The App Store is finally starting to pick up speed and tonight the flood gates are opening as tons of quality titles are launching simultaneously. Check out the fine selection below.
Soul Calibur is the port of the 1999 Dreamcast version of the game and is debuting to the tune of thirteen dollars. Though the typical Apple gamer may balk at the price tag, fans of the fighting series are probably mashing the buy button as it releases around the world.
The popular JRPG Ash, now has a sequel which is surprisingly published by Konami. There are two versions called Silver and Gold. Apparently Silver gets you half off all future content updates presumably available by iAP. Gold, while being a bit more expensive, promises free content updates forever.
Looks like an interesting turn-based combat game with an interesting story. Coming from Smuttlewerk studios, we are sure this is a top of the line game.
Another of the many word game that have been taking the Appstore by storm over the past few weeks. From the description it seems like a combination of Bejewled, Tetris, and Spell Tower. Certainly looking forward to this one.
Also a number of other releases came out earlier today before the massive rush. Here are the ones that looked worthwhile to download:
Coming from the master of retro games, Llamasoft, this will tide you over till the rest of the releases come out and probably for the rest of your weekend! Just got it and am really loving it so far.
OVERTURN - $3.99 [iPhone only]
(Footage of Wii version)
Adapted from the Wii to the touchscreen interface, Overturn certainly looks like an interesting game. My only worry is that the controls may not be the best. Other than that looks great!
Now it's your turn to have your voice heard! Let us know in the comments which of these games you would like to win and we will try to secure a code for you.

The free version has 15 levels from the paid version that you can try out first before you decide to buy the game. The free version is also universal just like the paid version.
