Now that you’ve gotten your devices all updated with iOS6, it’s time to start looking for new games.
Due yesterday’s release of iOS 6, a number of devs pushed up their new releases, so many of these titles have actually been available for a few days now. From entertainment for your little ones to mobile titles featuring console heroes, there are a number of tempting goodies.
So let’s get started…

Cobypic Starter Book
Free
|
|
This is a fun coloring app for kids with a twist. Instead of just selecting a color from a tray, your child captures the colors using the camera on his or her iDevice. My 5 year-old Emily got to play an early build of this app and she absolutely loves it. She excitedly runs about the house finding things to use for colors.
I highly recommend this freebie and I’ve been told an expanded paid version is still in review with Apple.

Kind of a cool twist on defense games, this RTS allows for up two players to go head to head in 5-8 minute battles on the same device.

Toca Band

Heros of children everywhere, Toca Boca is back with a fun new toy for kids called Toca Band. Loads of cute characters and plenty of rhythm is is a must have title for kids. Both my daughters sure seem to love it (we’ll have a full review very soon).

This platfomer brings console favorite Rayman back to iOS after a long hiatus, and is already garnering some huge review scores as well as a feature from Apple.

Jump to Medieval – Time Geeks
$2.99
|
|
Everyone’s favorite Time Geeks (and Zoorgs) are back, but this time around the Where’s Waldo style gameplay has been replaced with RTS/Defense as you attempt to fight off the “evil Zoorg creatures who are lurking in the medieval village looking for the precious orb”.

STREET FIGHTER X TEKKEN MOBILE
$2.99
|
|
Another big console title hits the mobile space with CAPCOM’s brawler that pits the Street Figher and Tekken universes against one another. The game is currently at a special launch price of $2.99 (reg $4.99).
|
|
This RPG/puzzle game featuring what almost looks like a young Lara Croft, offers up some rather amazing looking visuals. No idea if it plays as good as it looks, but it certainly grabbed my attention.
|
|
A mysterious looking puzzle game for the iPad, The Room appears to challenge your wits, while offering a few chills.

|
DEMONS’ SCORE
$6.99
|
|
An interesting looking departure from SQUARE ENIX’s usual mobile fare, this is a rhythm fighting game in which you “battle demons in time to the rhythm”. While at first it may seem inexpensive (by Square’s standards) it looks like there is quite a bit of $2.99 IAPs which may spoil the experience for some. Hey at least it’s a universal app.
