Jungle Haste

I’m honestly a little confused from the screenshots, but this appears to be an endless runner? (maybe?) It features really good-looking comic book quality graphics, and the opportunity to ride on animals and use alien technology, plus there are Jetpack Joyride-like missions. Looks like fun to me.

This is a digital adaptation of the award-winning children’s tactical adventure game designed by Reiner Knizia. I have never heard of this game before, but looks pretty interesting. It has both single and multiplayer gameplay options on the same device. It appears that this is a special launch price and is brought to you by Ravensburger Digital, the people who published the digital adaptation of Scotland Yard.

Avengers Initiative
$6.99

We finally get the big reveal, and as I predicted the first title in the Marvel’s Avengers Initiative game series is an Infinity-Blade like game featuring everyone’s favorite green Avenger, The Hulk!. This one will certainly sell well, but it may have to fight for the top spot with Gameloft.

Wild Blood

Finally we have Gameloft’s God of War-like action game set during Arthurian times. This is the first of Gameloft’s titles to have been developed using the Unreal Engine. You can expect that this will be a HUGE hit, with its biggest competition coming from Marvel.
