Kingdoms & Lords

This is Gameloft’s massive free to play simulation and strategy game. It looks like it has some cool ways to either challenge your friends in battle, or work with them and come to their aid by forming alliances and sending them gifts.

Blox

PITFALL!™
99¢
|
|
PITFALL! is reborn on the iOS platform as a free running Temple Run derivative. Combining both 2D and 3D 3rd person views as you whip snakes, swing on vines and jump across cliffs. As someone who earned his Explorers Club patch back in the Atari days, I’m super excited to see there are earn-able patches within the game and I’ve also heard a rumor that the classic game might be hidden somewhere within the game, but I’ve been unable to confirm this.

Super Mole Escape

You can always count on the guys from [adult swim] to offer some wacky gameplay, and it looks like you’ll probably dig their latest, a vertical free runner starring a gang of gem stealing moles. There is even an online mode where you can go head to head with one of your Game Center friends!

Pumped: BMX

The first of two BMX-related titles coming out tonight, this one leans more toward the casual 2D Excitebike style action but with a lot more tricks, peaks and valleys.

DMBX 2 – Mountain Bike and BMX
$1.99

|
Those looking for more realistic scenery with a (console-style) 3D third-person view may want to check this one out instead.

Edna & Harvey: The Breakout
$5.99
|
|
Last but not least is another point and click adventure game coming over from the PC (this is starting to become an awesome albeit pricey trend). Featuring some amazing looking dark and psychedelic hand-drawn 2D animation and a story line the involves a woman waking up in a padded cell of an insane asylum and trying to escape with the help of her talking stuffed to bunny. This one looks great!
