App Store Update Video

Game Debuts

Tiny Thief – ($2.99)

Headlining today's massive Thursday ASU is Tiny Thief, the second game to be published by Rovio Stars. (If you haven't heard about that, the gist is that the Angry Birds people are helping other games get noticed by a larger audience by publishing them under their name.) Tiny Thief is whimsical, physics-based, bear-unleashing fun starring a pint-sized, Robin Hood-like, good-hearted criminal. Take a look at the trailer here:

Call of Mini: Zombies 2 – ($0.99)

Triniti's latest sequel brings back their signature block-headed characters for more undead destruction, this time emphasizing quick swaps to secondary weapons:

Pacific Rim – ($4.99)

The game of the movie that's opening this weekend, this design adapts the film's giant monster vs. robot battles to fit the one-on-one fighting-genre standard.

Bloody Harry – ($0.99)

A bearded chef is out for blood when a wave of vegetable-mutant zombies assaults his restaurant:

Sprinkle Islands – ($1.99)

Where's your water? It's here, on Sprinkle Islands. Take a peek at its water-themed physics puzzles in action:

Ravenmark: Mercenaries – (Freemium)

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic – ($4.99)

Also half-off today is the iOS port of KOTOR. We reviewed this new version of Bioware's classic when it debuted in May and thought it was great, and this is the first price drop it's had since then. So it's a great time to grab it!
