Developer MadFinger Games has just announced a followup to the popular hack 'n slash title Samurai: Way of the Warrior. We reviewed the game when it was released in September of last year and found it to be an incredibly stylish (and incredibly difficult) action game with intuitive swipe controls. With plenty of awards and high review marks from around the web, as well as three quarter of a million copies downloaded, a sequel to Samurai seems like a no-brainer. Yesterday MadFinger started a thread in our upcoming games forum to dish out some new info and screens from the upcoming sequel, titled Samurai II: Vengeance. Here is the info straight from the developer, along with some work-in-progress screens from the iPad version (click for full size): Samurai II: Vengeance is slated to be released this September for 2nd and 3rd generation iPod touch, iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 4, and iPad.

Editor-in-Chief, iLounge Published: Monday, July 12, 2010 Category: iPod, iPhone, and iPad Gems: Apps, Games + More Welcome to the latest edition of Small Apps + Updates, our column designed for quick looks at recent app releases and updates. This week’s Small Apps looks at nine titles ranging from games to communications and reference tools. Our top pick of the bunch is the latest version of Fring. Read on for all the details. Normally, we’d consider including Villain LLC’s new first-person shooter Archetype ($3, version 1.0.5) in an iPhone Gems roundup, but after playing it for a bit, we didn’t think there was enough in the gameplay department to warrant even a two-paragraph review… yet. What Villain has come up with is the basis for a really solid shooter, including a silky-smooth 3-D engine with iPhone 4-ready, high-resolution graphics—unfortunately downscaled on the iPad, prior iPhones, and iPod touches—and a streamlined set Read More

Ready to hack and slash? I thought so. New from the brilliant developers at MADFINGER Games comes ‘Samurai: Way of the Warrior HD’… for iPad! That’s right, the award winning iPhone game has made its way to Apple’s big screen, with HD graphics and swipe controls in-tow. It goes without saying here that the graphics are stunning, and the gameplay is very intuitive. If you can use your hands to set direction and swipe the screen to chop off some heads, you’re good to go. Have I sold you on the game yet? There’s two game modes inside. The first sets you in the middle of the Japanese Sengoku period as Daisuke Shimada, a Samurai Warrior. It is up to you, as Daisuke, to jump, hack, slash and maneuver your way through each level. As you go, the levels get progressively harder, enemies become stronger, and the challenge becomes greater. It’s Read More

Still enjoying the afterglow of just how great Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck's Revenge for iPad [$9.99 / Free] is, I went scouring the App Store for other worthy "HD" versions of favorites of mine on the iPhone. More often than not these games feature little more than higher resolution graphics, but for quite a few of them, the bigger screen size of the iPad makes playing them a lot more fun, especially in instances where the game's interface felt too crowded or cramped for comfort on the smaller screen. None of these games are universal, which is a little annoying that you have to buy them twice if you've already downloaded them on your phone, but I've been guilty of re-buying my favorite movies that I already own on DVD in BluRay which is pretty much the same thing. ORBITAL HD, $2.99 - This is a favorite around my Read More
