SoulCalibur
SOULCALIBUR

SOULCALIBUR Universal (Optimized for Both the iPad and iPhone)
(4.5 stars with 986 Ratings)
$14.99
After the mega success of Street Fighter for iPhone, it’s about time one of the other big names makes its way to the App Store. SoulCalibur is building on quite a franchise history, so there’s no reason to think it should be any less fun on iPhone as long as they get the controls right.
Ash II: Shadows
ASH II: Shadows (SILVER Edition)

ASH II: Shadows (SILVER Edition) Universal (Optimized for Both the iPad and iPhone)
(3.5 stars with 3 Ratings)
$0.99
Konami is building on a successful original, and this time around they’re introducing a gold and silver edition of Ash. The sequel claims to pack original storytelling and humor into one big adventure, and the whole thing can be had for $2.99 or $4.99 (expect in-app purchases to be encouraged in the cheaper option).
Niko

Niko Universal (Optimized for Both the iPad and iPhone)

Free
Are you ready for another platformer? If so, Niko is your guy—or your little squirrel critter, or something… The game takes a casual approach to platforming and utilizes a spring-jump mechanic that looks familiar. It’s free to get started, and you can unlock the full game for just $1.99.

JAZZ: Trump’s journey Universal (Optimized for Both the iPad and iPhone)
(4.5 stars with 101 Ratings)
$2.99
This just might be the first iPhone game based on an aspiring trumpet player. You play as a musician who is on a quest to assemble a band. Sounds simple enough, but things are complicated since your trumpet can stop time… Yeah, words are failing here. Check it out for $2.99.
Smash Cops

Smash Cops Universal (Optimized for Both the iPad and iPhone)
(4.5 stars with 11905 Ratings)
$2.99
I might have to download this one just based on its resemblance to Reckless Getaway… This time, you play as the cops and your mission is to overturn a fleeing vehicle. The controls appear to be innovative, as does the perspective offered by a hovering helicopter. For $2.99, we’ll be keeping our eyes on Smash Cops
