Welcome to another Wednesday night and another batch of new iOS game releases. There are so many cool games coming out tonight. It took me by surprise a bit, actually. I've been waiting forever for games like Bug Heroes 2 and Tengami to arrive (and they were both SO worth the wait), but there are a lot of other really great-looking new games in this list that I'm dying to check out too. And don't forget that the Game Boy Advance emulator, GBA4iOS version 2.0, launched earlier today as well, and a bunch of people seem to be having fun with that whole thing. Check out the list below and be sure to visit the forums for impressions and check out Eli's Twitch.tv stream from earlier today where he played many of these new releases.
