Karateka remake kicks and punches its way onto iOS App Store
Remember Karateka? You know, that classic 8-bit side-scroller fighter that made your jaw drop back in the 80′s? Well Jordan Mechner, the man behind the game and who later made Prince of Persia, has brought Karateka back to life with the help of Jeff Matsuda’s artwork (The Batman) and music by Grammy-winning composer Christopher Tin (Civilization IV). The remake first arrived on XBLA in early November and has now arrived on iOS.

Play the Walking Dead adventure game on your iDevice
If you download one game today, make sure it’s Telltale’s award-winning point-and-click adventure Walking Dead: The Game. This five-part series is just spectacular… from start to finish.
In Episode 1: A New Day, you take on the role of a con named Lee Everett, who’s thrust into survival mode when his police escort careers off-road and into a walker-filled forest. Your aim is to safely make your way to the small town of Macon, Georgia. Along your journey, you’ll meet and greet plenty of other apocalypse survivors, and be faced with tons of tough decisions. These decisions have an impact on future episodes. So, if you get on the wrong side of a survivor, don’t expect him to help you out of a sticky situation later down the line. Simply put, if you enjoy a good adventure game and are fan of the TV show/comics, be sure to grab Ep1 while it’s still free.

Santa Rockstar in Review – Heavy Metal Christmas Cheer
There’s something to be said about holiday themed games, and that’s by and large I don’t care for them. When it comes to Christmas these days the games usually seem to revolve around delivering presents or destroying renegade elves, both of which might be good for one or two variants apiece. Now don’t get me wrong – Santa Rockstar is still about saving Christmas, but at least the game format is one that hasn’t been touched so far in the holiday makeover realm. Ironically enough I’m not really a big fan of Tap Tap Revenge style music games, but in this case the theme and choice of music seems to make all the difference in the world.
Gifting Apps returns to iOS 6
Just in time for the holidays, you can now start gifting apps right from your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. This feature was available in iOS 5, but for one reason or another, Apple elected to leave it out when iOS 6 first launched. Now that it’s back, simply head to an app page in the App Store app, tap on the “action” icon located at the top right corner and select “Gift”. From there, enter the email of the person you’re sending the app to, leave an optional message (200 characters) and choose when you want the gift sent (today or a specific date up to 90 days in advance). This is especially handy when scheduling app gifting for someone’s birthday or other special occasions.
