This week, I've taken over hosting duties, and I'm joined by James, Keith, and Jon in the booth. We've got the hottest iPhone and iPad news, all the details on the latest releases, and the answer to whether Tiny Wings really does need that movie tie-in.

In the news section this week, we talk about Rovio's acquisition of the Casey's Contraptions IP; N.O.V.A. 3's debut and our review of it; the art and direction of Gameloft's Gang Domination; and the Tiny Wings developer nearly being finished with his latest game.

As well as N.O.V.A. 3, LostWinds 2: Winter of the Melodias, Head Over Heels, and Jake Escapes have all surfaced on the App Store this week. We discuss them.

In What We've Been Playing, meanwhile, we question whether or not Keith has totally fabricated the game MacGuffin's Curse, I offer up a mini-review of NinJump, Jon talks about Lil' Kingdom, and James seems really distressed about his time with Deer Hunter Reloaded. He also does a great impression of a dying deer.
