Do you remember that time you lost a month of your life to the iPhone game Dots? You'd better clear your schedule: developer Betaworks One has just launched its sequel, TwoDots, with the promise of 85 new challenging levels to conquer.The App Store description seems to promise a variety of new features, from "adorable Dots" like Yetis and Squids to gameplay mechanics that will see you sinking anchors, making bombs, putting out fires and more.Like the original, this one is a free download. Get it on the App Store here, and stay tuned for our full review early next week.

If you're a fan of JRPG's, there's a very good chance that you hold a special place in your heart for Dragon Quest VIII. Original released on the PlayStation 2, this is the game that comes to mind whenever somebody mentions Dragon Quest.I've been eager to play it on a modern console for ages - for some reason it's not part of the PlayStation Classics line-up on PSN - and it looks like tonight my dreams will finally come true. First spotted by TouchArcade, it looks like Square-Enix will be delivering this one to the App Store tonight with the hefty price tag of $19.99.

It never ceases to amaze me what makes it to the top of the App Store. Take Make It Rain: For Love of Money for instance. A variation on the Cookie Clicker concept with a tongue-in-cheek morality lesson, its simple gameplay and Wolf of Wall Street message provided us with a surprising amount of enjoyment when it was #1 earlier this month. It's raked in big bucks for its developers, too.Like any App Store success, clones were inevitable. This past week Make It Rain had to contend with one such release. But this one's fishy.For one thing, it has a title that could easily mislead gamers into believing this is another game in the same series. Make It Rain: Vegas Style has quickly shot up the free games charts, and as of this writing has even passed the game that seems to have inspired it.For another, it's from a highly reputable company: Big Fish Games.
