These Three New iPhone and iPad Games Will Have You Playing Quite a While

When it comes to mobile, the games that hit it off are those games made for casual gamers. Think of Angry Birds, Temple Run, Draw Something. These are games made for people that play while waiting on a line, or after lunch before getting back to work, between classes, etc.

This week three very promising games have been released for iOS that for sure will have lots of you playing over the weekend, and beyond.
