We've been keeping tabs on Madfinger's Shadowgun since its first batch of ridiculously impressive images hit our message board. At times, we've speculated that it might not be as beautiful in motion as it is in images, but soon we'll all get a chance to go hands-on with the supposed technical marvel and judge for ourselves when it hits the App Store on September 28. And to be clear: it's hitting both the iPhone and the iPad at that time.

Shadowgun is a sci-fi shooter, inarguably inspired by slam-and-shoot third-person games like Epic's Gears of War. You'll play as a muscly bounty hunter tasked with taking out Dr. Edgar Simon, a geneticist who is creating his own personal army of mutants, cyborgs, and other genetically modified monstrosities. You'd figure by the year 2350 society would be able to identify the crazies before they construct fortresses and mutants, but here we are.

Hopefully, we'll be getting our grubby hands on a build before release. Naturally, we'll bring details as soon as possible if we do. As for now, marvel at those images and, hey, if you'd like to see the game in motion, check out this post or look above!

Crescent Moon Games' Pocket RPG [$.99 / UHD] for the iPad, a device that could only fit in the pocket of a JNCO brand pant, has gone Universal. Naturally, if you've spent the cheese on this specific version, the Universal-ness will come to you free of charge. The same goes for new purchasers, too, and �now don't you feel better about waiting it out now, mister smarty-pants? In related news, a similar update is live for Ambrosia Software's puzzler, Hypnoblocks [$1.99], but a one-dollar price hike accompanies it.

This update for Pocket RPG also rolls in a pretty important fix and a tweak. According to Crescent Moon, the game now loads faster in its post-update state. Also, the studio has fixed an endless dungeon � a fix that I imagine several of you are pretty happy about.

In Hypnoblocks' patch notes, Ambrosia notes that numerous tweaks and fixes have been added in its Universal update. This update also rolls in multiple language support and some new Game Center achievements to nab.

Pocket RPG got off to a pretty rough start, but we were able to enjoy the game after all the rubble was cleared. Hypnoblocks was awesome from day one.

Nimblebit's Tiny Tower [Free] [Universal] has been update, roughly, a billion times since our original review and we haven't covered them all, but the latest strikes us as special. Starting now, you can share those hours you've spent meticulously upgrading your tower on the world wide web via an option from the game's main menu. This seems like a sure-fire way to make mom and dad, sister or brother, or even loved one proud, if you ask us. Neat!

Additionally, this latest update adds new floors, new costumes, new settings for audio, and rolls in a staggering amount of crucial bugs, including ghost-painting and a crash bug that triggered when you viewed certain neighbors. The entire list of fixes, if you're really into this sort of thing, is available right here.

Despite its free-to-play model, Tiny Tower has managed to wiggle its way into our hearts. I think a big part of that reason is the fact that its balanced non-aggressively and isn't what I would dub "pushy" about taking your hard-earned coin. Give our review a read if you've not bothered with the tower simulation game quite yet.

The first major content update to Halfbrick's relentlessly awesome Jetpack Joyride [$.99] [Universal] is exactly what we wanted from an inaugural attempt to make the game better. Version 1.1 packs in a new fire-breathing robot dragon vehicle dubbed Mr. Cuddles, a fruit-spewing jetpack that makes a jolly mess all over the lab, and addresses several issues relating to achievements, missions, and other things like coin bankrolls.

Most importantly, it adds the studio's own person wizard Phil Larsen, the most amazing Australian I've ever shared a crab cake with, to the core game. Tragically, he's only making this single cameo appearance as of this moment, but I suppose it's only a matter of time until he succeeds Barry Steakfries in future games, right Halfbrick?

All of these improvements have been rolled in as a free update to the game, and it's totally up for grabs right now. If you're unfamiliar with Jetpack Joyride, go read our review and do the right thing: buy it.
