It can be tough to keep up with all the new apps released every week. But you're in luck -- here's our app roundup.
A new iOS game called Letterpress will change the way you think about word games. On a basic level, the two-player game has you try to outscore your opponent by creating words using colored tiles.
Using a letter will make that tile yours, turning it your color. Surrounding a letter with your color will make it darker, and will make it your letter permanently. The goal of the game is to have more letters in your color than your opponent when all of the tiles have been used.
He-Man fans will love He-Man: The Most Powerful Game in the Universe. In the game you play the role of He-Man, who is tasked with defending the secrets of Castle Grayskull against your mortal enemy Skeletor.
The iOS game has 27 different levels including boss fights with Beast Man and Skeletor himself.
