Well damn, feels like I just posted last weeks release yesterday. Busy weekend and busy week so far. Heavy car maintenance over the weekend and a whole lot of Blizzard stuff this week, heh. Anyways...
Wednesday Release, very weak for me this week. Only picked up one game, surgeon simulator and that was a let down for me. When I saw the game memories of those surgeon games on the 3ds came flying at me and I honestly got excited, I loveeed those surgeon type games so I bought it immediately.
The controls are fustrating. The tutorial is shallow. Further research in to the pc version of this game revealed that the controls are actually exactly as intended, same as the tutorial and 'half the fun' of the game is apparently working with the controls and figuring out everything yourself.
All this game made me do was download the latest amateur surgeon from adult swim.
Oh, the links :
http://toucharcade.com/2014/03/12/new-iphone-games-march-13/
Touch Arcades list.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id814977594?mt=8
Surgeon Simulator, 5.99usd, 227mb download, ipad only.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amateur-surgeon-3/id601538051?mt=8
Amateur Surgeon 3, Free, Univsersal, 328mb download.
There's abunch of arcadey type games, afew rpgs and a strategy game on touch arcade's release list. I also linked Surgeon Simulator... which I don't overly recommend and Amateur Surgeon 3 which I do recommend.
I'm still playing Mines of Mars from last week, very good game.
Now, as to the Blizzard stuff. On monday pre-orders for Warlords of Draenor opened up, wifey and I got our deluxe editions ordered immediately. Good thing too, account management servers crashed within 30 minutes from the overload of usage. Spent the afternoon and evening with the wifey and her insta-fresh lvl90 shadow priest, teaching her the ropes. I already have a lvl90 of every class alliance side so I used my insta-fresh lvl90 as a monk horde.
Tuesday, diablo 3 got a patch and hearthstone exited beta. Hearthstone also offers a free mount in WoW to anyone who wins three hearthstone matches against other players. That equaled authentication servers crashing heh. Got my hearthstone mount for WoW tuesday afternoon and got the wifey her hearthstone mount wednesday afternoon. Suspect I'll be getting my mom her mount soon as she much like the wifey just aren't all that good at card games.
So, there's my week covering recap heh.

Mines of Mars
This game is something I've been looking for quite awhile for to be honest.
Universal, 4.99usd 89mb download.
Man, finally a game thats going to occupy all my ios time heh. Take the old ios game series 'i dig it', mix it in with the 3ds game 'steamworld dig' and add a easy to use crafting system. This game is something of an action platformer except that for all your exploring you'll also be digging, shooting and upgrading your way across everything. How to describe it...
Ok here's a basic run down. You go below the surface, you mine lots of ore and gems until your inventory is full. Once full you return to the surface, process the ore and gems into craftable materials. You then take these materials to the crafting station where you upgrade your pick axe, weapons, various armor slots and other utility quality-of-life options. Once done, you reload your fuel, ammunition and head down to do some more. During this you'll encounter wildlife that usually wants to eat you, you'll kill all of it. This is the basis of gameplay. Dig, explore, craft, do it all again. I'm pleased to note that none of your gear breaks so thats always a win.
And its great :)
The game features a full day / night system and platlife seems to grow over time underground. There is also a mini game building on the surface with several very old school pre nintendo titles.
Sound is atmospheric, very nice. Controls initially feel a bit ackward, particularly the shooting but about five minutes in I was comfortable. Left side of screen controls movement. Right side mid to upper controls your gun and aim, bottom right is jump.
I can tell I'll be playing this one for a good long while, I highly highly recommend it. This is a premium title, zero iap.

Wednesday Night Release!
Seems like every week the spotlight on released games is bigger than the week prior. Well either that or toucharcade is paying attention to more and more games every week. Either way, win win. Following link leads to TA's official release list and after that are links to the games I grabbed.
