With new mobile games hitting the App Store every single day, each week we put together a massive list of all the best new releases from the past seven days. Back in the old days, the App Store would feature the same games for a week, then refresh the feature every Thursday. That got developers into the habit of releasing games all day Wednesday or early Thursday morning, hoping to get a coveted feature spot. These days, the App Store is constantly refreshing, so there’s less of a need for everyone to release all their games on the same day. Still, we’ve kept the Wednesday night format, because for years, that’s when people have been checking TouchArcade for new games. So don’t delay any longer, check out this week’s full list of new games below, and let us know which ones you’re picking in the comments!
