Mine Base Chess & Checkers by Ricardo Teixeira ($0.99, 22.3 MB): Chess and Checkers are two of the most challenging turn-based strategy board games, however, this variant of both classics adds three new offensive elements for greater difficulty. Mines are deployed before regular play begins and invisible to opponents. A rechargeable lightning-style death ray can destroy a single piece in one shot. Disabled by default, "dead zones" occur when mines detonate and render parts of the board unusable. The game features quality 3-D graphics and effects, single player mode against an AI, direct connect online multiplayer mode, multiple themes, as well as several preference options for each element. An ad-supported trial version is available.
Reckless Death Race - Road Rally Racing by Slightly Social ($2.99, 50.4 MB): Get your reflexes prepped for this action-packed steampunk-style combat racing game. What could be the mobsters wars of the future, you zoom around close encounter tracks in weapon and boost equipped vintage cars with hover conversions. Earning first place through great driving is the ultimate goal, however, simply eliminating all opponents also gets the job done. Experience, especially victories, results in rewards good towards vehicle upgrades and the chance to compete in a larger range of events. The game features 3-D graphics, six cars, three courses, various skill level opponents, adjustable camera and controls, as well as Game Center leaderboards and achievements. An ad-supported version is available.
