It's my favorite night of the week, new iOS game release night, and this week brings a lot of interesting new games for your iOS devices. However, while there's plenty of great stuff on the list below, there's also a bit of bad news. NHL 2K was supposed to launch tonight, but at the last minute it was delayed for reasons unknown. Also, the awesome looking board game/card game/dungeon crawler mashup Card Dungeon that we checked out way back in April was also supposed to launch tonight, but is currently embroiled in Apple approval hell and so far hasn't shown up yet. We'll keep our eye on both of those situations, but for now load up on all the games below and let us know what you're picking up tonight.
Update: Huzzah! Card Dungeon has been approved and is available now. I've added it to the list below.
Update 2: Ok, Card Dungeon is being weird at the moment, but as soon as its App Store issues work themselves out, the link should be live at the bottom of this post.
Absorption
iTunes Description
In Absorption, you live by absorbing from enemies. You get score faster when you absorb more enemies at the same time.
