New iOS Games Tonight: Bad Piggies, God of Blades and more!

Wednesday nights are a little like Christmas Eve for iPhone and iPad gamers. Every Wednesday, usually starting around 11pm EST, the App Store begins to fill its virtual shelves with the latest and greatest games for your favorite Apple devices.

Do you want to wait up and see if Santa comes? Or would you rather get to bed so you can unwrap your presents bright and early? Whichever you choose, we’ve rounded up the hottest titles that you’ll be able to treat yourself to this week.

Bad Piggies

Angry Birds might have been a cultural phenomenon, but I’m sure the little green pigs weren’t quite the fans of the feathered franchise that the rest of the world were. But tonight – after nearly two years of rumors – it looks like the pigs will have their chance at revenge. Bad Piggies will put players in the hooves of everyone’s favorite egg stealers, building contraptions and trying to gather up their delicious dinners by any means necessary.

God of Blades

Looking like the lost love child of Frank Frazetta, pulp sci-fi, and Infinity Blade, White Whale Games debut release finally hits the App Store tonight. Players will control the titular god as he swordfights his way across the landscape with smooth, swipe-based motions. Can this one become God of the App Store as well? We’re looking forward to finding out!

MechWarrior: Tactical Command

Strategy gamers have found a lot to love on smartphones this year, and yet we haven’t really seen an existing name in the world of thinking man’s combat make its way to the App Store. Tonight, that’s all going to change. The MechWarrior franchise makes its mobile debut with Tactical Command, putting you in charge of a whole host of pilot-powered, butt-kicking mechs.

King Oddball Ends the World

The latest game from 10tons, the makers of Azkend 2, seems about as odd as its name. The early press materials have left us stumped. It’s apparently about a floating rock head that flings boulders at things with its tongue – but what that actually translates to in terms of gameplay? I guess we’ll find out tonight!

Halloween has always been one of my favorite times of the year. It's spookily close to my birthday, you get to dress up in all sorts of frightening costumes and scare the living daylights out of your neighbors, and then you get rewarded for all of your efforts with heaps and heaps of delicious candy. But now there's another reason why I've grown to love Halloween: the mass amount of scary new mobile games that hit the App Store just in time for trick-or-treating!And this Halloween is certainly no different, as when the clock strikes midnight tonight to signal in the coming of October 31, we'll have a hauntingly realistic auditory adventure about being dead, a death-defying endless jumping game where your innocent Pygmy can meet his demise in a number of excruciating ways, and one of the creepiest physics-based puzzlers I think I've ever seen. So get ready to be in for the scares, because here are some of the new mobile games that are gearing up to start your Halloween off right!

Don't you just hate it when there are so many amazing new iOS games coming to the App Store all on the very same night that you can't possibly decide which one that you're going to play first? Sure, you can certainly download them all at the very same time, but you'll still be forced to choose one and only one to start with (unless of course you find some way to play three different iPads all at once, which in that case, the more power to you!).Well this always difficult decision couldn't apply more to tonight's amazing batch of brand new mobile games: from a magical adventure that rivals even Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda console games, to a highly-refined monster collecting RPG, to a mobile port of one of the most popular strategy Flash games that we've seen in recent years. There's no doubt that you'll want to be buying them all, but which one of these games will you be booting up first tonight? Be sure to let us know in the replies!
