Here’s an overview of what iOS games Apple announced:
Content: Dark Meadow: The Pact

Using fun and intuitive fully gesture-based controls, you explore the decaying ruins of Montclair Hospital, armed with your crossbow for long-range combat as well as your sword for up close and personal melee battles. The best elements from role-playing games encourage exploration as a wide variety of items are secreted throughout the world – from hidden scraps of paper that reveal the mystery of your imprisonment, to weapons and items, to money which can be used to purchase better equipment and weapons.

Content: Violet Storm
Price: $0.99
Description: Some games have a story to tell. Others make you think to get through a series of complicated puzzles. Violet Storm doesn’t have any of that. What is does have is pure, intense, unabashedly over-the-top, non-stop action – rendered in fantastic glowing-neon style with fast-paced techno music in the background.
And the most surprisingly satisfying part? The many enemies in the game explode into lots and lots of pieces with the sound of shattering glass, which somehow irresistibly draws you in to keep going and going until no more hitpoints are left.
