'AVP: Evolution' Updated with New Characters, Weapons, Missions and More
In late February Angry Mob Games, creators of Muffin Knight [$0.99 / Free] and Guerrilla Bob [$0.99 / $2.99 (HD)] on iOS, released a new 3rd-person action game in the Aliens vs. Predator crossover universe titled AVP: Evolution [$2.99]. In fact, Angry Mob had already proven their merit in working with this kind of IP [...]
Chillingo's Upcoming 'Madmonster' Is An OK Arcade-y Game That Lacks Depth
There's not a really tidy way to categorize Chillingo's Madmonster. It's not a runner, even though it does task you with guiding a tiny monster dude around a world from left to right in an endless charge. It's not a platform game, even though its core mechanic revolves around that monster bouncing up and down [...]
Colorful Sequel 'Mr. Runner 2: The Masks' Hits the App Store
GameVision's Mr. Runner [Free] series has proven popular on the App Store, garnering more than 5 million downloads across its normal and Plus [Free] versions. Yesterday a proper sequel to the original games appeared in the App Store, titled Mr. Runner 2: The Masks [$0.99]. Mr. Runner 2 is an auto-running game. Big surprise, right? [...]
Gameloft's Upcoming 'Iron Man 3' Adds Timers to the Endless Runner Formula
I really want to like Gameloft's upcoming Iron Man 3 [Free], as I can totally get behind making a unique-ish game that actually feels like a cool little mobile companion game to an upcoming movie which will no doubt be a total slam dunk like the rest of the Iron Man series... But leave it [...]
'Nimble Quest' Review - Just One More Run...
Pocket Frogs [Free], Tiny Tower [Free], Pocket Planes [Free]… Nimblebit’s gotten pretty good at keeping us enraptured on our devices with cute graphics and pixelated timers. With Nimble Quest [Free], the team takes a turn towards improving upon and deepening a classic arcade experience. Less of a time-management title and more of an action-oriented experience [...]
'Fist Face Fight' Review - An Arcade Puncher With Heart
Away from the heart. You have to bounce the ninjas—no, punch them—away from the heart, not toward it. Indiscriminate punching isn't good enough. "Defend Heart!" they said. You had one job, and you failed by scoring on your own goal, punching some guy right into your own vulnerable heart. There might be a metaphor there. [...]
'The Sandbox' Lasers and Pipes Update Now Available
Back at GDC we took a peek at some of the new stuff heading to Pixowl's The Sandbox [Free], and today the first of those updates has gone live in the App Store. The Sandbox, if it wasn't obvious, is a 2D sandbox game which lets you play as the almighty finger of God and [...]
'Best Worst App Ever - EPIC' Might Be the Best Worst App Ever
At TouchArcade, we pride ourselves on highlighting the best games the App Store has to offer. The Best Worst App Ever - EPIC [Free] is not one of those games. In fact it's terrible, but in all the right ways. Indeed, as its name implies, in the world of bad apps this is definitely among [...]
2Fuse - Finger Busting Fun for Everyone
Best described as a twin-matching arcade puzzle game, 2Fuse 2.0 has been gaining fans steadily since its launch about a year ago. While it started off modestly, 2Fuse saw an explosive growth in fans a few months back after blogs and famous personalities wrote about the addictive game and has not looked back since. For [...]Show More Summary

Freebie Alert: In Celebration of 'Random Heroes 2' Launching this Week, 'League of Evil 2' Goes Free
As we told you back in February, the folks over at Ravenous Games are prepping the release of Random Heroes 2, the sequel to last summer's action platformer Random Heroes [Free]. The original Random Heroes was pretty cool, but Ravenous is hoping to ratchet things up in the sequel with new mechanics, new enemies, and [...]
Yet Another Upcoming Vlambeer Game Has Been Ruthlessly Cloned and Released on the App Store
I was hoping to ignore this story, since it seems like the worst thing to do with these kinds of clones is shed more light on them, but it's blowing up too much across social networks to disregard. Remember the Ninja Fishing drama from about two years ago? Well, this is almost the exact same [...]
Wii FPS 'The Conduit' is On Its Way to iOS
Regardless of the fact that The Conduit's reviews couldn't be more split, it's still really neat to see a console game this recent heading to iOS devices. Originally released in 2009, I think it's reasonably fair to say that The Conduit was High Voltage Software's attempt at bringing a Halo-like Perfect Dark-ish to the Wii, [...]
'Blendoku' Review - Making a Game of Color Theory
Blendoku [Free] is a game you might not immediately recognize as such. I didn't. Where, I wondered, is the challenge in lining up five colours according to hue? You put the darkest blue on the right side, the lightest blue on the left, and fill the rest with shades in between. A color theory exercise, [...]
The Waiter for iOS Released - New Game
Indie developer Reginald Bernardin today unleashed his first creation in the world of apps. The Waiter iOS is innovative and stylistic iPhone game. The game gives players a very unique and realistic task challenging them to use steady hands like a true waiter by using a sensitivity system that makes you balance your plate. The [...]Show More Summary

The TouchArcade Show - 100 - The Exquisite Pleasure of a Finished Basement
On this week's special episode of The TouchArcade Show, we celebrate the 100th recording of our show with a bunch of notable guests and celebrities.

'Fish Out of Water' Review - Fish Skipping, Halfbrick's New Sport
Halfbrick's games usually grab me immediately. Jetpack Joyride [Free] was the cave flier of my dreams, Fruit Ninja [$0.99] devoured my high-score hunting hours. I didn't immediately latch on to Fish Out of Water [$0.99], though. It doesn't have the same obvious hooks—the shiny coins and the upgrades that keep you hitting that play button [...]
'Raiden Legacy' on Sale for $1.99, Offers Four 'Raiden' Games in One
The retro game porting experts at DotEmu have brought all sorts of classics to the iOS platform in impressive fashion, and this past December they gave us the landmark scrolling shooter Raiden along with some of its sequels in one tight little package called Raiden Legacy [$1.99]. And for the first time since launch Raiden [...]
'Stealth Assassin' Review - A Cool Assassin Game with Some Control Issues
Being a stealth assassin sounds like the coolest job ever. Hunkering down in the shadows, sneaking up on your target, and quietly handling your business – all without making a peep or being noticed by anyone. While it sounds cool on paper, I could never actually handle being an assassin in real life. I feel [...]
