This week’s new iPhone and iPad releases are ready to lay the smack down on you jabronis! (translation: there’s a new wrestling game, and you should probably be playing it).
WWE Immortals isn’t the only thing you should care about this week: there are plenty of great puzzlers, punchers and page-turners to pick from. Did we miss anything fantastic? Let us know in the comments below.
