Subatomic Studios calls this “the biggest sequel in tower defense history,” and it’s hard to argue with them on that… Fieldrunners brought lots of people into the fold of iPhone gaming, so it’s great to see that the sequel will finally be hitting the App Store, and for $2.99.

Fishing Superstars Universal
(4 stars with 1185 Ratings)
Free
Fishing and iOS games seem diametrically opposed to one another, but you’d never know it by looking at all the titles available to anglers in the App Store… Fishing Superstars comes to us from GAMEVIL and won’t cost a thing, so try it out if you’re looking to dip a toe into the waters of iPhone fishing.
Pocket Army

Pocket Army Universal
(4.5 stars with 8595 Ratings)
Free
A combination of army-buildng and RPG elements, Pine Entertainment promises lots of hack-n-slash and friendly competition. It’s free to play but will definitely come bearing in-app purchases.
Mad Cows

Mad Cows Universal
(4 stars with 79 Ratings)
$0.99
Everplay doesn’t even try to disguise this puzzler as anything but an Angry Birds knock off. In fact, they use taglines like “Don’t get Angry… get even,” and go even further by describing Mad Cows as a “multiplayer spoof of a wildly popular birds vs pigs physics game designed exclusively for iOS!”… So, I think you get the point.
Great Big War Game

Great Big War Game Universal
(4 stars with 556 Ratings)
$2.99
Here we have some turn-based strategy gaming that appears to be steeped in comedy and battle tactics. It’s a sequel to Great Little War Game, so some of you might know what to expect. GBWG will cost $2.99 and feature 50 single player missions as well as online multiplayer.
