After seeing it in action months ago at an Apple press conference, more than a million people downloaded “Epic Citadel,” the skeleton of an app that, until recently, has had no name and no release date. Since the announcement we’ve seen demos, pictures, and even heard an ambiguous release day (Holiday 2010). But now, the cherry on top of our App flavored double scoop: ChAIR Entertainment has just released a trailer. The verdict? You tell us.
Infinity Blade is the first app to utilize the Unreal Engine (Mass Effect, Gears of War, 50 Cent Blood in the Sand) and is easily the most gorgeous app we’ve seen. Infinity Blade will be released sometime in the coming months and features Game Center Integration and an early update will bring a fully integrated multiplayer mode in. We’ll keep you updated as new information rolls in.
Typically I avoid iOS games that cost more than 2 or 3 bucks- even the ones that merit higher prices, because I just don't spend that much time gaming on my phone/ipad.
This one however, I'm already committing to buy and I don't even know what the price is yet. It's the first iOS game release that has felt like a "real" game and not just a wimpy mobile device game.
I'm with you on that. I would easily drop twenty or more bucks on a real game on iOS. I already spend 30 or so on DS games and this blows those out of the water.
