Rayman and Transformers may have been the big names in this week’s new releases, but they were far from the only quality games to hit the app store. Gamers also got a physics game sequel, a space-themed farming game and the latest shooting gallery app, all of which make this week’s top five.
1. Rayman 2: The Great Escape
Released on the Sega Dreamcast in the late 1990s, Gameloft’s Cocoto Magic Circus ($0.99) in the App Store, but few manage to stand out like this new release. An evil clown has kidnapped the fairy Pixie and you travel through ‘theme park’ levels to save her. I’m a huge fan of the games graphics; they are colorful, sharp and simply well done. It includes four characters, 35 mini-games, three difficulty levels and a multiplayer online mode. Magic Circus can come off as a bit cutesy and the controls are simple (you tap the screen to shoot), but this game should not be written off as just another shooter.
