Each week brings an absolute barrage of new games for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, but it can be difficult to pick out of the cream of the crop by looking at a mass of icons and titles. Luckily, we’re tuned in to the most notable releases, and we’ll be presenting a small stack of them with this column. Each week, you’ll find a diverse array of free and paid games across a variety of genres, and we’ll highlight the unique aspects of each, as well as anything that seems like it might be a barrier to enjoyment.
Visually impressive action games top this week’s lineup, notably Prince of Persia: The Shadow and the Flame and Bloodmasque, as well as a couple of alluring racing games in the form of Riptide GP2 and Delta-V Racing. An intriguing mix of other games, such as Sky Tourist and A Ride Into the Mountains, lead the rest of the bunch, meanwhile. Be sure to keep an eye out for full reviews of some of these titles in the coming days, and then check back next Thursday for an all-new list of notable games to consider.
