It's new iOS game time, and it's actually a pretty fantastic week if you enjoy good video games. The long-awaited return of RBI Baseball offers throwback arcadey baseball gaming exactly as promised, Blackmoor is an action platformer with personality in spades, and Wind-up Knight 2 is the sequel to one of my all-time favorites. And that's just a sampling, there's tons of other interesting stuff in the list below. Also, Family Guy and Trials Frontier are supposed to be out today, but haven't hit the US App Store yet, so we'll keep our eye on that. Eli streamed many of these titles earlier today, so be sure to check out those vids as well as the forum links below to see what's up with today's batch of new releases.
Blackmoor
iTunes Description
Remember a long time ago when fighting games were fun and had good controls?
Blackmoor ditches the virtual DPad and features fast paced platformer action with combos, special moves and tons of boss fights. A game of ghosts, goblins and streetfighting from the old school.
Long ago the minions of the dark lord Blackmoor forged a Talisman that would, when the time was right, return him to human form and... i dunno... take over the world for no reason.... It was kept in the depths of hell until a valiant band of crusaders stole it. Your mission is to destroy the talisman before the instruments of death reach you.
