prefer, we dug through everything the App Store had to offer and came up with the best [...]
In 2012, puzzle games continued to shine in a big way on the App Store. Branching out from the typical word games and block sliders of days of yore, 2012 brought some seriously unique and innovative experiences- Both as spinoffs to existing App Store franchises and from developers that came completely out of left field [...]
2012, like the years before it, have been incredible times for iOS gamers. This year was a little strange in that due to the magic of the App Store, a lot of the great games from 2011 continued to shine even brighter via updates throughout the year. Instead of one stand-out title like last year’s [...]
These days it’s hard to get excited over vague teasers in the iOS space, but this one is different. City State Entertainment has some serious talent behind the helm, as if you listened to our bonus podcast, you’d know that it’s run by veteran game designer Mark Jacobs. He’s likely best known for his work [...]
It’s the Wednesday before the big iTunes freeze, which means this is basically the last of the new games until next year. Speaking of next year, I think I’ve about reached my personal limit of hearing “See you next year *eyebrows furl wildly*” jokes. Anyway, all of these games should be available at 11:00 PM [...]
Strange things are afoot on the App Store as everyone rushes to get their games and apps out before the iTunes freeze this Friday. The Penny Arcade The Game: Gamers vs. Evil [$4.99] card game hit the New Zealand App Store moments ago, and with any luck, should be available tonight in the US at [...]
Gentlemen, start your speculation. As of this writing, the EA Asia web site for Real Racing 3 is listing the game as “OUT NOW.” Now, who knows if this is just a simple error on EA’s part or if they’re gearing up for some sort of launch this week, but we’re so hungry for this [...]
While we’re still diligently working away at our various year-end “Best Of” posts, Apple has jumped the gun on their featuring- Making us wonder if there’s not going to be any huge releases next week before the freeze. (Some forum members were suggesting a surprise appearance from Real Racing 3 as a potential holiday surprises.) [...]
It’s Wednesday again, and a rather exciting Wednesday at that. If you haven’t yet, you should really check out our new TouchArcade Free Play program where you can get Aralon: Sword and Shadow HD for precisely zero dollars. Anyway, this is a massive release week as we approach the holidays, so let’s get on with [...]
Quite a few stars have aligned to launch the TouchArcade Free Play initiative. Our first game we’re going to be featuring is Crescent Moon Games’ Aralon: Sword and Shadow HD [Free]. The two year anniversary of the game’s original release is coming up and Crescent Moon is gearing up for the impending launch of Ravensword: [...]
As you’ve probably noticed by now, the App Store ecosystem is loaded with ways to get free games. Whether you’re involved in some elaborate referral code scheme or are simply downloading a game that a developer paid (potentially lots) of money to be promoted as free, quality is something that is rarely considered. We aim [...]
If all goes as planned, Ravensword: Shadowlands could be hitting in the next few weeks. That’s pending the whole archaic ritual of the Apple approval process, the world not actually ending at the end of the Mayan calendar, and a few other factors which may be less severe than that. Regardless, in the meantime, the [...]
The game that started it all, Rovio’s Angry Birds [$0.99] is celebrating its third anniversary with a 3.0 update that, like most previous Angry Birds updates adds some new content and other tweaks. The biggest of which is probably iPhone 5 support, but they’ve also added a new bird along with 15 birthday-themed levels and [...]
22Cans’ Curiosity [Free] oddly enough still seems to be going strong with users plinking away at the cube revealing new layers on a daily basis. PocketGamer even has someone who is crazy enough to play the game every day and write about it. It didn’t grab us in quite the same way, but if tapping [...]
Hey everybody, here’s the best games we reviewed in the month of November. Keep in mind you can view all of our 5 star and 4.5 star games via category sorting. Similarly, you can see all of these “best of” roundups by clicking the Best iPhone Games category. You’ll find tons of good stuff in [...]
As someone who has been around since day zero of standing in line for the O.G. iPhone, it’s incredibly interesting looking at just how the App Store has evolved since, well, before it even existed. Back when free to play first hit the App Store the name of the game and buzzword phrase of the [...]
Batten down the hatches, as the first Wednesday in December is a doozie. Something tells me this is just the calm before the storm, too. Historically speaking these release nights get more and more packed until the holiday iTunes freeze hits. That’s likely going to be the case this year as well. Anyway, all of [...]
It’s Wednesday again, and by the looks of this week, it’s obvious most developers were simply avoiding last week as there’s a lot coming out tonight. Anyway, let’s get down to business. Everything here should be available by 11:00 PM Eastern tonight. BattleFriends at Sea, Free – Forum Thread – If you’re just dying to [...]
If you haven’t given Plague Inc. [$0.99] a try yet, you really should. Originally released in May this year, the game essentially is an incredibly well done iOS port of the various Flash games all centralized around the idea of building a disease deadly enough to knock out the entire human population. We reviewed the [...]
