TouchArcade Rating:

It’s Wednesday evening, which means a whole batch of new iOS games have just hit the US App Store. Normally I might mention a few of the games out of this week’s selection that have caught my interest, but honestly, what’s the point? Hodappy Bird is out today, and it’s poised to change the face of gaming as we know it, rendering other games null and void in its wake. Oh, some game called Hearthstone came out today too. It’s by some hobbyist developer named… Hurricane? Snow Storm? Something like that. Anyway, you might want to check that out too, I heard it’s pretty good or whatever.
