Babel Rising 3D – ($2.99)
Once again gamers can step into God’s sandals and punish those heathen Babylonians for constructing towers of Babel. As its name implies, this sequel’s most notable change is the shift from 2D to 3D.

WarGames: WOPR – ($0.99)
Children of the 70s and 80s: pay attention! I have no idea whether WarGames: WOPR is any good or not. It’s just incredible and a little ridiculous that the game exists at all. The title is fully licensed from the 29-year-old(!!) Matthew Broderick film, and seems to take full advantage of said license.http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/...320x480-75.jpghttp://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/...nline_wide.png
Eager Beaver – ($0.99)
Eager Beaver looks like another friendly 2D physics puzzler from Chillingo. Build a beaver dam out of anything and everything you can get your hands on.
