It’s only every once in awhile that an iOS game of truly blockbuster-status hits the App Store, but this is one of those weeks… Gameloft is releasing N.O.V.A. 3, a title that will likely overshadow everything else for awhile. But there’s more to see this week than just the name-brand first-person shooter. Trailers and details below.

It’s a game of avoiding death by blade, mallet, pitfall, and more… You play as an Oakguard apprentice who is trying to get through the Path of Pain on his way to becoming a “fully-fledged” Oakguard. If that’s a challenge you’re up for, it’ll be 99 cents.

In the past, the iOS platform has been surprisingly welcoming to boxing games. Let’s hope that’s the case with Punch Hero, the new—and free—game from GAMEVIL. There will surely be in-app purchases as you work through opponents and improve your fighter in the Skill Store.
Penny Time

Penny Time Universal (Optimized for Both the iPad and iPhone)

$0.99
Skate through the side-scrolling world of Penny Time as you look to pickup points, secrets, and more. The post-retro game world looks pretty wonderful, and you can experience it for 99 cents. As usual with skating games, it’s all about the tricks and multipliers, but they look to be presented in quite an interesting way.