If you’re the kind of person who has spent a ridiculous amount of time building scale Minecraft replicas of things you wish you had in the real world, Minecraft Reality [$1.99] is going to be right up your alley. Created by 13th Lab, and officially supported by Mojang, using the app is as simple as [...]
Thanksgiving (or, um, “Grey Thursday” as some people are calling it) is over, which means Black Friday is upon us. If you’re hardcore enough to do the whole doorbuster thing you probably have already seen some crazy deals, and the money-saving gravy train is continuing online today. The Apple Store has modest discounts on iOS [...]
If for some reason you were holding off on downloading Fish Labs’ Galaxy on Fire 2 [Free], you officially just ran out of excuses. For the first time ever, this space shooter is totally free. If you need that extra push over the edge, you could check out our review, but really, you should just [...]
I had to triple check my calendar, and then double check a different calendar to make sure it wasn’t Wednesday, as tonight’s releases snuck up on us by surprise. I guess it makes sense, as it seems a little weird to release your brand new game on Thanksgiving. Or maybe releasing your game on Thanksgiving [...]
Here’s something strange that’s getting a lot of traction on Twitter: Is a Game of Thrones game coming to the App Store (and Nook)- Massive mega-fan site Westeros.org just posted the vague teaser image you see to the right of a definite Game of Thrones app icon. Now, before you roll your eyes and say, [...]
Love it or hate it, OpenFeint was a very important step for iOS devices. Jason Citron and his company basically pioneered bringing something similar to an “Xbox Live experience,” for lack of a better way to put it, to the App Store in a big way. Prior to OpenFeint, games might’ve had online leader boards, [...]
It’s Wednesday again, and, assuming you’re American, this puts us one week closer to gorging ourselves on turkey then proceeding to the ceremonial trampling by a stampede of deal-hungry Wal-Mart shoppers. I’ve got my bets on hefty App Store deals, but, in the meantime, here’s a whole heap of new games coming out tonight: Arranger, [...]
It’s Wednesday again, which typically means a massive amount of new iOS games. Unfortunately, it’d seem that nearly everyone is avoiding releasing their games this week to avoid needing to go up against Angry Birds: Star Wars- Maybe- That seems reasonable to me. Or, vaguely reasonable, anyway. Angry Birds: Star Wars – We don’t have [...]
So you just blew anywhere from $329 to $499 or potentially way more than that on an iPad and/or iPad mini, don’t have a lot of money left over for games, and don’t want to go trudging through the top free charts- The good news is, there’s always an insane number of deals to be [...]
So, you just unboxed your shiny new iPad, a friend told you to check out TouchArcade, and you have no idea where to start. Well, the TouchArcade App [Free] is what you need. We use it ourselves to find new games, and it’s even been the center of success stories like the discovery of 10000000 [...]
Hey everybody, here’s the best games we reviewed in the month of October. Keep in mind you can view all of our 5 star and 4.5 star games via category sorting. Similarly, you can see all of these “best of” roundups by clicking the Best iPhone Games category. You’ll find tons of good stuff in [...]
We’re back again this month with another roundup of what users of the TouchArcade App [Free] are most excited for. We fiddled with how these list are tabulated since the September and August postings were so similar. So, before we were computing this data based on total users that have added a particular game to [...]
![‘Halo 4: King of the Hill Fuled [sic] by Mountain Dew’ – How Low Will You Go for Double Experience-](http://iphoneheadlines.com/images/2012/11/halo-king-of-the-hill-fuled-sic-by-mountain-dew-how-low-will-you-go-for-double-experience_l-dte_0.jpg)
Among last night’s new releases, there was one stand out that just seemed so silly that I needed to install it on my phone first thing today and give it a spin. Halo 4: King of the Hill Fuled [sic] by Mountain Dew [Free] is one of those things that I can’t believe exists, yet, [...]
While you were busy retweeting NimbleBit’s seemingly innocuous Halloween well-wishes, you likely missed one very important detail: When you turn the lights on, you’ll see a glimpse of the first publicly released screenshot of the next NimbleBit game. Open the image in your image editor of choice, and crank the exposure up, and you’re left [...]
This is a larger than average week of game releases, and if I had to guess why, I’d say it has something to do with a shocking number of people sitting around right now refreshing their FedEx/UPS tracking information for the first wave of iPad mini and iPad 4′s to arrive. We’re planning quite the [...]
Following the release of Snuggle Truck [Free], Owlchemy Labs moved on to something more… Supernatural. In Jack Lumber [$0.99] you play as a lumberjack that can equip magical beards to, well, jack lumber, as the game’s title suggests. We took a look at the game in a TA Plays video and had a great time [...]
Still at the top of my list of games I recommend to people, 10000000 [$0.99] is just one of those games that perfectly embodies everything that’s awesome about the App Store. It takes several gameplay elements that have been done to death, in this case, RPG and matching, but somehow manages to make it feel [...]
