Mid-week iOS releases: Hector: Ep3 - Beyond Reasonable Doom, The Sims Medieval, Another World - 20th Anniversary, Sky Gamblers: Rise Of Glory, and more

Another Wednesday means another dose of Pocket Gamer's round-up of the latest and greatest mid-week iPhone and iPad releases.

As always, we're just too busy to deliver an individual story on every single new release, so we bring you this easily digestible compendium instead.

Rob - back from his short holiday - and Rich are both manning the 'big chair', Mark is busy taking photos of elegant spider's webs, the rest of the team are debating how arachnophobia is spread, and I'm - once again - here.

This week is thankfully a lot better than last, with big titles such as Hector: Ep3 – Beyond Reasonable Doom, The Sims Medieval, and Another World - 20th Anniversary all hitting Apple's digital store.

These games are in the New Zealand App Store right now, meaning you can play them in the UK and US from around midnight tonight.

The third and final instalment in the popular Hector: Badge of Carnage series has hit the App Store, complete with its hard-nosed but soft-bellied copper.

This time, the point-and-click adventure sees you attempt to escape your demise, successfully return to Clappers Wreake, and save the town that took the 'Great' OUT of 'Great Britain' from extinction.
