John Bedford (Modojo): It's the 4th July, and that means getting together with family and friends to enjoy a bit of time off, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Alternatively, it may actually mean getting comfortable on the sofa, stuffing your face with snacks, and getting some well deserved gaming time in.
If you're looking for a new game to get stuck into today, a whole lorry-load of fresh new titles have just hit the App Store. Here's our pick of the biggest new releases.

Without the support of this top secret fighting force, multiple fictional universes would have been crushed under Cobra's fashionable heels, so I celebrate our U.S. Independence Day by playing a game released by a Japanese company that hopes we're so heavily invested in nostalgia that we'll heavily invest in virtual currency.
